Brian Earl Taylor was sentenced to up to 17 years, "for unlawful imprisonment and carrying a concealed weapon."   His in court commentary before sentencing was to sing "I'm sorry" lyrics to his own version of Adele's Hello -- followed then by a request for a "much shorter sentence."   ... maybe it's a Michigan thing.   story

Principle in the type:  "You want room for your thoughts to get into sailing trim and run a course or two before they make their port. The bullet of your thought must have overcome its lateral and ricochet motion and fallen into its last and steady course before it reaches the ear of the hearer, else it may plough out again through the side of his head."      Henry David Thoreau
