[Harry Rex Vonner]

Now before the judge denies the motion of the defense for dismissal of all charges and TheRealVille declares that to be another development that "rocked the world", let me submit that, in these cases, it is extremely rare for a judge to grant the defense's motion.

Why? It is easier and more proper for a judge to let the jury decide such issues. And, there is far less pressure on the judge. You will find that judges are as careful as possible to cover their own rear ends.

And, of course, in this trial which has the element of coercion trumping the evidence, the judge doesn't want to do anything to enhance the chances of her house being burned down and her loved ones maimed. Don't laugh this last sentence off. You know, and I know, and everyone else knows what often happens when minorities don't get their way. Not a politically correct statement but, indeed, an absolutely true statement.
