Giving Justice The Finger
By Kleinheider Posted on June 30, 2008 at 12:07 pmJohn Ford has done it in many ways over the years but never quite so literal:
Jury selection in the federal corruption trial of former Tennessee state Sen. John Ford was delayed in Nashville this morning after Ford’s defense attorney was hospitalized over the weekend.
Attorneys in court said Assistant Federal Public Defender Isaiah Gant was admitted into a Nashville hospital Sunday suffering from an inflamed finger. Gant underwent surgery Sunday after his finger did not respond to antibiotics.
