I practice mostly federal criminal defense, in the 8th Circuit, and it’s absolutely the toughest Circuit to have any success at all on a criminal appeal, even with a very good argument. We always joke that we are waiting for a holding that says “although the video clearly showed that the arresting officers planted the evidence leading to the Defendant’s conviction, we don’t find that the Defendant was unduly prejudiced. Conviction AFFIRMED.” 😂😂😂

If what this report states is true, and what you state is also true it appears that True Justice Under Law in our country is dead. It does not exist.
So, I must ask did True Justice ever actually exist in our country? I have a feeling that it never did.
That Politics and Corruption has always been involved in every Legal decision.
If true, this is a very sad statement for our country and a Black Mark on the ideal of A Shining Example of Freedom and Justice we supposedly are to the world.
The Founding Fathers stated that the Constitutional Republic they created for us would only succeed if governed by a Good and Moral People. Seems to me we are anything but.
