In such a case, it is not a question of discovering the commission of a crime and then looking for the man who has committed it, it is a question of picking the man and then searching the law books, or putting investigators to work, to pin some offense on him." http://www.kennethpike.com/everyone_is_a_criminal.html#comments Mon, 26 Nov 2007 19:47:17 +0000 Kenneth Pike 221 at http://www.kennethpike.com http://www.kennethpike.com/honorable_men.html "Give me six lines written by the most honorable of men, and I will find an excuse in them to hang him." http://www.kennethpike.com/honorable_men.html#comments Mon, 26 Nov 2007 19:46:44 +0000 Kenneth Pike 220 at http://www.kennethpike.com http://www.kennethpike.com/innocent_men.html "There's no way to rule innocent men.
