Radley Balko sinks to a new low

In a quick-hit post, wrapping up several unrelated items, Radley Balko commits a terrible joke:

Here's a prosecutor who's enthusiastic about his work:

During his closing argument, prosecutor Robert Nelson re-enacted the bondage session that allegedly killed Michael Lord, 53, of North Hampton, N.H., in July 2000. Donning a leather mask and speaking to the jury through the zippered mouth, he said Lord flailed about and died while strapped to the rack in a makeshift "dungeon" in Asher's Quincy condominium. [...] The prosecutor pointed and hollered at Asher. He dumped a box full of hoods, collars, and paddles onto a table, and proclaimed that Asher was trying to protect her business. "That's why she didn't call the police," he said. With both hands, he reached back and clutched the top of a blackboard to simulate Lord being strapped to the rack. He paused as his head hung forward as if to simulate Lord's alleged death.

The defendant . . . um . . . got off.

Sorry.
