This is so ridicules. Now a mans life has been destroyed because he liked to smoke marijuana.
"I think it strikes a severe blow to law enforcement in Tennessee," said legal analyst Jim Todd. "His opinion has been the cornerstone of numerous homicide convictions in this state." "You could draw the inference - he was under the influence while providing an opinion on the stand or during a autopsy," said Todd.
For one thing you do not draw inferences when it comes to the law. You must have evidence. Legal analyst Jim Todd is obviously a dope.
(Pun intended.)I wonder how many judges are under the influence of booze while on the bench. I would say quite a few considering the majority of judges I know are lushes. I have never been arrested but I have been around law enforcement folks and the majority drank like fish. You draw an inference that there was a high probability one of the arresting officers or jailers were drunk.
