As he marched up and down a busy road wearing a placard proclaiming "I AM A LIAR," Craig Breuwet endured a painfully public punishment for lying to police.
quote:Breuwet was required to publicly display the "I AM A LIAR" sign for 10 hours under a pretrial diversion arrangement that allows dismissal of charges of making a false report of a crime and making false statements to police, Houston County District Attorney Kelly Burke said. Burke added that he may also expunge any record of those charges.
Burke said reporting a bogus abduction to police is a serious crime - too serious for a slap on the wrist in court where the public might never have known the initial report was false.
Doesn't one pretty much cancel out the other?

But if he is wearing that sign, doesn't that mean that he is telling the truth, which means that he is not a liar, which means that he is lying, which means that he is telling the truth etc?
