SCOTUS has decided that selective prosecution in criminal cases is unconstitutional.

I wonder if there’s been any ruling relating to outcomes of civil cases.

Why one person is just a loon and/or an anal sphincter (or a politician just engaging in bombastic hyperbole), but another is guilty of defamation and gets taken to the cleaners.

Note to Sandy Hook parents: I’d have had great respect for you if you’d asked for a buck from Jones and for him to cover your legal fees.

By selective, I assume you mean prosecute one individual and not another. That’s not what I mean.

What I mean is that officers can watch you die and then start the process of prosecution against whom harmed you.

That’s why the reward was so small in Uvalde, likely. The officers could have waited for every kid to shot dead and then enter the building to begin the process of prosecution.
