“Although his office filed felony cases against at least 38 people for alleged misconduct that either took place during last month’s protests or near the sites of immigration raids, many have been dismissed or reduced to misdemeanor charges,” the paper writes. “In total, he has secured only seven indictments, which usually need to be obtained no later than 21 days after the filing of a criminal complaint. Three other cases have been resolved via plea deal.”
It is incredibly rare for prosecutors to fail to secure indictments from grand juries, which only require a determination that there is “probable cause” to believe a suspect committed a crime and which do not hear arguments from opposing counsels during proceedings.
Imagine your day or week being ruined by jury duty only to find out that you got selected for this horseshit case that shouldn’t have been filed in the first place
I would love the opportunity to protect an innocent person from fascist tyranny by performing my civic duty to serve on a jury.
I hear ya and I don’t disagree. Since that’s the case they were given, I applaud them for every single refused indictment. What I’m upset about is that the courts are being tied up by such trumped-up charges and the jurors having their time wasted over such an incredibly stupid attempt at authoritarianism.
Which, I guess any attempt at tyranny is an act of tyranny.
I’m glad they’re getting any sort of due process at all at this point!
Sad reality, 7 martyrs are being persecuted by the pedo regime
We can do better!
