In late April 1984, someone broke into law offices at 1123 S. W. Yamhill St. and poured a liquid on a hallway run that was so odorous it made at least one of the lawyers who smelled it vomit twice.
What's the statute of limitations on stink bombs? Surely, it's too late to prosecute him for this?
Good point! This didn't even occur to me (nor apparently to the writer of the article, nor maybe even to the cops). It sure looks like they're trying to throw a bunch of charges against the wall and hope that some of them stick...or scare Bell into pleading to a lesser charge, etc. Seems to me a good attorney could carefully dissect the "innuendo charges" (e.g., undermining the government, stink bombs long in the past, manifestos calling for AP, etc.) and separate them from each other, leaving very little of substance to get a conviction on. --Tim May There's something wrong when I'm a felon under an increasing number of laws.
