Justice for All?

ANTIBIOTIC: Steven Kurtz, a professor at the University at Buffalo, New
York, was arrested after emergency workers, called to aid his wife, saw
bacteria cultures in his house. Kurtz explained the bacteria were for
an art project to protest government food policies, but he was indicted
in federal court as "a bioterrorist," his lawyer says, adding the
charges were retaliation over Kurtz's criticism of the government. U.S.
District Judge Richard J. Arcara agreed: he ruled that the indictment
"is insufficient on its face" and dismissed the charges. Total time
from discovery of the cultures to dismissal of charges: three years, 11
months. (Buffalo News) ...We call that "justice at the speed of
bureaucracy".
