[QUOTE="Dutch Dawg, post: 225121, member: 4843"] Back in the late 70's I worked with a widower who's wife had been murdered 9 years earlier. In the month before the tenth year anniversary of her death the DA in the small county of the small town in which he lived and this all took place decided to charge him with the murder. Something about limitations on other charges related to this case. My co-worker spent, if memory serves me right about 6 months in lock up awaiting trial. Just before trial began his brother-in-law (deceased wife's brother) commited sucide leaving behind a note confessing to the murder. I remember the stigma his reputation took while he was in lock up. Just...what 16 months ago most of us would have thought the Duke LaCrosse players were rapists. Imagine the stigma they've endured from those that don't know them. From other experiences more firsthand I know that applied justice isn't always the truth. Today a 'successful' prosecutor often seems more concerned with building evidence than discovering evidence and believe me there is a difference. Discovering evidence generally doesn't necessitate coercing witnesses to testify under threat of other prosecution. Go ahead and judge Michael Vick because you find the act of dog fighting deplorable and that's justification enough. I'll try to wait until the outcome of the trial and see how many of the charges are judged true. [/QUOTE]
