4. "Doctor Massie, we've heard several of your colleagues and peers describe your genius and your dedication to the field of entomology. And I have no doubt that you had the best of intentions. But releasing your experimental insects, after the city had already rejected your proposal, was foolish and reckless. A woman of your intelligence and standing in the academic community should have known better. Therefore I have no choice but to issue a custodial sentence." -- Judge Alan Kipps, ruling in 'The People v. Margaret Massie'
