About those prosecutors, it's gonna take a special breed of cretin to frame their actions as murder, instead of justified self-defense.

I mean considering who Holder was, more likely he had local law enforcement in his pockets and eating on his "barbecues" so they'd do anything to get rid of any evidence that would get them in trouble too

Scumbags and degenerates gotta protect each other I guess, cause if one of them gets their dirty laundry aired out, the rest are also equally fucked.

Look up a few names. Kenneth Walker, Michael Giles, Maurice Byrd...

Saw those guys, cases like those were enough to put me off getting a law degree.

I guess that's what happens when a vocation is based on getting incentives based on your "quotas", rather than helping innocent people and doing the right thing. It results in scum doing what they can to generate an "impressive on paper" record, even if it means sending decent folk to the slammer, while advocating for cretins to let off the hook.

Damn.

I like this page, Karno. It's upbeat and hints that perhaps the porcine people might just learn some important things along the way.

A few washings will take the stiffness out of the denim. But now, a lesson in aeronautics!

Oh damn...she cleaned up NICE! She's a looker.

"Lipstick on a pig" in a complimentary way for once.
(more metaphorical than proverbial in this case, though)

Time to show the country kids just how big the world is.

Thank goodness for that.

One thing to keep in mind is that, with respect to jury trials, you're pulling from the same jury pool whether you're in federal or state court. And, of course, it would be the defendant that gets to make the call whether there's a jury trial. Something either a federal or a state prosecutor could do is try to move the case to another jurisdiction within the state, on the grounds that a fair trial couldn't be had in the immediate vicinity (cf. your comment re "locals"). That way, you'd have a somewhat different jury pool to work with. You'd also have to take care as to the pool of federal versus state judges that would be trying the case. I would assume in this case that the federal prosecutors would attempt to get precedence, and try first, based on some kind of trafficking and/or RICO-type law (cp. with the Minnesota man recently arrested for murdering some state legislators -- he is up on both federal and state charges, and the federal prosecutors have moved to try first -- this is also something that's turned up a bunch of times on Law and Order).

Or even more hostile defense lawyers.

Those three are going to need a lot of help. Getting raised as meat doesn't do a lot to prepare you for regular life.

At least they are in good hands if this is part of Herman Orca's universe where rats as a species were declared un-people for a time. If anyone would have stuff in place for helping menu items become people again its them!

Wow. Pig lady got quite the glow up. She looks happier than ever!

Still worried about Holder's daughter though, something was off with her that has yet to be explained...
