Goodbye Don Lemon

[SnakeBoy]

It's a shame the death penalty is not an option in this case

It's a shame the death penalty is not an option in this case

dude, he's already been released

the court saw no danger posed to the public by releasing Don Lemon, do you?

[Winehole23]

why should a guy get the death penalty for filming protesters in a church, rude and disruptive though that be?

[Winehole23]

Yoni, can you possibly take this on? Snake Boy seems unable to say what he means.

Why does Don Lemon deserve the death penalty?

[Blake]

It's a shame the death penalty is not an option in this case

That's reserved for nurses trying to help people in need

[Winehole23]

I wish that were true, these are only among the first DHS killings of US citizens under Trump

Two judges looked at the same information and said there was no probable cause

No, that's not what they said. As I posted before:

DOJ took it to a grand jury with zero line AUSAs being willing to sign it, only political appointees

Because, apparently (to me, anyway) that was the alternative relief to which the original judges, declining to issue warrants, were referring in their original judgement.

Y'all are gonna lose

That's what courts are for - not internet forums.

No.

He doesn't but, he's getting the due process I think he deserved.

press release by charging do ent is perverted due process

press release by charging do ent is perverted due process

The due process I'm speaking of is allegations presented to a Grand Jury who True Billed them, and upon which an arrest warrant was issued, an arrest was made, an arraignment was (or is to be) had, and a trial (or plea) to determine guilt or innocence. When you say charging do ent, what do you mean? I've probably seen to what you're referring but, frankly, I don't recall. All I remember are Lemon's self-incriminating videos and, now, the declination to issue warrants from the court, followed by the indictment issued by a Grand Jury.

I'm not saying they didn't use a charging do ent in a press release, I just don't recall. If you're speaking of the indictment. Unless it's sealed by the court, it's public record and there's no reason it can't be discussed in a press briefing environment.

[Winehole23]

Was this a violation of the FACE Act and deserving of the death penalty?

Unlike the present example, Pete Hegseth's church is not affiliated

[Yonivore]

Was this a violation of the FACE Act and deserving of the death penalty?

I have no way of knowing (see below) but, for the record, I don't believe violations of the FACE Act are capital offenses.

When I try to play it...

[Blake]

He doesn't but, he's getting the due process I think he deserved.

When will the ICE agents get the due process they deserve for killing people?

[Yonivore]

No .

[ChumpDumper]

No .

You don't care about the law. Trump just pardoned a bunch of people convicted under this one.

St. Paul declines to file charges against Don Lemon

“Our office has a legal and ethical obligation to file charges only when the available evidence establishes probable cause and supports a reasonable likelihood of conviction beyond a reasonable doubt,” Kao wrote. “Following a careful evaluation of the video footage, investigative reports, and other available materials, prosecutors determined that the current evidence is insufficient to meet that standard for criminal charges under Minnesota state statutes.”

charges against Don Lemon were dropped, magistrate judge wants to see the grand jury transcripts for the other defendants in camera

DOJ has been caught dealing improperly with grand juries in other politically motivated cases, were these cases were fabricated by DOJ as well?

DOJ backpedaling has commenced

Lol not even taking the misdemeanor deal. Good for them!

[Winehole23]

career prosecutor bails

[Winehole23]

not sure it's a FACE Act violation, but it appears to violate a court order to leave one particular church alone

[Winehole23]

feds surveilled it anyway

breaking the law on purpose used to be called contumeliousness, it can still be judicially punished
