| QUOTATION: | But jail’s not the answer in a case of this sort, / To balance the equities is the job of this court. / So a week before Christmas, here in the court, / I sentence defendant for interrupting a sport. / Community service, and a fine you will pay. / Happy holiday to all, and to all a good day. |
