A reading FrontBurnervian has a question about the WFAA story:
If the lede is true [that Behrouz was found guilty], why does the last line of the piece read: “If the defendant is found guilty, he could receive anywhere from 10 years probation to two to 20 years in prison.”
Hmm. Maybe he’s been found guilty but not yet sentenced? Not sure. Certainly an editor would have caught that.
An update on the item Tim told us about: Behrouz Nahidmobarekah was found guilty of spreading his dried feces on pastries at Fiesta in East Dallas. Gotta love the defense:
“It’s not enough that is grosses you out, and it grosses everyone of us out, but what you have to prove is that it will probably cause serious bodily injury,” said Clark Birdsall, defense attorney.
In other words, “If the poo doesn’t make you sick, you must acquit.”
