There is no “Better” venue for a child molester. They are despised in all corners. Just take a look at the penalties and post convictions release limits.

Malpractice by attorney at a minimum.

Unbelievable!

I have not done any criminal law in a while, but one wonders whether the advance information might have any exculpatory evidence in it that would have required the DOJ to provide it, gratis and unsolicited, up front?

BTW,

I still miss Eureka Springs!

Change in inevitable. Marcy-gone. Christy-gone. Ian-gone. pacho-gone. Spencer-gone. Yet, T-Bogg and Lisa Derrick remain.

I am sure I will grow to read and enjoy the new guys, like I have grown to like Dayen, but……
Sigh

Well said Phred.

I too have been a long time lurker/stalker of your work. I like your analysis and writing style. I do not always agree with your conclusions but I respect you and your work tremendously. Sad to see you not in the same place. I have to be fully honest. You’re the reason I am here at all. I probably will drop FDL.

Best wishes with your new project.

interesting article. I had a bit of trouble with this line though: “Though note how the file doesn’t say that AZ is not an “admitted operational planner” for al Qaeda?” Did I get that right?

I agree with you and many of your comments. great links in there too.

Why even bother with a silly show trial. No one could possibly refer to this as justice other than in irony. Just release him and let’s move on.

Well said Sir! No wall we need is a method to privately enforce the law, when the DOJ won’t. One would think that the investors on these trusts would be litigating left and right to recover losses, but I suspect most of the pension fund administrators/investors are too embarrassed to admit they put money into them.

I am thinking this whole thing is a bit weird. This one does not pass the smell test. Jones is clearly a provocateur. He and his machine/church are exercising their free speech rights, whether it is intelligent to do so or not. But, to kill UN workers on this basis alone….I am not buying this as the reason for the attack.

“We can confirm there have been casualties, including U.N. personnel, but the situation on the ground remains very confusing,” he said. He added that Staffan de Mistura, the top United Nations official in Afghanistan, was en route to Mazar-i-Sharif.

Tolo TV news in Kabul reported that the head (emphasis not in original) of the United Nations mission in the city was among the victims, but that could not be confirmed.”

What an odd choice of language where beheading has been alleged? I agree it is horrible and completely “unbelievable” response to a known wing nut.

No comments, just shaking my head from side to side.

Honestly,

I am surprised no one has photo shopped Barry into a gitmo era photo as a guard.

Hey all,

I am sure this is just a wacky misunderstanding. Don’t you think that smock has a nice fleece lining that makes it toasty warm and soft as a kitten?

There are many who thought Menachim Begin was an unindicted war criminal.

I would hazard a guess, that there is a view that it will not be prosecuted so all they might be worried about is the admissibility of any statements obtained after the request for counsel. More clearly stated, since they want info more than to put the bad guy away (lawfully) it makes better strategy to continue questioning and not care whether it will be admissible at trial or not. Any lawyer would tell you that the law (FRE) prohibits hearsay evidence. But any trial lawyer would quickly point out that there are so many exceptions to the rule as to render the rule worthless.
The focus is on the fact finding mission and prosecution be damned. Heck, if they want the perp off the grid, they can just “Guantanamo” him and let him rot there till he gets his day in court, if ever.
