Nutcase doctor who replaced Covid-19 vaccine with saline, acquitted

I think this waa Pam Bondi's doing. The comments make me want to throw up. Hopefully DU can fix the like / dislike ratio.

The impact in terms of whether he can be held accountable is similar, since the jury was empaneled and jeopardy had attached (meaning it would be double jeopardy for a non-MAGA prosecutor to undo the damage later.

But the former means a stupid person without the direct ability to send him to jail made an assinine decision.

The later means either a judge or jury evaluated all of the evidence, and found that that there wasn't enough evidence to conclude he violated the law.
