@BillRM,
When the facts don't support you, just repeat your original unsupported claim, eh Bill?
Maybe if you repeat another 10 times and click your heels, it will become true.
Simple facts.
1. Michael Bell was originally charged with attempted murder
2. On the day of the trial, the prosecutor dropped the attempted murder charges and moved to conspiracy and aggravated battery.
3. The prosecutor argued that the weapon required for aggravated battery was the tennis shoes worn.
4. The trial judge threw out the conspiracy charge
5. The appeals court threw out the conviction for aggravated battery.
So...
The prosecutor dropped some of the charges
The trial judge threw out some of the charges
The appeals court threw out the conviction on one of the charges
But..
Bill would have us believe that the prosecutor charged the case correctly when he charged the defendants with attempted murder.
Even the prosecutor realized he couldn't make that charge stick before it went to trial. But Bill just knows things that the people actually involved in the court case don't know.
