11. What? Leonard Peltier not among these righteous cheat/cokeheads?

You know, the one who was fighting for his native people here in America and whose conviction was based on NO evidence?

The one whose convicting circuit judge later said that he regretted not overturning the case?

:mad:

America, my ass. Amerika.

10. Scoey Lathaniel Morris (if you find more info post it here)

Age: 35

Couldn't pull up ANY FREAKING THING beyond what Intellius has. Very high probability this information is correct. But who the hell is this guy?!? Crosby is a super-ass small town in Texas, with about 1,700 people. My guess is the kid is African American busted on some racially-twisted reading of a securities law?

Relatives names can be found free from Intellius but I'm not posting them here because I don't think they're probably important.
