What's this?

When the prosecutors who make the decision to prosecute have a financial

incentive to do, at a minimum, there is an appearance of impropriety. Many cases are thrown out when there is an appearance of impropriety, even in cases where the defendants are guilty (think police misconduct).

You don't see where she or her "man" would have an incentive to run with -- Hoodafan 02/15/2024 5:36PM

If she was inclined to create false charges, she doesn’t need her man. -- Plano Hoo 02/15/2024 5:46PM

She can't get paid any more on her own but benefits if he's being paid too. ** -- Sabremetrician 02/15/2024 6:05PM

Sure, but That’s a different issue than cooking up charges ** -- Plano Hoo 02/15/2024 6:07PM

Her testimony pretty much displays her incompetence -- TomKazanski 02/15/2024 4:55PM

Your perception of her competence is irrelevant to the disqualification -- Plano Hoo 02/15/2024 5:06PM

Yeah, but some of these people are really desperate ** -- 111Balz 02/15/2024 5:42PM

She probably scares the hell out of people like you. ** -- hooshouse 02/15/2024 4:47PM

She would scare that out of any normal person -- TomKazanski 02/15/2024 4:56PM

Of course, she should be held to a higher standard than those hacks -- Shenhoo 02/15/2024 5:40PM

Agree, the point is the people that TK thinks are crazy ** -- 81_Hokie 02/15/2024 5:45PM

TK is pretty much trash can juice as a person. -- Shenhoo 02/15/2024 6:13PM

She’s had to uproot her entire life, she’s had countless death threats, -- hooshouse 02/15/2024 4:57PM

That’s generally what happens when you abuse the law -- TomKazanski 02/15/2024 5:13PM

Careful. If you can’t trust liars, you need to apply that standard -- Plano Hoo 02/15/2024 5:20PM

Some people have actions you can go by instead of words -- TomKazanski 02/15/2024 5:45PM
