Re: Offended Muslim chokes atheist: Where's the outrage from the Left?
Without any witnesses, it becomes a liar's game. The prosecution had no evidence. The judge should have just dismissed the case without the lecture. I've been lectured to before from the bench. It's not part of the case. The judge will wait until the case is officially over before he/she makes you listen to the lecture. You can walk out while the judge is still talking to you and you won't be cited for contempt, but I doubt anyone ever does.
At this point, the lecture is not grounds to dismiss the judge. It's just some friendly advice.
People saw it happen. Then they went home. If you need a witness, it's usually a good idea to get one before they all go home.I'm wondering how it could be that nobody at a parade would have seen what transpired?
