DELAY

From NRO today, read it. The most powerful person in the courtroom in a criminal case is the prosecutor, particularly in state court, for the simple reason it is the prosecutor who decides whether to bring charges, and what charges to bring. Ronnie Earle's pursuit of Delay is riddled with abuse of prosecutorial discretion and responsiblity ranging from bringing a movie crew into the grand jury room, to sloppily charging as criminal conduct in the first indictment actions that were not even a crime at the time they occurred, to bypassing one grand jury which refused to indict Delay to another that would. Can you imagine the MSM's reaction if these actions had been taken by a Republican D.A. against Nancy Pelosi?
