That ain't cool! In a WaPost Editorial, GWU Law Professor Jonathan Turley mentions that, from in prison, accused sniper John Allen Muhammad raised protest to a legal point -- he was about to be subjected to a medical test not ordered by the court nor discussed with his attorney. He probably doesn't have to take the test.

So the guards did the most obvious thing: they forced him to take it. By giving an 8-second 50,000 volt shock with the stun belt attached to him.

Lessons learned: it's easy to forget what you can't do when, in fact, you can do it. (Okay, how many of you just thought "Well, but how bad can THAT be?")
