What can the da do after the state of NY, the mayor & city admin. have taken a firm stance on guns & crime? As I recall the mayor made a statement shortly after this incident saying plax would be treated like anyone else would, i.e. convicted & jailed if guilty.
The da doesn't sound like he's trying to pimp himself or rushing to judgement at all, he's just taking steps to get Pierce indicted to bolster the case. Smart move, why wouldn't you indict a guy you believe was complicit w/a crime? At the least, putting Pierce on the stand (if it goes to trial) is absolutely essential. There's no way this thing can proceed w/out Pierce in some manner. His testimony, true or not, is vital to the case.
How much you wanna bet that he & plax ain't too friendly after this thing is over?
