Re: Rick Perry (and others) felony charges

Maybe I should use different terms:

Guilty
Not Guilty
The DA must pay the defenses legal bill out of the DA budget.

Re: Rick Perry (and others) felony charges

Yes
That was the point
There should be some verdict available to the jury (or judge) that the DA should have to pay for the defense out of his budget.

Re: Rick Perry (and others) felony charges

Innocent means that you did not commit the crime.
Not Guilty means that there was not enough evidence to determine that you did commit the crime.
There is a big difference between the two. In the US, we find defendants not guilty; this means that there wasn't enough evidence to detemine, beyond a reasonable doubt, that you did infact commit the crime. It doesn't mean your innocent (you still may very well have done it) it just means that your guilt couldn't be proven.

Re: Rick Perry (and others) felony charges

According to a story on FOX News, he spent more than $2 million for his defense lawyers.
Sorry. I miss read.

I would like to see DAs who file bogus and malicious charges disbarred, indicted, tried, convicted and jailed.
I am ok with this but where would you stop?
What do you do with the 1st judge that didn't throw out the case?

Re: Rick Perry (and others) felony charges

Today's article about the Perry charges indicated that he spent around $1,000,000 fighting the charges.

My point is that the DA that brought the charges should pay the bill.

Rick Perry (and others) felony charges

Rick Perry is not the first person to spend a fortune defending against bogus charges.

It's not exactly gun related but I'd like to see three possible verdicts:

Guilty
Not Guilty
Innocent

If you are found Innocent, the District Attorney pays your defense bill.
