For those of you who missed the previous slashdot posting, Sherman was arrested on Feb. 2 for the contents of his website raisethefist.com. This comes as more of a surprise than the FBI raid on his house." Just a couple of days ago, the government was planning to transfer him to California to face charges there, but now according to Newsbytes, those have been dropped. Read that link I just gave - there's quite a lot of interesting information that came out during the hearing. The attorney's concern about Austin being jacked around in "detention" for an indefinite period of time says a great deal about our judicial system.

Fire in the Crowded Theatre by polymath69 · 2002-02-15 10:53 · Score: 0, Offtopic

And before everyone posts 'It's not legal to yell "Fire" in a crowded theatre,'

A question of legal philosophy: is it illegal to call "Fire" if the theatre is, in fact, alight?
