Kangaroo Justice

The law is a powerful, complicated thing—and sometimes a devastating one. Robert E. Lee Elliott learned this when he went before the court as the injured party, won, and then placed a $35,000 judgment for slander. Lawyers and the court system turned the judgment around, now giving him two weeks to pay the slanderous party $125,000 or have his house, property, and personal possessions auctioned off by the local sheriff.
