Really scary column in this morning's Oregonian. Some kid in Madras (not the Indian one) was arrested for having sex with his underage girlfriend. The grand jury returned a "not to be indicted " finding but the jury foreman incorrectly signed the document (you're only supposed to sign if the jury indicts). Well, the prosecutor, D.A., judge and jail officials all "neglected" to see that the jury actually hadn't indicted and put the kid in jail. It was only because one of the jurors happened to read a little article in the Madras paper and called the D.A. that the kid was released--temporarily. The prosecutors are trying to blame the defense attorney and the kid himself for not noticing and they are now prosecuting him all over again, since because of the error, the first case is legally "nullified," so, according to them, there's no double jeopardy.
