Per WCVB TV-Boston (www.thebostonchannel.com), a judge in Iowa temporarily released Red Sox fan, Randy Barker of Keosauqua, Iowa from jail to attend a Red Sox game with his father. Barker was serving a 10-day jail sentence for interference with official acts and violation of a protective order (I do not like the sound of this last one but that's just me, I guess).
Barker's father, Norman said that they had been planning this trip to the ballpark for 3 months. Magistrate Judge Benny Waggoner said the request was "reasonable under the circumstances" and granted the request to attend the game. Barker left the jail at 1 p.m. in a Red Sox jersey and hat.

(wondering how things work in Iowa)
(if I am going to commit a crime anywhere...)
What the mother!........ok let's start over.
First off, I offer no comment on Mr. Barker's appearance. None. It is tempting but in my book you simply do not judge someone solely on their appearance no matter how....ok forget it. "No comment."
How is this "reasonable"? Doesn't 10 days in jail means 10 CONSECUTIVE days?
Just about everybody in jail has a favorite team you know and those few that don't sure do now! What about Joey in the next cell who wears the Yankee hat? They got the playoffs coming up, you know. Gotta be fair.
What is with this Judge Waggoner anyway? Should his coffee cup should be tested for lead? This is absurd.
Does he even have a law license? Someone should check the file and/or make him produce it (no photocopies either). Maybe you would get lucky here.
Is this guy an elected official?
If so, Iowa voters, do I need to tell you what to do?
At least take away his assigned parking spot or something.
