Trump said it best. Whether it is the unending judicial warfare against him or the shot fired from the kid who miraculously and conveniently was killed before he could be arrested and interrogated, these people are coming for YOU - Trump is just standing in the way.

Not only can and will they, but in my own case -- starting 22 years ago -- already did, nearly costing my life from extreme abusive conditions in Texas jails/prisons in 2000, 2006, again in 2009, and yet again in 2017. Starting with falsified/doctored "evidence," denial of the rights to assistance of counsel or to call witnesses in my defense, up to and including no evidence whatsoever of any crime having taken place, ever; other than by sheriffs who a district judge falsely declared to have "sovereign immunity" from prosecution for their very real crimes against my life, liberty and property!

My take on this is that the prosecutor was under extreme pressure to bring charges against a very public member of the protected class. She had no choice, so she intentionally withheld the evidence until mid-trial so that the judge, who also did not want to nail Baldwin, would have an excuse to dismiss the case. It really is as simple as that and this would be the Occam’s Razor explanation given how liberal Santa Fe and New Mexico are. They worship Alec Baldwin there.

The only problem I have with this is that I think the withholding of evidence was intentional. I think she was probably paid for a mistrial.

Of course Baldwin is guilty of manslaughter. He just was not convicted of it. No intelligent person thinks that a man who freely and intentionally points a gun and kills somebody is innocent of manslaughter.

Baldwin was freed, but not because of innocence. His apologists don't seem to mind.

Don’t like Alec Baldwin and believe he is guilty of involuntary manslaughter. But the judge made the right decision and I am glad of it.

The bad behavior from prosecutors needs to stop!

The rule of law will prevail.
