I work with the brother of Ignatow's victum. It is all he can do to muster the strength to follow this scum bag through all the trials. He was realsed from federal prison about a year ago. He had been sentenced for lying to the FBI and is now facing purgory charges on the local level in Kentucky. Once he was found to be not guility of the murder he could not be charged with any other offense directly related to the actual death. The constitution is sure a funny animal in this case. The orginal trial was a real farce. The jury went out for deliberations a few days before Christmas and the judge told them they would be kept sequestered through Christmas if they did not come to a verdict. I could go on and on, but I am slightly prejudiced against this scum ball so won't.

I remember watching this story on American Justice also. Ignatow is an animal. Everybody knew he was guilty. It's times like this that the law is such an ass.!

Couldn't he be tried for another, related crime? Like rape, 2nd degree murder, manslaughter or aggravated assault?

No. The prosecutor is required to try all offenses and counts arising from the same set of transactional facts at one time. He is not allowed to prosecute in a piecemeal fashion. Other charges, such as aggravated assault, are treated as subsumed within the greater charged offense of murder. If he's acquitted of murder he is also acquitted of lesser subsumed offenses. He was apparently acquitted straight up in this case.

Now if the feds were creative (e.g., Rodney King) and could figure out a way to charge this as civil rights case, it would be live again. That won't happen. There is nothing here to interest them.

Most jailbird sociopaths, the hard core murderers etc, have been show in studies to overwhelmingly register democrat, if given the opportunity.

That makes sense. The leftists treat them soft, give them more rights than their victims, give them endless chances to reform, reward them if they can fake any sign of progress toward reforming, and work hard to disarm the criminals' future victims. The leftists are just as criminal as the muggers and murderers that they stick up for.

Good info. Thanks.

Maybe is time to do away with the jury system. I'd like to see a judge get so incensed in a capital trial that the judge sentences the perp to death, and then shoots him.

Later, Ignatow admitted that he'd sexually abused and killed her.

Beware of falling anvils from the sky, Mr. Ignatow.

Yep, sounds like the prosecution blew the murder case - Nothing like a good-'ole murderer set go because of incompetence....

We need Judge Dredd!!!!

Nine years for perjury??? I thought it was "no big deal". "Everybody does it." "Blah blah blah." (Just a few quotes from The American Propaganda Machine, a.k.a. The Mainstream Press.)

[flushed with pride]

If memory serves, he had a female accomplice in that murder who made a deal with the prosecutor in exchange for her testimony. The photos and/or videotape were not enough to connect him to the actual murder; the defense argued that they only proved that a kinky sexual relationship existed with the victim that may have been consentual. You can be sure that she did NOT consent to being murdered. I believe that the prosecutors, as well as the jurors, botched the case.
