Sort of like that case in California.<br /><br />They couldn't use any evidence that they had because of some bull shit technicality even though it was certain that he did it and the smug and obnoxious lawyer demanded that they release him immediately. They also couldn't use his prior record as a juvie because it was sealed. So they had to let him go even though he definitely did it.<br /><br />As they left from the back door of the police station, the grieving father shot him in the head. He only made one mistake.<br /><br />He didn't shoot the lawyer too.Trooper Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978703998566102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-74446270984026732412010-05-05T11:29:25.419-05:002010-05-05T11:29:25.419-05:00"WTF?

As ide benefit is that it allows Holder to play the tough cop and hide his leftist instincts. Anyway, if the Dems lose big this November look for Napolitano to be the first cabinet member to resign in order to spend more time with her family.
