Criminal Mandolin Players

[Django Fret]

Some also thought that his performance in that movie was criminal...

I can understand that - the kind of instrument that starts playing by itself in the middle of the night.

Well it wasn't the ugglies so much as I kept thinking, as I walked back and forth outside the shop making up mind, I kept thinking that this guy was on death row, so he did something unambiguously heinous. To someone or someone's unknown. So I could not mount an argument for the coolness of the mandolin's provenance in the face or faces of his victim(s). That really got to me. If a society of basically good people thought this guy was unfit to live among them because of his heinous actions, I wasn't going to second guess their decision and honor the mandolin.

Ever heard of the wrongfully convicted? Innocent people have been executed in America's prisons.
