> If they would've continued, then the prosecutor would've been laughed out off the court by the judge. The lawyer defending the journalist would've called this the easiest case of his/her career. Yes, I'm sure that would be true. Of course, I was ALSO sure that no governor would spend months (even after being well-informed about the matter by his advisors) railing against the journalist who reported this. I HOPE I'm right that the judicial system isn't suffering from the same malaise. But I'm not longer as sure of that as I used to be.
