No Responses to “Harvard Prof Finds Free Shit Expensive”

mmoa.gif” width=”150″ height=”149″ align=”left”>A Harvard economics professor accused of stealing<br />
horse manure from a 98-year-old Rockport farmer received a market lesson<br />
yesterday as charges against him were dismissed but restitution was set<br />
at an amount he once deemed ”artificially inflated."</p>
<p> Martin Weitzman, 63, agreed to pay $600 to Charlie Lane for one truckload<br />
of manure Weitzman took from the farmer on April 1. The going rate for<br />
a truckload of manure is about $20.</p>
<p> The professor was charged with larceny, trespassing, and destruction of<br />
property in a case that drew international attention. The case in Gloucester<br />
District Court was put off as Weitzman insisted on either a trial or a<br />
settlement that did not call for him to admit guilt. The settlement also<br />
requires Weitzman to pay $300 to the Rockport Boy Scouts, instead of performing<br />
community service.</p>
