“No argument there because in his case she was in an area with sensible law enforcement. I was guilty of thinking in terms of prosecutors who would rasher get a conviction than seek justice.”
And the problem is... things are changing so fast in this country now... and not for the better... that you never know if or when your area is going to be “fundamentally transformed”. I’m seeing things here in Texas that I never thought I’d see. The last bastions are under major attack.
Correct.
I almost added...state, county, town...and the written law is not as important as how the local prosecutor interprets it.
The reason e have so many lawyers is that so many people read the same text and swear that it means something that others do not see.
So how the locals interpret the law is a big deal.
You can’t know all of that in every jurisdiction you pass through, but you certainly better know for the area in which you live and work, as that is where you are the most likely to be attacked.
