If you follow that line of reasoning, one would have to conclude that the 17 year old got off very easily and should have been given a jail sentence........and yet, Mr. Pickering does not appear to have minded or objected to that grave error in justice. You keep repeating this. Do you not understand what is meant by the term "jurisdiction"? Pickering had no jurisdiction with respect to the 17 year old. You somehow have focused your attention in the Pickering matter to a case in which he was not involved. I believe you are totally confused and/or ignorant about the facts of the Pickering case, and probably about the general precepts of the law as well.

If you follow the line of reasoning about the fair thing for Mr. Swan you don't have to conclude anything about the 17 year old. If the 17th year old did shoot a gun in to the house he should have been charged with that offense, but apparently he was not. Either they couldn't get enough evidence (in which case the judge and jury are not supposed to consider it when deciding punishment for the cross burning) or the prosecutor didn't do his job. In fact, Mr. Pickering was so committed to helping D. Swan, he violated another judicial law......ex parte contact.......when asked, he barely remember doing it and blew it off as inconsequential. Mr. Pickering was the judge, I don't think he asked Swan to hire him as a lawyer. He blocked the implementation of the 1965 Civils Right Voting bill for a number of years Delaying or even opposing a civil rights law doesn't mean that you are a racist. Tim
