Message:: [QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2603796, member: 71723"]TC, you're right. And there are quite a few posters here who make bold statements about "what the law is", when what they are more accurately saying is "this is the way I always thought the law was and I wish somebody would prosecute Carr under what I think the law should be or always was". And maybe they're even right that the law ought to be that way!!! Above my pay grade. But any discussion about "what the law is" has to go well beyond reading statute or case law, and take account of prosecutorial decision-making, for those tasked with such duties. It obviously annoys the crap out of a whole bunch of people that "what the law is" has to be so reliant on human beings making decisions on what scarce prosecutorial resources to use where, but that is the de facto world in which we live. Boils down to: get a prosecutor to do it, become a prosecutor yourself and do it, or shut up. That's harsh, but brutally honest.[/QUOTE]
