Justice for Root Beer!

Jail time avoided:

• The man convicted of tossing root beer in the face of former Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx was sentenced to a year of probation on Monday, bringing to an end a case that critics say highlighted the county’s two-tiered justice system, in which some victims appear to hold a premier status.

  William Swetz, 35, was convicted of aggravated battery in a public place on November 17 after a bench trial before Judge Tiana Blakely. At the same time, the judge found him not guilty of aggravated assault with a motor vehicle.

  The Illinois Attorney General’s Office handled the prosecution during Swetz’s two-day trial at the Markham courthouse.

When a moron meets another moron, moronic stuff happens. 

But as CWB notes, it did highlight the two-tiered system in place to protect the clouted from their own idiocy by pretending to be better and more important than the peons they rule over.
