Wharfie, what's even sadder is that the defendant in this case, Sydney Reid, was represented by a public defender. Yet Cabernet Pirro couldn't even get a misdemeanor conviction on this lady. This proves that the prosecutors are utter failures. Get this. The prosecution accused Sydney Reid of simple assault based on the following: Evidence issues plague prosecutors in trial of DC woman accused of assaulting FBI agent (WUSA9) The trial centers around an incident back in July, when Reid allegedly filmed FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents outside D.C. Jail waiting to arrest two people about to be released. An ICE agent named Vincent Liang, and later Bates, tried to restrain her and pushed her against a wall. Prosecutors argue a jerking movement Reid made with her knee near Bates’ groin during that struggle constitutes simple assault, though no contact was made. Did you see that? They initiated a struggle with physical contact, then claimed that the defendant tried to knee the ICE thug in the groin even though there was no contact. Again, the federal agents initiated contact. There's no telling what the target of restraint is going to do, especially if the moves made by the restrainers are sudden and violent. If a knee happens to come too close to the groin of the restrainer, that's a completely reasonable reaction based on the totality of the circumstances. But no. Cabernet Pirro, under orders to make an example out of this defendant, tried three times to indict her on federal charges, before settling for a misdemeanor. And even then, she couldn't even secure a conviction. What losers. Cabernet Pirro, the ICE thug (who probably has too small of a groin to knee), and that FBI agent who testified against the defendant but clearly had problems with credibility. They all had to pick on a common citizen who couldn't afford counsel, only to lose in an embarrassing way. Tenchusatsu
