Pffft!

Gotta love legal distinctions. To wit:

"Prosecutor's suggestion in closing argument that it was improbable that a 'girl' would be driving around with a .357 magnum in her car did not so prejudice defendant as to require reversal of his conviction for armed violence.
--People v. Nemecek,
213 Ill. Dec. 876, 660 N.E. 2d 133, 277 Ill. App. 3d 243."
(20 Ill. D 2d. 13, emphasis added)

Yeah. Right. Whatever that means. Can you really believe something so chock full 'o bullshit?! "Ain't no reason a little chick would have a big 'ole gun in her little 'ole car, so it must've been defendant, here, who perpetrated the violence. Couldn't have been anybody else!" And the asshole prosecutor gets away with it! With the imprimatur of the bench!

Hmm. Reasons I'm not an attorney....
