<<. What was the "Grey" something scandal a few years ago? The federal judges -- Kerner, the Chicago five judge, etc were pretty bad. >>

Graystone. My friend did time with those guys in the federal pen at Delevan, Wisconsin. He said they were good bridge players. The card game met every day after the tennis lessons.

<<Illinois also had lots of wrongful death sentences. >>

That wasn't the judges. Those were due to detectives hiding and manufacturing evidence and the states attorney's office going along with it to get a good conviction rate. Last year more on death row were released than got the needle. It's made for a rash of appeals.

<<Place is too damned flat. The shit never seems to drain away.>>

Galena in the Northwest corner has the highest point. Bloomington, actually just south of Bloomington 1/4 mile from me, is the second highest point. ;^)
