Judge: Is rifle here now? We can measure. If barrel less than 16" or an overall length less than 26" I'll deny motion to dismiss gun charge, otherwise I'll dismiss the gun charge.
State: We are not disputing, it is not a short-barrelled rifle.

I believed the role of the prosecutor was to take the evidence and investigative work done by the police, study and interpret that information as it pertains to the law and then determine if, in their opinion, laws were broken, how they were broken, and state which specific laws were broken. If they do determine, in their opinion, laws were broken, they make charges and take the case to trial.
I believed that the underlying key to the whole process was the pursuit of the truth. Defense attorneys have a very different purpose, I thought. I always viewed their role was to seek the truth, if beneficial, and to exploit every loophole if it wasn’t. In this trial the roles seem very much reversed, and that should never be the case. The system can not work if the prosecution values conviction above truth. No citizen is safe if prosecutors do not value truth above all else.
I'm sure there are earlier examples but the first time I became aware of "The Activist DA" was the Duke Lacrosse case.

Considering there have been threats against jurors, phones in the courtroom taking photos and videos of the jurors, and threats against the judge along with threats that the city will burn and a prosecutor that didn't know how to prosecute...

Yea I'd have mistrust too.
I would love to be a fly on the wall to listen to them deliberate.
