A grand jury declined for a third time to indict a D.C. woman accused of assaulting an FBI agent during an inmate swap with ICE – a rare loss for federal prosecutors that could foreshadow further trouble if the case goes to trial.
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office said in a filing Monday it would move ahead with charging Sidney Lori Reid with a misdemeanor for the alleged assault outside the D.C. Jail in July. A magistrate judge had given prosecutors until Monday afternoon to secure an indictment against Reid or see the felony version of the assault charge dismissed.
A grand jury declining to indict three times on the same case is a warning the evidence may not stand up at trial, according to attorney Christopher Macchiaroli, a partner at Silverman Thompson Slutkin White who previously served as an assistant U.S. attorney in the federal prosecutor’s office in D.C.
I’m in my 40’s. I’m not changing jack shit, and these thugs aren’t going anywhere in the next two decades.
This battle is well and truly lost. I know “hope” is important but take a fucking look out of the window. Evil prevails, everywhere in the world simultaneously. “Good” people are at an automatic disadvantage by virtue of giving a shit about anything other than themselves. The game is rigged and has been for a long time. They’ve just stopped caring about the veneer that was on top of the ugly truth.
Sociopathy is the name of the game, and you can only beat them by playing by their rules.
Like I said, youngster.
