Oregon Bomb Squad Called in to Defuse ... Prosthetic Leg

HILLSBORO, Ore. —  A scary situation turned into a strange one when a bomb squad determined that a suspicious package left outside the Washington County Sheriff's Office contained a prosthetic leg.

Sheriff's Sgt. Vance Stimler said deputies called the Portland bomb squad out to Hillsboro Sunday afternoon after noticing a canvas bag with a cylinder-shaped object sticking out.

With the help of a robot, the bomb squad quickly discovered the object was not an explosive.

Stimler says deputies still don't know whose leg was inside the bag, or why it was placed in front of the sheriff's office.

The courts will have to rule on the state's standing in the case but I don't think the per will walk.

I think the perp is one leg up on the prosecution. He'll walk for sure. But going toe-to-toe with the DA won't go over well with the judge, who'll throw a large achilles heel into the whole case.

The jury will stand on a guilty verdict, however.

The person who left it there won't have to stand trial and if he does he will win it in a walk.

You sure that isn't just a knee-jerk reaction to all this?   :-)
