A reporter from the city was writing a feature story about rural justice, and it so happened that on the day he was observing, sentencing came up in two felony cases. In the first case, a man was sentenced for Murder in the 2nd degree, in which he had killed his wife's lover. He received 15 years, probated to 3. In the second case, a man was convicted for stealing a neighbor's prized hog. The value of the hog made it a felony, and the judge meted out a full five year term, no probation. After court was over for the day the reporter asked the judge how it was he could effectively give a murderer three years while giving a thief five years. The judge replied, "Son, in my days on the bench, I've met a lot of men that needed killing, but not one hog that needed stealing."
