   Exactly my point.

   And there is no evidence that Floyd counterfeited anything.  He is   
   accused of passing a counterfeit note -- which could easily have been by   
   accident.  Nothing has come out since to imply otherwise.

   I am not arguing that counterfeiting is harmless, but that is not what   
   Floyd was suspected of.  Passing a counterfeit bill is not a serious   
   offense until it is proven that it was with knowledge of it being   
   counterfeit.
