i think you misspelled Persecution

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
In a “media trial”, the only relevant rights are in the first amendment.
But in the Kavanaugh case it is not a criminal prosecution per se. It is a political prosecution.
:: The 6th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution sets out many rights for defendants during a criminal prosecution ::
Problem is, this is NOT a criminal prosecution. Hearsay, innuendo and fact ALL have the same weight.
He has been accused of a criminal offense.
This is not a criminal prosecution.
Kavanaugh denied it, there is no corroborating witness.
The Senate should move on to a vote tomorrow, Thursday.
It’s a PERSECUTION.
At least we don’t yet know if there are other witnesses right now. The lawyer for Dr. Ford stated in a recent interview that there was another girl at the party. My concern is that this woman will surface just hours before the Judiciary vote to further damage the process.
The 6th amendment is not applicable. The nomination process is not a criminal prosecution.

An FBI investigation would ensue only in the case of suspected criminal activity. There are none in this instance. Unless Ford changes her testimony to place the time a year later, in which case the judge could have been 18 and the “attack” could have been criminal. In any case the FBI does not have jurisdiction in such matters. Local authority would have to be involved. The statute of limitations and lack of verifiable evidence renders this accusation all but impossible to pursue. The fact that the accuser has not filed a complaint with any investigative body renders the entire matter moot.
We have a nexus of thought.
In the end, ford will probably “chicken out” rather than face possible future perjury charges...not to mention civil suits from K.
No he has not. The FBI is not interested in doing an investigation on an incident that happened over 36 years ago over an adolescent party where there is no evidence. A she said he said and others present state it did not happen.
What you have here is:
1. Democrat Conspiracy to Smear a Supreme Court Nominee
2. an unprovable TEEN PETTING event
Only #1 deserves the scrutiny of an FBI investigation
So where’s the police report of this criminal accusation? Criminal cases do not go through a Senate committee evaluation of a Supreme Court nomination.
But it is not a "criminal prosecution."
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury... (Amendment VI, COTUS)
Kavanaugh has not been charged with a crime.
The other guy she mentioned categorically denied that it ever took place.
*If* another woman comes forward claiming that she was at the party described in Dr. Ford’s allegation, then I think the general perception would be that the guys are lying.
i think you misspelled Persecution
Ford said there were two boys in the room and she was able to leave. .............Another girl at the party would be nothing but a “hear-say” type of witness, as she didn’t observe anything.
