How does this happen? Whoever was representing the state as prosecutor was not paying attention.

Do I REALLY have to find some of my old posts explaining that this is the way the gruberment lets you know who's boss while flipping you off to your peasant face, too...

Somebody was paid to not pay attention.

Hanging the Prosecutor, the Defense attorney and the Appeals Court members would be a good start. Then let it be known that this scumbag will know terror before death.

Not really. Prosecutors like to leave accused in limbo for as long as possible so they are ready to make a deal. It's standard operating procedure and no one calls them on it. They got caught this time. Not saying that pedo guy doesn't deserve to have his noggin ventilated, but they should put the prosecutor in the clink for 60 days and this nonsense would stop.
