That this case continues right in front of our eyes is clear evidence that our justice system is broken and that opportunistic DA's are free to run roughshod over American citizens.
Is there no higher authority that can demand this be properly investigated or dropped? I guess I'm naive, but how can this possibly go on in plain daylight with everyone amazed?
That's certainly the case in NC, given that state's criminal procedures, but it is not the case in the majority of states by far. Although rogue DAs occur anywhere, most often they don't get this far with a case in this kind of shape.
