Dope1: Agian. You're missing the point by assuming that the aim of prosecution is a conviction. That doesn't have to be the end goal.

This argument doesn't get more persuasive with repetition. A Grand Jury would have to be impaneled, hear witnesses, and then at least 12 of them would have to return a True Bill based on sufficient evidence that a crime has been committed and that it was committed by the accused person.

In short, the people making the argument that this is going to happen at all -- let alone become a common occurrence -- either are not attorneys or they're not very good attorneys.
