Navarro rebuked federal prosecutors — using the words “flagrant” and “reckless” to describe how they withheld evidence from the defense — before saying “that the universal sense of justice has been violated” and dismissing the charges.

We had a thread on the old site about this topic and my memory of it is a bit hazy, but I seem to recall that the charges being brought accused the Bundy's of provoking/escalating things and they were claiming that they were reacting to govco's marshalling of snipers and cameras (or something to that effect).  The fact that govco actually did deploy snipers and cameras (first) was kind of a pivotal/essential fact.

People love to idolize and idealize federal law enforcement.  Often these are the same people that bemoan local cops.  They are more similar than they are different.

It would be nice to see the hundreds of thousands of people of color who have been equally victimized by prosecutors similarly benefit. Unfortunately they'll just get told by judges that the error was harmless and to kindly go fuck themselves.

I am not that familiar with this case, and the linked article was terrible in laying out the basic facts and legal questions.

I see you Mizzou.  

is there a reason @bernorange is reposting a year old story?  i'm certain this was discussed at the time over on kevin's scat emporium.

Oh shit.  I thought the story I linked in the OP was just published (ie. new news).  Sorry about that.
