I would like to read episode 2 of this story.

Because, you know...

It turns out that Johnny Copper had a great reputation throughout the precinct. When he appeared in front of the judge to defend himself. He had a very simple defense.

"Your honor, I've been here for many years. As you can see my reputation (based on number of days appearing at work) is quite high. I have also donated to the State Penal system (SP for short). In fact, I was a very early sponsor of the SP system and started working with it before anyone else was around. ..."

The judge deliberated for a couple of minutes before declaring the verdict ...

" In closing, due to your high SP and reputation ... you are correct the system allows it."
