Here is a good essay by an Occupy activist who was imprisoned for elbowing a police officer who assaulted her. It shows the stupidity of the US justice (sic) system and the Kafkaesque quality of life in the US:
At trial, McMillan argued that she accidentally struck the officer after he grabbed her breast, bruising her. She’d previously refused to take a plea deal that would still have resulted in her pleading guilty to a felony. The jury found her guilty – though later nine of the 12 jurors issued a call for leniency in sentencing.

Does anything in the US make sense any more?
