CDR SALAMANDER: No Justice for the Fat Leonard Four: to what end all the billable hours, but the billable hours. “A decade ago. He was arrested a decade ago. . . . They were charged for events dating back to 2006 or so – 17 years ago at the most. This is like taking someone to court in 1945 from an indictment in 1939 from being accused for a crime in 1928. Think about that. Think about that real hard. . . . Every American – and especially anyone who has served – needs to look very close at this timeline. Look at the system of justice you think you live under. Look at the government that in theory is of, by, and for the people.”

I had missed that the charges were vacated due to prosecutorial misconduct.
