I couldn't believe it. When I arrived early at the courtroom for my disturbance-of-the-peace hearing, I found myself in the tail end of an earlier death-sentence appeal.
"Clemency is denied," said the judge, "the prisoner is condemned to death."
"When should the sentence be implemented, Your Honor?" asked the attorney.
"What was Mr. Brown's occupation?" the judge responded.
"He was a cable-tv installer, Your Honor."
"In that case, he will be executed someday next week and sometime between 8:am and 5:pm."
