Chemist Jailed In Russia For Giving Expert Opinion In Court 232
scibri writes "Think the imprisonment of Pussy Riot is a miscarriage of justice? Check out the story of their cellmate: Chemist Olga Nikolaevna Zelenina heads a laboratory at the Penza Agricultural Institute. She is an expert in the biology of hemp and poppy, and is a sought-after expert in legal cases involving narcotics produced from these plants. Last year, she was asked by defense lawyers to give her opinion in a case involving imported poppy seeds. The prosecutors didn't like her evidence though, and now she's in prison accused of complicity in organized drug trafficking."

It is the law of conservation of happiness: happiness cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred from one person to another. It is not a physical law, but a real Russian law. After all, why do you think Putin is always so cheerful? Shooting tigers, wrestling bears, skydiving, etc.?
