Re: [IRCA] OT: Bernie Ward KGO-810 indicted

["Gil Stacy" <gilstacy@xxxxxxxxx>]

If he has been indicted in Federal Court, the evidence is not only usually
enough to indict a ham sandwich but also strong enough for a jury of 12 to
find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and for a judge to sentence the ham
sandwich for a term of imprisonment.  Standards for indictment in the U.S.
District Courts are usually considerably higher than what it takes to
indict in the state systems and the professionalism and competence of
federal prosecutors is generally tops.  While the U.S. Attorneys can be hack
political appointments, the career prosecutors are no hacks.  The motto in
the U.S. District Courts is "Mind over Matter".  "We don't mind and you
don't matter."  There are acquitals in federal prosecutions, but
considerably rarer than in state prosecutions.  He is in trouble big time.
