Pennsylvania Retailer Guilty Of Forgery

This wire story follows up on another retailer-in-legal-trouble incident that came up several months ago. This one kind of faded from sight placed squarely between the two horrific murder trials of former retailer Ronald Castree and the (expected to be appealed) conviction of prominent retailer and convention organizer Michael George. In this case, the devil is in the details, as George Newton Hampton Jr. was convicted on one of the charges facing him: taking a $17 check and manipulating it in some way so as to buy a great number of comics, purchasing some other material, and even paying some rent. It's tempting to want to make this a retailer in trouble/sign of the times story, but since Hampton had only been in operation for about a year, it's not likely to be that.
