Reply #161: "Politically related prosecution"?

[MadHound]

Wow, you have jumped in with both feet.

Get this, it is a CRIMINAL PROSECUTION FOR AN AN ALLEGED RAPE! There is nothing political about it. And while your reasoning for why many people are calling for this trial to go forward, "snotty and spoiled and entitled" may apply to a few around here, I think that the majority of people are like myself, we don't give a damn who the defendants are, we just want to see justice served, one way or the other.

And if you are so concerned about the fallibility of Grand Juries, why is this only coming out now, for this case? There are many many other cases throughout history, and currently, that have met the requirement of a Grand Jury and proceeded to trial. Yet the only one I hear you screaming about is *this one*. Or is this simply a new cause that you've taken up recently?

Frankly Grand Juries have been right many more times than they've been wrong, and despite the flaws in our judicial system, over the years it has worked out fairly well. Much better than trying a case in the media and allowing the public to decide. If it turns out that the defendants are aquitted, then they can make the decision to sue the prosecutor and the DA's office. And guess what, then those defendants will get to use that Grand Jury system you so despise to push forward their case.

Whoa, what a jurisprudential concept.
