Circumcision tips court off to fraud

NEW ORLEANS — A federal court in Louisiana rules that four prison guards may face sanctions and punitive damages because they “lost” video scans that supposedly justified fruitlessly searching an inmate suspected of inserting contraband in his rectum for four days. The scans they produced were not of the inmate, which the court could tell because there are major differences in build and “other areas (circumcision versus uncircumcised), as well as clothing” between the scans and the man in question.
