Is this the opening of (a) a judgment in Ontario's Court of Appeal or (b) an Elmore Leonard novel:



Answers on a bullet. Wait. Don't. It's (a). Judge David Watts was considering an appeal by an alleged murdering drug dealer. Not everyone deserves a second chance. Not everyone gets one. The streets are cruel. But this guy got his. Watts allowed the appeal. Don't call him a guardian angel. He was doing his job.
