8. All that was needed for probable cause

was "Go down there and fight like hell......" Does anybody really think that if an arsonist burns down a building and they find that we paid for the arsonist to be in the area, told him to go to that building and "make it hot as hell" that we would not be in custody immediately as an accessory at the very least? It sure as hell would not have taken 3+ years for them to haul us in for questioning. But the powers that be acted as though we needed every last scintilla of testimony in depositions, a pile of documents and e-mails higher than the Empire State Building and video taped confessions before they could act at all except against the lowest echelons.

The idea that we needed to uncover the nth degree of detail and know every nuance of every possible criminal aspect created such delay that it became farcical with delays of months for incidental rulings on motions that could have been rendered on the spot. They acted like they would be nervous about charging even if they had the main crook himself on tape confessing it all. Remember that the OJ criminal trial failed partly in large measure to a judge who allowed the trial and courtroom to be out of control. Look no further than Judge Ito allowing the defense to literally scream and shout at Dennis Fung as he testified for example. Judge Ito wasn't fit to judge a pie eating contest let alone a serious criminal trial.

The judges failed to treat this criminal crumb of a real estate swindler and his crimes as an urgent case with threats to the democracy hanging in the balance and so we got routine matters scheduled out until months in the future and in one case a judge openly placing not just a thumb on the scales of justice to favor the crook but rather she hiked her entire backside on the pan in full view of everyone and was unafraid to do so. We know the reward from the crook to her will take place.
