In an interview from his temporary Dooly County Headquarters, DA Kelly Burke conceded that he had inadvertently banished himself from Houston County. "It's embarrassing, but even though we are the most technologically advanced DA's office in the Milky Way Galaxy, mistakes sometimes happen." According to Burke, his name was mistakenly transposed with a defendant's name in a banishment order submitted to the court. He hopes to have his banishment lifted and return to his normal office by early next week. It may take longer however, because Burke also signed an agreement with himself agreeing not to seek any post conviction remedies in this case. As of press time, Burke had not decided whether to enforce his agreement with himself.
