    Exhibits 1 to 5878 indicate that the chances are somewhere between slim and none, and none just left town.

                  Not in the article I cited in the OP. Ms Donegan is a journalist not an advocate.

                    Try reading for comprehension.
                    Donegan is not the person to whom I was referring as an advocate.
                    I was referring to the ADVOCATE from whom Donegan got all her information -- the woman's lawyer.

                    That's exactly what I said --- you have ONE SIDE of the story, presented by a very biased attorney whose only interest is making her client look less culpable.

                    Not even Cow Poke the Infallible.
                    Hit a nerve, did I?

                        Then you should have provided a link to the article that you were referencing.

                        You cannot know that until the "actual facts" are made available. You are offering pure speculative supposition.

                          Where do we get the biggest portion of information about this case?

                          Prescription fraud cases usually happen when a person uses a false identity or forgery to get controlled substances. Emma Roth, an attorney for National Advocates for Pregnant Women representing Blalock, said Lauderdale County officials are using charges of prescription fraud to get around the exemption in the chemical endangerment law.

                          Were the police in real police uniforms including carrying holstered GUNS?
                          Have the NEIGHBORS seen the police around your home?

                          So, yeah, it still seems like this prosecution is overreach, but we're only hearing one very prejudiced side of the story.


                          Lemme repeat....

                            That you consider this is to be "one very prejudiced side of the story" exposes your own prejudice; given that you have [without any evidence] automatically assumed that Ms Roth, an attorney for National Advocates for Pregnant Women, has some sort of underhand plan "to drum up sympathy for her client".

                              Actually, no --- it's very clear that this is a DEFENSE attorney... an ADVOCATE (good that you finally honed in on the correct person)... whose job is to present a case for her client. That's practically the definition of "one sided".

                              given that you have [without any evidence] automatically assumed that Ms Roth, an attorney for National Advocates for Pregnant Women, has some sort of underhand plan "to drum up sympathy for her client".
                              You're really not too swoooft, are you? It's her JOB, as an ADVOCATE, to put her CLIENT in the best light possible.

                              This isn't rocket science. The "other side" (the prosecution) can't comment because it's an ongoing case.


                              Lemme try to dumb this down for you just a bit.

                              In a legal proceeding, we have, in the USofA, an "adversarial system", where there's...

                              A) a prosecution team --- they will present their side to PROSECUTE
                              2) a defense team --- they will present THEIR side to try to DEFEND (are ya seeing a pattern here?)
                              C) and a judge and/or jury who will try to impartially weigh both sides and come up with a verdict.

                              All you have heard is ONE SIDE, and it happens to be the ADVOCATE for the woman whose job it is to keep her from going to jail.

                              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                              • For those interested in fact over hysteria and stupidity, here's a copy of the actual motion to dismiss charges in this case.

                                Note --- despite the loony rantings of those who appear profoundly ignorant of the US legal system, this represents a "one sided" case, as it is the defense's motion to dismiss the other side's (prosecution) case.

                                Been looking for the papers filed in court for the indictment, but as yet haven't found "the other side".
