Okay, then if you want to go by that theory, there should be no police, no judges, and no juries.

This case did not rest on lies, ginned up or left out evidence. If you are aware of some, just let us know.

I’m sure the judge would like to know even at this late date.

Golly gee, and I thought I could get away with concealing the evidence! Your position that a jury should never be overturned on appeal is, well appalling and rather contrary to the law. I don't have proof one way or the other, as I doubt you do either. But it is a clear, demonstrated and historical fact that some prosecutors and police do in fact lie and withhold evidence and facts. And a your rather simplistic and exaggerated response to my statement is, well.........simplistic.

“This case did not rest on lies, ginned up or left out evidence.”

Oh come on. The excuse they used to upgrade the charges was that the man used a firearm during commission of a felony.

This is a man who was not at the scene of the felony that was committed, and they had no witness stating that he was there, with or without a firearm, or that he was even carrying a firearm at the time the crime was committed. They simply used the fact that he was an active FBI agent, and carried a sidearm as part of his job, to assume that he must have been carrying a firearm at the time.

If you can’t see the chicanery in that line of reasoning, and how it violates the spirit of the felony upgrade statutes, then I don’t know what to tell you.
