The undercover investigator who was responsible for sending 46 people to jail (39 were black) on falsified charges has been indicted.

I know some people were following the story before.

I was following it, and I hadn’t seen this yet.

All I can say is about frickin’ time. That’s fabulous news.

Excellent. I hope he gets the maximum 10 years on each of the three charges.
