How much more of a travesty of justice can this case become? Judge lungstrum dropped count 2 of the indictment because of speedy trial issues. He called an evidence hearing and determined that the entire case was egregious, and due to the lack of evidence decided to drop the charges with prejudice.
The prosecutor still has two charges left to continue to trial with. One count of manufacturing and one count of Conspiracy.
The manufacturing charge is based on a small amount of substance that was seized during an unrelated search absent of a valid warrant. This same substance, after a lab test ordered by the prosecution proved to be absent of any THC, and therefore does not even fall under the guidelines for Federal prosecution.
The conspiracy charge is based upon false hearsay testimony given by an SI that gave a statement claiming that Carrie Neighbors had confessed to her that she had pot for personal use. Even though it was the SI that informed Carrie in a private conversation discussing the search at a Walmart parking lot that quote "she should tell police it was for personal use, and it would be no big deal."
Now that S.I. met up with Carrie again on Dec. 24Th 2007 at the Walmart. During that chance encounter the S.I. approached Carrie and informed her "they need to talk." She hugged Carrie and asked Carrie to please forgive her. Emotionally she told Carrie that she was so very sorry for what she did. Carrie let her know what she did was wrong, but that she was forgiven.
This has gone on for so long people do not even realize its not over yet? This SI (already feeling remorse) is the person whose testimony Terra Morehead plans to use to prosecute the Neighbors for Conspiracy.
I ask you where is the credibility here? How can this type of baseless hearsay even be allowed in Federal court?
How can a case continue to be prosecuted on such ridiculous unsubstantiated statements without a thread of evidence to back them up? When does someone step in and say "enough?"
How long must innocent people be victimized by these unscrupulous prosecutors with no regard for the legal system?
