Now that George was arrested -I tried reading up about the legality. I’m not a lawyer, but it seems this woman prosecutor and the state have committed a misuse of their powers. If you look at the statues it says a warrant may be issued by peace officers (in other words policemen). No where does it say a prosecutor can issue an arrest warrant. Even the police officer has to be think (probable cause) that a crime was commited. The reason the one officer at the time was probably told to hold off from arresting George -has probably to do with this fact of probable cause. Since he claimed self-defense – I don’t see any probable cause. That is the purpose of the Grand Jury to investigate to see if there is probable cause & to indict if found. And that’s why they called for one at the beginning.
I’m not a lawyer, but lawyers out there -how is this not a miscarriage of Justice being you can’t just say probable cause for the fun of it?
I believe this is a miscarriage of Justice and it was done to appease a certain segment of our society and to appease our executive branch!
And what’s even more unbelieveable – is Not one person screaming in a court for George’s sake – “False arrest” and taking it all the way up if necessary!
