Shocker. Good that at least the jury system still works in Charm City. Way to go Madam Prosecutor.
I read a good piece in the Economist or Atlantic that one of her professor mentors in law school stressed the importance of picking cases to make examples out of where overcharging may occur. It raises public awareness about the issue. I have no idea if that's what she did or not but that's what her mentor said he taught in a class she took with him.
Take it up with BC JHMD.
Can't wait until I turn 35 or so to become cynical, salty, and detached from reality. Live it up boys.
Hopefully you'll learn something by then. In the meantime, you already are pretty good at ad hominem attacks. So you have that going for you.

I mean it seems pretty ridiculous to throw around accusations of overcharging when there was a hung jury....at least one of the jurors was steadfastly convinced he was guilty.
There are plenty of times that people get flat out acquitted where we don't convince the prosecutor of overcharging
Having lived in both Boston and North Carolina I can assuredly say idiots live in both places. It's just player's choice between your redneck, religion-clinging, gun-toting ignorant good ole boy versus your Southie, ridiculous accent, religion-clinging, ignorant bro who loves wearing gold chains.
I am not saying she overcharged because of the mistrial. (Actually, the guy should have been acquitted.) It isn't an overcharge; the case should never have been brought at all. Eventually they are going to file civil claims against these guys, but there isn't any criminality here. But not prosecuting wouldn't have pleased her constituency, to say the least.
