#1 Van der Graaf's lawyers argued that the sentence took insufficient account of his pre-trial detention conditions and of negative comments by politicians before the case came to trial.

"Them nasty politicans were calling me names! I deserve to be sprung!"

#2 No one in the US remembers this incident. It did't happen, in a media sense... the potential was all there, but the details were all mixed up.

Right-wing gay populist politician gunned down by animal-lover? How to explain? Paradigmatic implosion.

Couldn't, didn't happen.

We regret the error.

Errr, we return you to your previously scheduled program...Uranium tubes... all about oil... quagmire... the children.

One of the juicest stories of the decade just unhappened.
