Justice?

This story came to me via the popbitch newlsetter which is normally funny and irreverant but the story of Chad Wegkamp‘s attempts at bank robbery in order to get enough money for an operation on his scrotum is heart-rending and highlights some obvious flaws in the American justice system. Most shocking is the failure to take extraneous circumstances into account & the “I don’t make the rules…” attitude of the Chief Prosecutor.

Added to all that, the guy tried to cut open his own scrotum! Ouch.
