Sure, the Feds have to establish this guilt beyond a shadow of a doubt.

I know of guys who have e.g. sexually assaulted women and got away with it - everyone knows they did it - because it couldn't be proven.

Be interesting to see what the reaction would be if say Karrin Vetrano's rapist got off on a technicality and/or because of bungling by investigators.

Just my two cents!


Moe my friend, do you really think the end always justifies the means and should a judge just disregard misconduct from FBI agents, because they are trying to put evil-doers behind bars?

For example, do you disagree with the decision by the courts to reverse a lot of those sentences after it became clear that agent Lindley DeVecchio had that shady relationship with Scarpa?
