Hughes made the comments after appearing in federal court in Washington
where his lawyer entered a not-guilty plea to the six charges Hughes
now faces....
The charges Hughes now faces include two felonies: operating
as an airman without an airman's certificate and violating aircraft
registration requirements. Those charges carry a maximum of three years in
prison. He also faces three misdemeanor offenses of violating national defense
airspace, each carrying a maximum of one year in prison.
I'd think it's hard to deny guilt, all things considered. But his attorney might know better. And dragging it out a bit might get his message out. Although i think everyone knows already, but have given up on fixing it. Here's a favorite from Leonard Cohen on the subject:
ReplyDeleteEverybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes, everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose, everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me, baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah, give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes and everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes, everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes, everybody knows
And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah, when you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows and everybody knows
And everybody knows that the plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose what everybody knows
And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this sacred heart
Before it blows and everybody knows
And everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes, everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes, oh, everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes, everybody knows
Everybody knows
