There is a little more background here.
Basically police found a bag of crack on the ground and decided it was hers. She denied it and there was never any evidence except the officers testimony. The prosecutor on the case moonlighted as a law clerk and was working for the judge in the case as well as prosecuting it.
Judge Don Willett should’ve ruled in the woman’s favor anyway, deliberately ignoring all the unjust precedent and daring the en banc circuit or Supreme Court to overrule him.
I realize that he thinks strongly-wording his dissatisfaction with the ruling he’s “forced” to make is the best he can do, but that itself is part of the problem, too.
If we can have Cannon, we can have what you describe.
I’d love to know more about her original case. Clearly she got railroaded, but what were the circumstances?
Cocaine possession for something other than cocaine?
Cocaine possession while having nothing at all?
Cocaine possession while having cocaine in her duties as a nurse?
What was the whole thing originally about?
