Moore poetic justice



Thou shalt not lie!  (Lucas Cranach the Elder)
United States District Judge Raymond Moore has been known to favor poetic justice.

He recently ordered a postal employee who faked cancer to complete “652 hours of community service at a cancer treatment center, cancer research center or hospice.”  Maybe now this employee, Caroline Boyle, will realize that cancer (and/or veracity) is not something to fool with.

Moore specifically chose 652 because that is the number of sick-leave hours Boyle had fraudulently used.  She had forged a doctor’s note, but had misspelled his name.  A Justice official therefore offered this wry advice:  If you’re attempting to scam the government, at least get the names right.
