You don't think there is any culpability there? Sure, but you conflated that with something else entirely. As to the specifics on Kennedy, I don't know them nor the law at the time although I'd be shocked if the prosecutor wasn't pressured (or bribed somehow) to drop the case. But my point was that even a guy who near as I can tell was treated fairly (but claims not, see below) in somewhat the same circumstances was is free & clear as of today. Interesting story from today's paper: -------- SOMERVILLE, N.J. -- The prosecutor who tried Jayson Williams for manslaughter more than five years ago could find himself back in court, this time to answer allegations that the former NBA star was the victim of racial bias and prosecutorial misconduct. State Superior Court Judge Edward Coleman on Monday set a late September date for a hearing that will examine an incident in which a senior investigator for the Hunterdon County Prosecutor's Office used a racial slur to describe Williams during an office meeting in 2002. Steven Lember, who prosecuted the 2004 trial in which Williams was convicted on four counts of covering up the fatal shooting of hired driver Costas Christofi, is expected to be subpoenaed to testify at the hearing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
