[Newspoetry] very strange story about drug use and capital punishment

[Editor-Within-Chief]

A judge sentences people to death, then is convicted of marijuana 
possession.  The issue: was he stoned when he decided to sentence them to 
death, and if so does that invalidate the sentence?  The more stoned you 
are, the deeper the issues in this story seem to go ;)
