The Hart boys began to ponder the incredible idea of a homemade secessionist coup, one that would utilize the greediness of the bordering country, Venezuela...
...claimed to be a Howard University alumnus-Simmons tried hundreds of cases, won acquittals for many an accused criminal, and was known for meticulous appeals briefs. He was a touchy sort who once sued the Chicago Transit Authority for $1,000,000 because a bus driver had been rude to him.
