Wed Afternoon Roundup

George Knapp over at Las Vegas City Life has a story discussing how the Nevada media has dragged Nevada Supreme Court Justice Nancy Saitta's name through the mud by printing a story provided by a con man that the Justice was bribed by a Nevada prisoner. It's a pretty great story on the media's laziness has led to the smearing of a Supreme Court Justice on baseless charges. (Las Vegas City Life) [I know, it's unusual for a tabloid blog to celebrate good investigatory journalism, but right now, Knapp is publishing the best writing around about the Vegas legal industry. Kudos, Mr. Knapp.]
