Even better - that particular case record is *so* heavily flawed that it might - in retrospect - actually help de-fang any attempt to use it - even IN North Dakota. Not to mention having heightened awareness of the need for being better prepared with accurate information if/as/when a case should arise that does NOT predominently hinge on the strange antics of what appear to be outright fools on all sides. The US legal system is a mess - but I'm not losing any sleep over this one.
