Originally posted by rogue06 View PostI personally know of a case where the husband was arrested for growing around a half dozen pot plants in the woods behind his house (they owned several acres including a couple in the woods). That he had some pot in the house was undeniable but that he was the one growing those plants was next to impossible to establish. The DA told him that if he didn't confess they would also charge his wife as a co-conspirator and when they both went to prison they were going to place their children in foster care.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

My favorite example:
We had an outstanding warrant for a guy we could never seem to catch at home. From the PD one day, I just called him on the phone.
Poke: Mr Wilson, this is officer Poke at the police department, and I have something I need to discuss with you.
Wilson: Oh, yeah? What's it about?
Poke: Well, it's rather personal, and I'd much rather discuss it in person.
Wilson: Can you give me a clue what it's about?
Poke: Well, like I said, it's personal, and I really can't discuss it over the phone.
About an hour later, Wilson shows up at the PD asking for officer Poke.
I come out,
Poke: "are you [proper name Wilson]?"
Wilson: Yeah, what's this all about.
Poke: Please turn around and put your hands behind your back....
Wilson: EXPLETIVE!!!!!! I KNEW that's what this was!!!!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

I love the title of this article:
"Nevertheless, Sidney Powell persisted"
In an honest universe, Ms. Powell, the courageous attorney who engineered a miraculous defense of Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn that led to the Justice Department withdrawing criminal charges against President Trump's former National Security Adviser, would be hailed as a political and cultural hero. This solitary woman just faced down the epitome of the "old boys network" and emerged victorious.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostSo let me get this straight: the FBI supposedly had the goods on Flynn for serious crimes that potentially compromised national security, and yet they felt the need to falsify evidence and threaten his son in order to coerce him into pleading guilty to a mere process crime?
As the saying goes, that doesn't pass the smell test.
