Of the many complaints this judge leveled, one of them was that the sloppy prosecution didn’t even wait for the FBI to finish it’s investigation before trying to rush a plea agreement.

In the midst of the plea agreement, the FBI found yet more CSAM, that they were unable to charge due to the DOJ’s actions.

I wonder if that was just the defendant’s dumb luck, or if there’s something else going on here.

I’d lean towards the former, but would not be shocked at the latter.

It sounds like people with no real experience and who don’t understand how these things proceed tried to score a quick and easy win, but ruined it in the process.
