BUTTS TESTED BUT NOT TRIED

LegalView's DumbJustice - Dumb Justice

Susan Butts, of Marshalltown, Iowa, hit the headlines earlier in the year after she was caught stealing toilet paper from the county courthouse and, theoretically at least, she could have faced two years in prison for her crime.

Following a recent psychological evaluation, however, she has been declared incompetent (or should that be incontinent) to stand trial. Despite the ruling, the judge has said that Butt may still have to answer for her crimes if her mental condition improves.

Assinine.
