Infuriating

Let's get our facts straight. Mark Hulbert, the District Attorney in this case, is the one that dropped the charges. He's a Republican in an arguably conservative state. "Liberal judges"--whoever they may be in your mind--didn't have anything to do with what happened in this case.

I would normally not get involved in a discussion about politics, but, Bike Writer (and oxysback), you should not just brush off the criticism as 'left leaning'. You very lightly blamed the decision of a clearly Republican, conservative, DA on "those liberal judges." So, "those liberal judges" are blamed for everyone's lack of judgement?

The plead offered by Hulbert is a mockery of justice.

One place where our justice system fail miserably is when the accused is well known or have deep pocket. But it does work both ways. Queen of Mean Leona Helmsley would have gotten off with less had she not had her notoriety. And oh the darling Martha Stewart, she went to jail for things male day traders get away with.Then we have Lohan, Paris... as zoom-zoom pointed out and not to forget OJ Simpson.

For what its worth, justice is not money/celebrity blind. Yes the DA should be thrown out of the office for dropping the ball. Judge had nothing to do with the debacle. He is an innocent bystander in this mess. Justice is not served!! Judge has no authority to force the DA to bring charges or to force the DA to drop charges. He can only do so after the DA acts upon the case or non-case.

hmm politically where do I stand?? Well that really isn't for here anyway!!
