Evidence against former astronaut tossed

What I am seeing is solid evidence getting "tossed". Period. Evidence should only be "tossed" if there is a flagrant disregard of Constitutional principles or a possibility that evidence was planted or unreliable in some way. None of that is the case here. In fact it sounds to me like the cop did some pretty good police work. Thanks, Judge. This ruling was a pile of liberal activist penumbra/emanation horse manure.

The fix is in. And possibly the prosecution is in on it.

lets face it.....no harm was actually done....there are convicted child molesters and rapists out on probation by lenient judges...

I think the public gets its jollies over these stupid...although serious...crimes.....

her normal life is over....her space career and her military career...I suspect she will be in major therapy for some time....hope she recovers to realize her mistake....

Along with the victim's testimony - and there may be a court martial - eventually.

She’s stationed in Corpus Christie but pretty much kept incommunicado with the general base population...

I’m still wondering how Ms. Nowak drove from Texas to Florida without stopping for gas, even if she avoided stopping for restrooms. That’s a two-day trip.

Probably had one of those Pogue carburetors the gov’t has been surprising for fifty years. NASA’s part of that huge conspiracy. The real reason this ruling — which amounts to a dismissal of charges — got made was because the defendant threatened to reveal information in her possession regarding NASA’s moon landing hoax. ;’)

Well, I'd say that the victim certainly has a civil case, and should be entitled to receive monetary damages, but as to this being a criminal case, we'll have to see how the evidence plays out. Like I said, under the circumstances, any shyster would give his left gonad to be able to get her off, because there's a substantial chance of doing so. Then the ambulance chaser can sell his services for big bucks once he becomes a minor celebrity.

NASA ROCKET GAL

Packed my guns and knives last night, pre-flight.
Zero hour nine A.M.
And I’ll be flyin’ east on I-10 by then.
I missed my exit - I missed it twice.
It’s lonely on the interstates
On such a long and mindless drive.....

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time,
Till I’m done and I hope that no one finds
I’m not the gal they think I am at home.
Oh no no no - I’m a love crazed rocket gal.
Rocket gal - burning up the long dark road alone.

This ain’t the kind of place you want to sit.
In fact my diaper’s cold as sh.. mud
But there’s no place to change them when they’re full.
And this other woman, I don’t understand.
But she’ll be gone within the week
From this rocket gal - a real crazy rocket gal

And I think it’s gonna be a long long time...

She’s a woman, she’s innocent!!! Like the lady teachers, like the wife who blew away her husband (teacher)’s brains; she was released after about 14 months.

Men can’t get justice in the US and women don’t experience justice in the US.

Absolutely false.

After all if you look at prison populations there are just as many women as men behind bars.

Check the execution statistics, no gender gap either.

Child custody? Equal between dads and moms, as are child support payments and alimony.

You really need to check you facts before making such outrageous statements...

When you get right down to it it was really a crappy caper!
