Judge Tosses D.C. Case From Trump Prosecutor--Calls It Total Garbage

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Judge Zia M. Faruqui has handed yet another legal defeat to Trump-appointed D.C. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, calling her attempt to jail a local attorney and West Point graduate “one of the weakest requests for detention” he’d ever seen, according to WUSA9.

Anthony Bryant, who served a tour in Afghanistan, was arrested early Monday morning on charges of assaulting, resisting or impeding police, threatening a federal official and threatening to kidnap or injure a person.

Pirro’s office alleged that Bryant approached National Guardsmen who were patrolling 14th Street on Sunday night and allegedly yelled “These are our streets!” and “I’ll kill you.” Pirro also claims that Byrant “threw his shoulder” into one of the Guardsmen’s shoulders. The police found a legally registered handgun on Bryant when they arrested him.

Bryant was released after his initial arrest but then arrested again and placed in jail on Wednesday on the order of Judge G. Michael Harvey. On Thursday, Judge Faruqui stepped in.

3. Why did they take away his guns?

4. Not uncommon condition for pre-trial release.

The charges against him weren't dropped. To the extent the headline in the story suggests the case was tossed it is misleading.

6. Oh, the irony

He has the God-given right to have a gun. Well, he would if he were a white veteran.

8. If the case was tossed, like the lying headline indicated, he would get to keep it.

5. The case hasn't been "tossed"

The charges have not been dismissed. The ruling was that the accused could not be detained pre-trial, a not uncommon decision where the accused is not considered a flight risk or threat to the community.

7. Yep, more media lies

Can't figure out if it is rank incompetence or deliberate false information

9. traitor felon and his thugs

Don't like it when someone fights back. Like Mr. Garcia, traitor's thugs will try one damned thing after another in an effort to 'show' Mr. Bryant who's boss. Plus it's another way of oppressing a segment of the opposition. Well, felon can't chase down every single person who resists.
