Written laws are like spiders' webs, and will, like them, only entangle and hold the poor and weak, while the rich and powerful easily break through them
-- Anacharsis - (Scythian philosopher - 600 B.C.)

Solon used to say... that laws were like cobwebs -- for if any trifling or powerless thing fell into them, they held it fast; while if it were something weightier, it broke through them and was off.
-- Diogenes Laertius - (Biographer of Greek philosophers - 200 A.D.)

Police Betrayed

Five years ago, the wiretapping of GBI Agent Vickey Horton Tapley was shrugged off in Vidalia as a random case of small-town politics. But a Morning News investigation raises questions about whether the eavesdropping was part of a plan to cover up possible drug use by a city official and a suspicious death that some fear was murder. This series is a result of interviews, reviews of federal court documents and records obtained under Georgia's Open Records law.
