Protestors Get Their Day In Court

The first round of protester trials after the Democratic National Convention has ended this week with the results decidedly in favor of the accused.

The city is prepared to take as many as 60 accused protesters to trial after they declined to accept plea deals.

But of the first nine cases the city has taken this far, six were dropped by Denver city prosecutors near the eve of trial, a seventh was dismissed the morning trial was to begin this week, and two others ended in deadlocked juries.

Of those two cases, the judge, who had listened to all the testimony and arguments, tossed one for lack of evidence, saying "no reasonable person" would convict even if the case went to a second trial.

For a "justice" system that keeps people in prison for snapping dish towels, who fails to treat drug addiction and mental illness, this is an example of the City of Denver's unequal and unblind justice. District Attorneys, Police, and an administration that looks the other way for political contributors.
