No, I'm going to attack the reporter for this overblown hype. Throwing out one count of a multiple count indictment is no big deal. Especially when the reason for throwing it out is that the same charges are made in the remaining counts.
Hey, you know it's no big deal, I know it's no big deal, but tell me you haven't seen the people on other threads about assorted court cases flying off the handle here...
