Brickbat: The Eyes of Texas

A Texas judge has sentenced
Clifford Hall to six months in prison for delinquent child support
payments. Hall thought he was making the payments, but a clerical
error by
his employer kept the money from reaching the child’s
mother. When Hall found out about the error, he not only made sure
the back payments got to her but gave her an extra $1,000. That
didn’t satisfy the judge, nor the appellate court which upheld the
ruling.
