Commentary by Frank Schroth
Of all the places I might imagine I could have been last Monday morning, the Quincy District Court would not have been one of them. The court room is a large windowless box with wooden benches and a harsh light in which people’s faces are either a little too pink or a little too grey. The session, scheduled for 9:00, began around 9:30. The gum chewing bailiff told everyone to rise. They did. The judge took his seat, and the parade of defendants began.
