Welcome to West Virginia, where a corrupt judicial system has grown a tangle of judicial malfeasance as dense as a prized rhododendron. Mark Hallburn, a local investigative journalist, has been subject to retaliation for pruning back the overgrowth. He’s had custody of his son Matthew stripped away, and now he’s taking the case as high as it can go. [Photo: Mark Hallburn]
