This is the way prosecutors work on someone that they “want” to get. Make multiple charges, hoping the jury will figure that if they aquit on 90 percent of the charges, and only convict on one, that they will be doing the defendant a favor. One conviction is all that it takes to ruin a persons life, and take all that they had. This is an outrage.
If the name “Randy Weaver” doesn’t ring a bell, look it up. It proves your point perfectly.
“Make multiple charges, hoping the jury will figure that if they aquit on 90 percent of the charges, and only convict on one, that they will be doing the defendant a favor. “
Sadly true, juries figure that they must be guilty of something otherwise why would they be charged with all these crimes? Pathetic I read the blog with all the testimony and you could tell that the cops were lying through their teeth on this and it looks like they were targeted because they had assets that the Feds could seize and the agents would get their little bonus as part of the take. Totally corrupt.
