In legal circles, getting a no true bill three times is pretty much a clear sign of prosecutorial misconduct -- never, ever happens. Prosecutors involved in this hat trick should be fired.
Federal prosecutors on Monday reduced the charges against a woman accused last month of assaulting an F.B.I. agent during a protest against immigration officials in Washington, refiling her case as a misdemeanor after they were unable to persuade three grand juries over a month to indict her with a felony.
It is highly unusual for prosecutors to fail even once — let alone three times — to obtain an indictment from a grand jury given the way the process is stacked in favor of the government. And the move by the prosecutors in the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington to recast the proceeding against the woman, Sidney Lori Reid, as a low-level misdemeanor case suggested that they had overcharged it from the beginning."Suggested"? Ya' think?
Well, ya' got the drunk former Fox "News" host running the show, so here we are.
For this, Pirro should be awarded the No Bill prize.
