Good News/Bad News

Good news: Cory Maye, the Mississippi man who, as a result of the “War on Drugs”, ended up railroaded as a murderer over an obviously understandable mistake, will get a new trial.

Bad news: Even so much as saying “dog” in a song a certain way is now copyright infringement.

Props to Balko for both.
