Norman, Norman Hsu

where are you?

Times two.

This isn't exactly the first time something like this has happened, as anyone who has followed Lake County politics knows.

What is it with prosecutors and judges trusting defendants with money and international connections? "Hey, you're being charged with a crime that could get you years in prison. But we'll trust you. I mean, why would you want to flee? Sure, you have money and an easy way to skip the country, but that doesn't mean anything. Heck, we'd be profiling if we thought otherwise. No chance in the world you'll run away."

Jeezus.
