Reply #160: A grand jury only sees what the prosecutor puts before them. [View All]

If the prosecutor decides not to present alibi evidence (which he refused to accept from the defense) then the Grand Jury will not see it. It will only be seeing the prosecutor's side of the case. And the minimal standards are exactly that -- minimal. With a court docket that is crowded enough that trials are backed up for a year, you'd think prosecutors would be exercising their judgement and putting forward only cases that are likely to overcome the hurdle of reasonable doubt.

I am "worked up about the case" for the reasons I stated. I am worried about a government that is getting more and more oppressive and totalitarian, and I think that if we continue along this path, all of our rights will be in jeopardy. Many of us don't like the defendants in this case. They seem snotty and spoiled and entitled. But if we look the other way when they are facing a politically-related prosecution -- that's my opinion, but I can't see any other reason for it -- then we are all traveling down a dangerous road.
