In Clayton County, Ga., there's a statue in front of the courthouse. The statue shows a police officer bending over to help a small child. Nice image, huh? A police officer befriending a child. Traditional Americana stuff.

Well, in Clayton County we also have a lawyer by the name of Lee Sexton. He's a criminal defense lawyer.

Defense lawyers stand between the police power of the state and ordinary folks like thee and me. The state has the power to deprive us of life, liberty or property. The role of a defense lawyer is to make sure the strict requirements of our Constitution are met before the state can act against us.

OK ... enough buttering-up of defense lawyers. This particular one, Lee Sexton, doesn't like that statue in front of the Clayton County courthouse. The statue puts police officers in a positive light. He's afraid some juror might see that statue when he enters the courthouse and thus form a positive opinion of cops. So Sexton is thinking of filing a lawsuit to have the statue removed.

Isn't that just wonderful? A lawyer who objects to police officers being presented to the public in a positive light.

Only in America.
