Please, stop this. This is off topic on HN. A prosecutor's legal battles with some drug-infested motel is not what I come here to read about. Stop turning HN into a tabloid where people read about loved and hated celebrities.
_This_ is blatantly off topic. Journalists and bloggers are sensationalist and know how to keep milking a good story when they see it. I do not expect this to overflow to HN.
It's worse than that -- it's simply not interesting.
Not on HN, only on reddit. You can flag them.
