“ According to Neal Boortz “. Please, I listened to his podcast and his legal analysis is laughable. He has never handled the criminal case in his life as an attorney.

I will defer to your vast experience in laughable legal analysis.

“Does that mean that Washington does not trust the states to administer justice?”

In some cases it does, but not in this case.

What's happening is the Georgia Attorney General - and perhaps the Governor - recognizes they have a hot political potato in their lap. They have arrests and charges that will satisfy the mob just so long. And if the state loses the case before a jury then very powerful forces will be released against the state.

It is the state that is seeking federal intervention so any not guilty verdict can be blamed on somebody else. Or better yet, the feds can conduct a second trial in a larger federal jurisdiction.

Plus, the FBI can still be expected to reliably carry water for the blue-state culture.

I do have a question for you.

Can the defense access and use in court juvenile arrest records of the deceased, if there are any, in the promised upcoming trial?

Juvenile records can be accessed in most homicide cases, if the defendant can show relevance. In this case, the state of mind of the deceased is at issue. His juvenile records may show mental health issues that explain his violent run at the guy with the shotgun. Additionally, if there were prior instances of him running from or attacking law enforcers. The case where he brought a handgun to a basketball game, ran from the cops, etc. will likely be admissible at trial. This occurred when he was 19. Juvenile records are typically discoverable. The issue is whether the defense can use the dirt in those records.

And NEITHER AG NOR GOVNAH have a background in criminal justice or the law. That makes a difference in those who bandwagon on with racehustlers

Three prosecutors have already refused to take the case.

Given the facts, it is very hard to see how a jury would convict.

Way too much reasonable doubt of guilt.

The one who has it now might be relatively immune from lynching in the Media. She is a black Republican.
