I was much amused by this statement, in a recently released opinion:

As a result of defendant’s third degree CSC conviction in this case the fifteen-year-old victim of defendant’s CSC became pregnant and gave birth to a child.

There's more consequences to a conviction than one would imagine...

This was on the front page of today's Charlotte Observer. I have nominated it for the worst paragraph of the year.

"These hogs, also called wild boar, are said to descend from Russia's Ural Mountains. They were brought to these mountains (western NC) to be hunted. Black and bristly, their tusks curve out of long snounts, tiny eyes warily squinting under a thick lump of shoulder muscle."

If you have to work harder to misunderstand it than you would to 'fix' it, then reanalyze your understanding of grammar.

I agree, Faldage. If you have to work at misunderstanding something, you should have misunderstood yourself in bed.

BTW headline should have read: "VCR felon released after serving more than 5 years of 2-5 year term. Appeal court ruled inmate got more time than he deserved, and he did more time than he should have."
