“The trial transcript quotes Ms. Hayden as saying Murphy called her a snitch bitch ‘hoe.’ A ‘hoe,’ of course, is a tool used for weeding and gardening. We think the court reporter, unfamiliar with rap music (perhaps thankfully so), misunderstood Hayden’s response. We have taken the liberty of changing ‘hoe’ to ‘ho,’ a staple of rap music vernacular as, for example, when Ludacris raps ‘You doin’ ho activities with ho tendencies.'”
- Judge Terence T. Evans, U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, opinion in United States v. Murphy (2005)
And for my friendly law school friends: United States v. Murphy, 406 F.3d 857, 859 (7th Cir. 2005). It's FN1.
If you really wanted it correct for your law school friends, it would have been: United States v. Murphy, 406 F.3d 857, 859 n.1 (7th Cir. 2005).
So there.
