It’s only a temporary victory. Revised charges are pending.
1. It that even a law that could be broken?
2. If the 'no expectation of privacy' argument can be made, then why does this charge stand when the others were vacated?
and in a San Freakinciso court..... #ReallyWinning !!
It was just lawfare on the massive scale of actually being initiated by the government itself. How many tens of thousands are the plaintiffs now in debt for having to defend themselves?
They DEFINITELY should come back at this dirtball.
I’ve no end of scorn for do-gooder legal orgs who will work like this to get charges dropped, then just walk away like nothing happened; like there was no trauma, no disruption of life, or exorbitant expense for the victims.
Getting bogus charges dropped is on thing, but if you just stop there, all you’ve done is send a loud-and-clear message
that these pernicious orgs and their legal hacks can go pick a different target tomorrow and try again.
No!
These wrongly-charged people and their legal team now need to come back with criminal charges of their own on whatever bases exist, AND a Civil case noting the egregious nature of the prosecution and seeking damages in at least the mid-seven-figure ballpark; higher if the offending parties are part of a much larger organization.
Given the connections enjoyed by the prosecution in this case, I’d think seeking damages of $10M for EACH victim is pretty reasonable.
God’s work.
Thank you for pointing that out.
Amen.
Praise be to God for this small measure of justice.
Q: Why aren’t prosecutors held criminally liable when they pursue criminal charges for political reasons?
A: Because the populace is too stupid to MAKE it happen and the elected/connected have gamed the ‘law’ in their favor.
Not one shred of news on this, anywhere.
Don’t let your heart be troubled. Becerra will be deported to hell with the rest of his amigos.
This.

It is amazing what prosecutors are capable of getting away with.
It was not always so.
