Rather than just zeroing in on the judge, how about doing that also for the FBI/prosecutor that let the 10 days slip by?
Correct about the Prosecutor, but it wasn't the FBI or USDOJ. Both the Judge and Prosecutor were NEW MEXICO STATE EMPLOYEES, not Federal. Like the Judge or not, it was 100% the fault of the Prosecutor and investigators for failing to prosecute this case. These cases were dismissed without prejudice which means the DA can refile them. Also, the accused were rearrested and are being held without bond pending a hearing that is scheduled for next week. USDOJ, seeing that New Mexico lacks the competence to handle this case, is stepping in. People are flailing around without informing themselves about this case based on much fake news and false assumptions.
