This poor kid is being held effectively without bond in an attempt to leverage a plea. I have had two of these BS cases and I have a few friends who have defended some as well. All have been dismissed. Think maybe they are abusing this statute? I have not even seen one of these that should have been accepted at intake much less move forward to an indictment.

But whom do they sue? The district attorney has absolute immunity for prosecuting a criminal charge, no matter how frivolous, idiotic, grandstanding, or petty it is. Don't like that? Me neither, and this case is why. Talk to SCOTUS.

The law clearly is being abused here just as it was in the case of a Houston-area teenager who the DA eventually decided didn't make a credible threat after all. The authorities in both cases are just seeking headlines and should be sued.<br /><br />http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Charges-dropped-against-man-accused-of-plotting-4573194.phpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-7670036075946748752013-06-28T16:11:57.374-05:002013-06-28T16:11:57.374-05:00Bond for Carter was set at $500,000.
