Lisa Poole I hope James is happy bc I now have zero faith in our judicial system in the US. She has destroyed any faith I had that judges and AG’s follow procedure and are fair and impartial. It feels like it’s all a Power game and we are Russia after all.

Dakota Willink Yes, and it was much to the surprise of the DA. Apparently, the sheriff determined probable cause. Isn’t that the DA’s job? Now is your chance to make up for not questioning things sooner. Investigate thoroughly and ask the hard questions—even if it means questioning MeToo.
