So your theory is that all the federal conspiracy statutes that apply to the rest of us were written in such a way that they do not apply to attorneys or specifically prosecutors? I suspect if they tried the feds could make a federal case here for conspiring to violate the defendants civil rights. In some ways this comes down to whether the federal government will step in to help citizen being mistreated by a state based on the percentage of the identity groups that person is a member of who vote 'rat. If a GOP DOJ allows that to be the case, why should any of us vote GOP? With a 'rat administration we get the same result. [This is actually the only issue I feel this way about, but it is a serious issue.]

Finally Jezebelle and all, maybe we could give Gonzolas the benefit of the doubt IF THE PENDING TRIAL HE WAS REFERING TO IS SCHEDULE 11 MAY, for defendant Nifong.

If they are convicted, then I would agree, but as of now, none of the rights under Federal law have been violated.

Say, what?

This doesn't surprise me, actually. There is also a pending hearing date in re the Border Guards, February something, but few are willing to even mention that.

The May 11 hearing is with the state bar. What we're talking about is a criminal action against Nifong. All the state bar can do is act within the scope of their authority, which is limited to actions against Nifong's bar license.

[Jezebelle]

No, I think they do apply.
