Powell's POV: Good for the judge. Read a book and shut up, Nick. I'm not sure what to make of the lawsuit, but I don't think I'd piss off the jailers who are responsible for delivering my food and letting me use the telephone. That said, if the sheriff was wrong to release the tapes, then Nick has every right to sue. However, it sounds like it's common practice for the media to have access to jailhouse recordings.
