You gotta understand something:
Angela Corey and her merry band of prosecutors were dead serious about the “child abuse” charge and so was Judge Nelson.
The prosecutors had an entire dossier of cases to back up that charge that must have taken months of research.
It was all but a done deal with Judge Nelson.
Then Nelson took a recess and when she came back she was of a different mindset and the state was none too happy with her change of mind.
Somebody shook her tree in chambers and one can only guess who that was.
Good point. Oh to have been a fly on the wall in chambers to hear whatever transpired! But...no...wait...not a fly...I would have been wiped out by the Gila Monster!
