When do we toss the virgin into the pit with the giant snake?!

Oh good. Someone recognized where I stole it from.

Ya know, amigo? It's not always clear what the **** you're talking about.

I think they’re talking about sparticus.

 

[jamil]

Interesting take. Could be a constitutional issue.

We were talking about indiana law not the case in missouri.

Police in Indiana didn't disassemble and then reassemble a pistol seized as evidence of a crime, for the purpose of demonstrating that, as-reassembled, the firearm was "readily capable" of being discharged. I'm not sure the actions of the Missouri police lab are in any way applicable to anything that would conceivably happen in Indiana.

Ha.
I just watched that before coming on INGO

This POS prosecutor previously chose selectively not to prosecute looters and rioters (non peaceful protestors) but chose to prosecute a couple exercising their Constitutional right to protect themselves and their property against the mob.

Politics supersedes rule of law here. That's all one needs to know.

So, as it turns out, neither firearm was "readily capable" of firing. The handgun, as discussed, was mechanically disabled with the firing pin and spring inserted backward. Now we learn that the rifle was unloaded.

So, the elements of the crime didn't exist for either of the McCloskeys. The way I see it, either the charging document was deficient, or someone committed perjury.

DAMN! Not a functional firearm between them?

They are both lawyers. There is the possibility, however remote, that they knew the law, and as a result, the non-functional state of the firearms was intended. (Personally, I'm not displaying a firearm that isn't capable of firing. That seems like a good way to get a functional firearm pulled on you, in which case you'd have no recourse.)

There’s just a lot of cringe all the way around in this story. Except for the implications of the right to defend oneself, they all deserve each other.

Krazy.

Missouri attorney general dismissing case against St Louis couple charged with brandishing gun

 

[Cameramonkey]

Good. Now go after Gardner for willfully tampering with evidence on top of this.

This is not news (see date). I do not believe that he has standing to dismiss the case (though I could be wrong). He merely filed an amicus brief arguing for the case to be dismissed.

 

[foszoe]

Yes. the article said he was moving to dismiss. I don't think the state can invervene while its in the city court system.

OK, I think THIS is news:

Attorney for McCloskeys moves to disqualify prosecutor from pursuing case over 'impropriety'

Definitely news. And it seems to confirm that Gardner is... not very smart. Isn't it generally understood that you keep your yap shut about ongoing investigations/prosecutions, in such contexts as political speech?

 

[Alamo]

Oh, and (I saw this the other day but forgot about it until now):
