Reply #99: Sit down--I'm about to agree with you.

Believe me, I know from a family experience that prosecutors make stuff up.

In the family case--they had my family members car--but said family member was driving my sister's car that day, not his own. They had no evidence of the car he was driving (the dimwit police diodn't even take a picture), so they searched said family member's registration. His car was in the shop and we presented evidence to that effect to no avail.

He was convicted anyway. Later, he got a call from a jury member asking forgiveness--he felt pressured to vote guilty even though said family member's case should have been thrown out.

OTOH, I have a friend I took to a rape crisis center. I knew the alleged attacker and he got off on a technicality.

I got no love for either side of the judicial "equation."

That being said, I'm reserving my judgment until I hear what the DA has to say about the DNA.
