Please release me? No way
Mohammed Taheri-azar apologizes for running down nine people in the pit at UNC-Chapel Hill last year and for his outburst in a courtroom in March, The News & Observer reports today.
Very good.
In a letter to Orange County Superior Court, he also requests: "Please release me from state custody so that I may pursue my goal of living a productive life in California."
He wants to work for his father's general contracting company.
Well, first, there are some legal technicalities to deal with.
Like nine counts of attempted murder and assault.
It remains to be determined whether the suspect is fit to stand trial. Let's hope he is.
Either way, he probably shouldn't count on beginning that productive life in California anytime soon.
Update, June 14: A judge rules Taheri-azar is competent to stand trial.

Well, gee, I mean...wasn't prosecuting him just religious persecution? After all, he was just a poor Muslim trying to kill Christian Americans...where's the harm in that?
*sarcasm OFF*
Sounds like he's taking a page from the Mayor Marion Barry playbook: Commit a serious crime, then implore the public to forget about it and pretend it never happened.
His plea is ludicrous.

What about Paris saying her "dumb act" is apparently wearing thin.
People say she can't act (or do much of anything else for that matter), but if she was just acting dumb, I think we have another Dame Judi Dench or budding Meryl Streep sitting in the LA Co. jail right now, and we should think about maybe letting her out.

People in trouble will look for any way out.
