How do you charge a private individual with violating someone's constitutional rights? That charge usually only applies to employees or agents of the government (as in the Rodney King case).
All one holdout would accomplish is a hung jury. Do you really think the state would re-file the charges after this fiasco?
How do you charge a private individual with violating someone’s constitutional rights?...Get real. The Fed’s did it in Hazleton, Pa. The defendants were found not guilty of murdering an illegal alien, so the Feds prosecuted them with rights violations. Life in prison. About four years ago.
No — they wouldn’t but they would try to use the threat of such to negotiate a plea deal. Then by dropping charges they appear noble and magnanimous and save face.
A hung jury can serve the state as much as a conviction.
The only way GZ wins is with a full acquittal.
It was a joke, my FRiend.
Heck, I live here in the midwest and I agree, there is a huge population of illegals. HECK, my city is on the SUPERHIGHWAY direct from MEXICO.
Many of the illegals are more ‘american’ than those in our elected offices, so... the problems are the same everywhere.
