LA Times: ‘Amateur hour at the U.S. attorney’s office’: L.A. prosecutors face more losses in protest cases

"...Federal prosecutors in L.A. have lost every assault on a federal officer case they’ve brought to trial against immigration protesters.

A federal judge criticized the U.S. attorney’s office as “amateur hour” after prosecutors failed to disclose evidence during an assault trial...."

'Amateur hour at the U.S. attorney's office': L.A. prosecutors face more losses in protest cases

This week, L.A. federal prosecutors were in two separate trials involving a charge of assault on a federal officer tied to immigration protests. They hadn't won a single assault case that went to trial so far. But this time they had a video of a punch.

Per article:

"...“You would think that, at some point, they might start to realize that history and the public are not on their side, that the will of the people is not on their side,” Nicol said. “But they’re so determined to get convictions on these cases, they don’t stop.”..."

(TLDR: lots of serious case issues, jury's are not sympathetic, jurys appear to be also nullifying cases).

@ai6yr Ooh, jury nullification. Cool. And uncommon. Good to see "We the People" standing up to fascism, twelve at a time, to defend others doing so. 👍
