You said 'he' several times....I was correcting that....I did also state that she was very anti-DV publicly...she was not going to dismiss the charges against the most famous person in her court knowing that a guilty verdict would instantly be rendered meaningless....
-NC Bench trials are non-binding arbitration
-they weed out the weak cases or the easy cases
-they don't even use court reporters or keep notes
-you keep using terms like verdict and appeal like they apply to other courts and it just is not the same
-when a person 'appeals' a bench trial verdict it no longer matters...they get their constitutional guaranteed right to due process and a jury trial...they even have to be arraigned again...the bench trial 'verdict' is completely discarded...that is why when the charges were dropped they don't revert back to the bench trial's finding...it was like it NEVER happened....it has no standing and should not be used against Hardy in any way
-anyone that talks about a settlement is just speculating, so again that is not some kind of smoking gun
I only used terms that a read from the articles. But you also said that their was "prosecutorial misconduct". You accused them of hiding key evidence in which is so false and a blatent lie by you, or are you really just not that much in the know as you pretend to be. You tell me.
But thank you anyway bk. If I ever get in trouble with the law in North Carolina I'll be sure to secure a retainer for your representation. Just make sure you stay at a Holiday Inn the night before.
