Criminy, this conflict has consumed a lot of space here lately, but at least there's an amusing twist. According to this Oregonian article:
Boyd, who represented himself, said he won over Circuit Court Judge Pro Tem Christopher Larsen by quoting the Merriam-Webster dictionary's second definition of brake: "Something designed or used to slow down or stop movement."
Several more brakeless cases are on the docket. It's like an episode of Law and Order...there's just no telling where this one will go!
In other news, Portland named the safest place on the planet, on account of the complete lack of crime, and the po-po have resorted to setting up dragnets for unruly architects and bike messengers.
