Since I live close to Cape Girardeau, I had occasion to defend IL clients charged in MO. While I agree that they may/might have been charged, I was also thinking about how I could have mounted a VERY good legal defense to those charges. That was the basis for me saying that a prosecutor would be very reluctant to bring charges, particularly with a LEO as the defendant. As you know, rightly or wrongly, LEO's generally have instant credibility and are normally 'sympathetic defendants'.
