I hope that this helps them and that the US attorney can’t twist this in some way to screw them.
Hey—long time no see! :-)
Iwo Jima surmised that the AUSA’s may present a weak case that lets him walk.
I think that makes sense as then Sutton can say “See—we told you, we needed more evidence.” Hopefully the DEA has some pretty compelling evidence to present that they won’t be able to bury and they really want to put this guy in jail.
I’m wondering now about those conversations in the transcript about Kanof’s “hybrid” immunity and then taking the fifth—all while keeping that info from the jury. Now that he has been indicted, I’m wondering how it all plays against the appeal argument that I thought was pretty compelling. I hope this doesn’t derail the appeal in some way. I remember Bottsford testifying that he had seen all the documents in the file—I sure hope he had enough info on this one so that he is not undermined.
I’m forgetting the details to try to process all the information, LOL.
Since Sutton tried to impugn Ramos and Compean by blaming them for his inability to prosecute Davilla, the details of this latest indictment will be very interesting to read. Especially if it turns out he knew Davilla could/would be indicted while he was blaming the Agents for messing up that possibility.
