In Passing

“If that isn’t the most lame-o ‘reason’ in history for a screw-up like this...

...it’s got to be up there in the top three.” - JSB
Yep:
Officers were trying to serve a warrant for a man wanted on drug charges. The address listed on the paperwork was 4042.  The Minton’s home is 4048, with both house numbers clearly marked.

But Major Mark Robinett of the Marion County Sheriff’s Department, who is in charge of warrant sweeps, said he was told that officers had a difficult time reading the addresses because of overcast skies. -

Let me get this straight:  the clouds were in my eyes?

Too bad I do not have any cases in Marion County where I could use this.  E.g. an OWI.  "Judge, my client was not too drunk to see the stop sign--the clouds were in his eyes."

Major Robinett would be listed as an expert witness in every single case.
