The police/prosecution have made all sorts of wild statements about what was going on there, but when it counted- in court in front of a judge they did not bring charges on the most serious of those claims. That is the reason the 1st judge did what she did on the bail and why this judge dismissed. Judges have to deal with what is filed, not what is claimed in news articles. For some strange reason the police/prosecutor did not back up their claims in court.
This has not made sense from the beginning, no matter how you look at it. There is a mystery here, and as far as I am concerned the police have some explaining to do. They left many things that should have been considered evidence behind after their investigation. They released the compound within just a few days and a reporter went in there and found all sorts of things that should have been taken from a crime scene. Then the compound was partially destroyed by bulldozing, and I have not seen a good source that explains who bulldozed it and what authority ordered/allowed it to happen.
Absolutely.
A whole host of strange legal actions have raised up a cloud of questions around this case.
Seems like the law enforcement sector has messed up the crime scene, downplayed the possible murder of a child, and treated the virulence of the terrorist school-shooting training like an odd case of criminal mischief.
The legal defense team were filmed back-slapping and otherwise celebrating the dismissal and release of three terrorist by Judge Emilio Chavez because of the "ten day rule"--a ruling criminally ignored by the prosecution through either ignorance or actual complicity in springing these felons.
And finally the judicial segment was totally bungled by the judges Chavez and McElroy by standing silently by as the 10 days ticked off--without so much as a note to the prosecutors warning them that they were risking release of dangerous people back into the community if they allowed the time to elapse.
This whole legal circus needs close scrutiny by a good investigative journalist.
