It was no accident that Douglas Maupin spent 83 days in jail after being arrested on a 6-year-old warrant for failure to appear for jury duty.


I'd sue the bastards. Or accidentally run 'em down.




State District Judge Greg Brewer acknowledged Friday that he knew Maupin had been sitting for months in the Collin County Detention Facility. He said he decided not to set a court hearing date for Maupin – or review his requests for a court-appointed attorney – until after some traffic citations were settled.


Sounds like the latter option is most deserved.
