From the Gaston (NC) Gazette:
Lincoln County Sheriff Tim Daugherty made his first appearance in court Tuesday morning. TV and newspaper reporters sat in the audience along with a few of Daugherty’s employees. Daugherty shook the hand of one of the courtroom bailiffs and patted him on the back before the proceedings began. “He’s a great man, a Christian man. He ain’t guilty of nothing,” Lt. Stanley Crowder said while sitting in the front row of the courtroom. The first appearance was over in just a few minutes, with Daugherty pleading not guilty to the three charges he faces — two felony counts of obstruction of justice and a misdemeanor charge of giving a false report to law enforcement.
We wonder if members of the Rove Republican Racket still sleep at night thinking they "ain't guilty of nothing."
