News That Sounds Like a Joke
(1) In Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, a guy beat a DUI rap by proving that he was swilling only fermented horse milk. (2) A county health and safety officer in England recommended toning down police awards for bravery, which refer to acting "with no thought to his or her safety" (which just encourages unsafe behavior!). (3) The District of Calamity Superior Court opened a mental-health clinic right there in the courthouse [Ed.: Oh, wait, that's not a joke; I used to practice criminal defense law there, and about half the people in the building (including the lawyers) need a clinic like that far more than a courtroom.] Associated Press via Yahoo /// Daily Mail /// Washington Post

It would be nice to have it available to defendants, judges, jurors, attorneys, prosecutors trying to determine fitness for trial, detectives, and all officers of the court - with a Public Counselor in every courthouse. The Public Defender's office could report to them as the Prosecutors report to DA.
