For years, Judge Larry Potter, recently retired, was the last word in code enforcement. As the man who started Shelby County's Environmental Court decades ago, his gavel ruled on all that is aesthetic -- from overgrown lawns to rat infestations. This week on WKNO-TV's Behind the Headlines, Judge Potter discusses the court's role with host Eric Barnes and Memphis Daily News reporter Bill Dries.
