re: #41 Simply Sarah

Well, it’s always hard to be certain on that. While in an ideal world it wouldn’t be true, political considerations can often play in to the decision on whether or not to bring charges in a case, working in both directions. I mean, look at John Edwards just the other day. The general consensus among legal experts is (And was even before the trial began) that there was really no case there and the government should have never gone forward with it. And if the background of the case and the defendant weren’t what they were, it’s likely prosecutors wouldn’t have. At least, that’s my view.

John Edwards was a well known political figure before he came to trial. And he did not shoot anyone.
