Funny how the State wants to hold ME accountable for my (perceived) mistakes, *yet the government refuses to hold THEMSELVES accountable when THEY screw up...*

[@LawShelf]

Ha! Good point. I guess we don't make the laws. :)

[@celesasheldon6931]

It's obscene

[@ashleyrobinson9129]

What about those who life altered in a negative way for being wrongfully accused and investigated?

[@DonaldHarrington-vl7zq]

They verbally abused me I walked away then they physically attacked me

[@reggieflowers1463]

I was wrongfully convicted and had my civil rights violated due to prosecutorial misconduct.I was charged six charges and given six separate sentences for a same offense crime

[@DunderHead.5000]

Every District Attorney. Worst Nightmare if they don't decline To prosecute

[@AndreRosario-zm8pf]

Attorney rights preliminary hearing rights speedy trial rights violated. A right to appeal and A right to hire and fire a Attorney. A Writ of habeas corpus should have never been suspended. Due process violation.

[@user-zj3rm7wd6u]

What about being held without bond for almost 2 years and your charges were dismissed?

[@DonaldHarrington-vl7zq]

For better clarity review Nelson V. Colorado...Double jeopardy is not allowed... once the case is reversed with [Harmful Errors and dismissed by the District Court ... that in itself declares the past defendant a petitioner and fully exonerated with a statute in their name showing affirmative & and case law.... it's not only about medical or lost wages... the record must also be sealed to avoid complications with renting or consideration of new employment.... remember this is a very unjust thing to do to anyone... separated from family and friends. Then sent to prison without any real guilt.... words cannot describe... please don't let these individuals be forgotten...it's the worst case scenario... sincerely, JD
