This Week with the Sheriff

Okay, the rumors are quelled. No, the sheriff did not resign. Nor did his deputy. No, the sheriff's wife did not leave him.

It's an election year, and all is fair in politics, right?

Grand juries are about looking to see if there is anything wrong. They are not a charge that there is anything wrong. Someone can allege things, imply things, throw innuendo, and start a grand jury based on things that are out of context. The grand jury is meant to go look more closely. Like a fishing expedition. The bad part is then rumors get started, and the next thing you know, people start believing the rumors. It is very easy to get people to believe rumors.

Got something to say about this? You can comment anonymously, but please throw in a fact here and there if you do.
