2003 Stella Awards
The Stella Awards for 2003 have just been announced. Unlike the bogus Stellas that have been littering your inbox in recent years, these ones are for real. The top prize goes to the City of Madera, CA, for suing the Taser company after an idiot cop, Marcy Noriega, shot a suspect to death with her service revolver instead of subduing him with her Taser. This case is so dumb it makes the case of the original Stella sound almost reasonable by comparison.
