Epic fail: Law & order edition.

So I'm glancing through the front page of the Washington Post today, when I come across this article: "U.S. Seeks to Drop Case Against Former Sen. Stevens."

April Fools!

...oh, wait. They're serious. Damn.

So as it turns out, the bumbling nitwits that was our former Justice Department completely mishandled the Stevens case. In fact, it was so bad that the judge presiding over the case stated that "he had 'no confidence in the government's ability' to give the former senator a fair trial after they acknowledged failing to give defense lawyers information that would have helped their case."

It was Holder who ultimately made the call to have the charges dropped, stating that he "concluded that certain information should have been provided to the defense for use at trial," and that "it is in the interest of justice to dismiss the indictment and not proceed with a new trial."

Now, I'm all for holding people accountable, but everyone deserves a fair trial. The Justice Department knows they fucked up. Because of it, Stevens gets to walk.

On the other hand, he's out of office now. I can live with that.
