Re: Prosecutor In Taylor Case Steps down, after receiving heat for DJ Job
The state should drop the case because it can't reasonably make its burden of proof.
The defense has alleged from the beginning that the case is being prosecuted in order to improve the career of Greico, who is the lead prosecutor here (or he was, until his resignation). The website is evidence of that. Also, it serves to undermine the credibility of the DA's office altogether here. In addition, it raises serious questions about other aspects of the case, concerning the nature of the states witnesses, on which the entier case turns. These guys are all either in jail or wanted in connection with on-going investigations, according to Sharpstein. The DA (Greico) claims "not to have known this." However, given the DJ/website fiasco, it seems clear that he willfully ignored this information to continue his slef-promoting prosecution.
NO way a good lawyer can't effectivly exploit this stuff and destroy ANY possibility of avoiding reasonable doubt.
The DA's office will drop charges and blame Greico. Otherwise, a judge will dismiss, IMHO.
(See the extermeskins Q&A with Taylor's lawyer--very informative. It's linked in another thread.)
