First of all, the ‘fire in a crowded theater’ rule was overturned some time ago. But even if it still existed, the rule existed to prevent a needless panic that could endanger lives in rush to the exits. Such is not the case here. The statement posed no danger to anyone other than the person who said it, provided he was found out.
The county prosecutor has no business jumping on this bandwagon. That is an insult to all the victims of real crime in the state. That headline grabbing political hack needs to be fired and possibly disbarred.
Just shows you how long I have been out of school. I was going by something I learn in a law course I jumped on back in the day, just to fill a requirement. I would love for you to site case precedent for me so I might investigate further. Thanks in advance. ;-)
