Parking ticket turns into felony perjury conviction: The truth will come out

Opinion

On March 19, 2002, Mr. Toombs

pled guilty pursuant to the first offender act to one count of perjury,

a felony, transforming a parking ticket into a felony count with three

years of probation and over $1,000 in fines and surcharges.

It is sometimes frustrating,

during a daily pursuit of the truth, to see person after person come into

court with no respect for the sanctity of the courtroom, the justice system,

nor the truth. After the Clinton administration, we as a society have

come to accept that a lie can be acceptable for the "right reason."

The truth has no shades of gray in a courtroom, and it is nice to occasionally

prove that point, no matter now long it takes.
