The case of the rural West Virginia eighth-grader who was suspended and arrested in late April after he refused to remove a t-shirt supporting the National Rifle Association just keeps getting weirder.

According to local CBS affiliate WOWK-TV, the student, 14-year-old Jared Marcum, was back at the Logan County Courthouse on Monday for a hearing because prosecutors Christopher White and Sabrina Deskins were seeking an emergency gag order.

Earlier this month, Marcum had been formally charged with obstructing an officer. He was also suspended from school for one day. His crime was refusing a teacher’s request to take off the shirt, which was emblazoned with a hunting rifle and the statement “protect your right.”

Now it's time for the civil suit for false arrest and defamation of character by the school.

Did the prosecutor realize they had already lost in the court of public opinion?

More like there's two courts of public opinion in the Zimmerman case. One's already convicted him. The other has said "This case has no merits."

I know which one I agree with, based on what I know of the case.
