I think people are going to be disappointed with what happens....

13. But most here simply want equal justice under the law--NOT VENGEANCE

Perp walks and handcuffs are not always the protocol. But arrest (even if presenting voluntarily at a designated place/time), fingerprints, and mugshots ARE, followed by arraignment before a judge who will decide how to proceed. Anyone else in that situation who had shown a perchance for ignoring court orders, speaking publicly in a manner that puts others at risk and inflames others prone to violence would get a gag order. Anyone else who was considered a flight risk would have additional measures and orders placed on their travel. Equal justice under the law.

And to the extent that anything changes from standard protocol, it damn well needs to be that necessary for security--to court staff, jury members (who MUST be kept anonymous) and to accommodate the secret service.

But as to the rest, I hold my highest hopes for conviction from the DOJ cases. I believe Willis has the goods, but a lot of increasing obstacles in her way. I will look forward to reading the charging documents from NYC, but sans a surprise not yet really discussed as yet to elevate the case to felony status, I have concerns--less perhaps with a conviction than with it being turned on its head to his advantage.
