“Cosmetic Justice” or “Making Up Evidence”

A neo-Nazi on trial for murder in Florida is having court-ordered makeup applied to his face each day to cover a large swastika and other offensive tattoos, so as not to prejudice the jury. Said one legal analyst, “If the mascara doesn’t make his eyes pop, the electric chair will.”

As the jury decides whether or not to convict him of hate crimes, they will also ponder, “Maybe he was born with it. Maybe it’s Maybeline.”
