A little humor on Roger Stone's "Notice of Apology"

from a Slate article Dahlia Lithwick

Experts tell me that there is no such thing as a Notice of Apology. Alternet interviewed several longtime lawyers and came up with nothing: “I’ve never seen a ‘notice of apology’ filed before,” said former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti.

“I’ve been doing federal criminal law for 24 years and I’ve never seen anything like this,” agreed Ken White, a defense attorney and legal analyst. “This is not normal.”

Stay tuned for yet more inventive new pleadings from Stone’s legal team, no doubt including a “Notice of I’ve Grifted All My Life and Can’t Stop Grifting Now,” a “Motion to Believe Those Crosshairs Were a Smiley Face,” a “Motion to Turn Back Time to Before I Threatened a Federal Judge Overseeing My Case,” and a “Cross Motion That Nothing Matters Anyway.”

those are not crosshairs they are registration marks used in printing to line up the different color plates.

They had to make something up quick so they did. Now they have to make Stone seem contrite and humble in court. Good luck with that.
