Heard some lawyer on a radio show say that because Judge Rolls was not acting in his official capacity when he was killed, his murder does not qualify as a federal case.
How can anybody decide without a timely investigation, that Judge Roll was there as a private citizen! That just stinks!
Judge Roll was a Federal Judge known to be urset with the Illegal Immigrant problem in Arizona and the cases he was being forced to deal with! and his associates have stated he went specifically to visit that day to call attention to those problems to the Congressman Gifford in an official setting!
Judge Roll could call or see her privately most anytime for personal interaction of a private nature. Holder is full of Sheet! If Judge Roll was a Demorat Judge, Holder would have the pervert on Death Row by now.....But we now know who Holder really is... don’t we, a political Hack....
That's a very good point, Churchillspirit -- and I think it goes beyond that.
I'm not a lawyer, but maybe I should be. When the story about the Federal charges against Loughner was announced and the FBI got involved, I speculated at the time that any Federal charges related to the murder of Judge Roll probably wouldn't stand up to legal scrutiny. Not only was he not acting in his Federal capacity when he was murdered . . . but the Federal prosecutor would have a very hard time proving that Loughner even knew who Roll was -- and what his Federal position was -- at the time of the murder.
I would assume that the same holds true for Gabe Zimmerman, too.
