Governor's Son Off The Hook For Pot Possession

The only problem is, they're full of crap.  The first article says a spokesperson said Willson Nixon hid marijuana after it was spotted by cops called to a loud party.  The new update, after saying facts did not support violating a city ordinance beyond a reasonable doubt, goes back in time and reminds us:

At the time, Columbia police said a young man later identified as Nixon tried to hide the marijuana.

At the time?  What changed?  They were pretty darn sure when the first story broke.  Did he try to hide it or not? If he did, he violated more than a city ordinance.  If he didn't, he was in the same apartment as a bunch of people smoking pot.  So uh, when cops are called to a party it isn't a violation of city ordinance to be in a residence with a bunch of pot on the table?

Being Jay Nixon's son didn't help at all.  Now stop asking your pesky questions and get back to it, Citizen.
