GRAND JURY INDICTS PLANNED PARENTHOOD FILMMAKERS

[poncho]

A Texas grand jury has cleared a Planned Parenthood clinic of wrongdoing, and instead indicted two pro-life filmmakers who published videos alleging the abortion organization’s á la carte fetal organ harvesting.

On Monday, a Harris County Grand Jury charged Center for Medical Progress President David Daleiden and activist Sandra Merritt with “tampering with a governmental record,” a second degree felony. Daleiden was additionally charged with a misdemeanor count regarding human organ procurement.

Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson said they were left with no choice but to charge the filmmakers after an investigation on the Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast clinic in Houston turned up clean.

Clean? OK - if Planned Parenthood is clean, how can they charge this guy with human organ procurement - if there were no human organs to procure??

 

[Crabtownboy]

Must have been very compelling evidence for a Texas grand jury to make this decision. Nope, I have no idea what the evidence was and probably will never know.

 

[Revmitchell]

Actually according to Judge Andrew Napolotano it is easy to get an indictment. He also believes this is a political hit job. This I would not doubt. PP should be shut down. The most evil organization in America.

Well, agree or disagree with you, that is not the way the Grand Jury saw it.

No not with me with an experienced Federal Judge.

 

[Crabtownboy]

No not with me with an experienced Federal Judge.

Are you saying:

1. You are an experienced federal judge?
2. You know an experienced federal judge?

What do you mean, "me with an experienced Federal Judge"?

You know, I just do not feel like playing your childish games today.

No, I'd really like to know. Your sentence makes no sense. I have no idea what you were trying to say. It was a grand jury not the judge who made the ruling.

Did you read the quote in the OP:

"Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson said they were left with no choice but to charge the filmmakers after an investigation on the Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast clinic in Houston turned up clean."

The primary thing these people are being charged with is falsifying a California license; thus, the "governmental record." I haven't seen more explanation on the human organ trafficking charge; but because the two were presenting themselves as interested in human organs, with no actual intent towards such, I don't see that charge sticking. That would be like saying you or I posed as human traffickers in order to expose human trafficking, then finding us guilty of human trafficking.

Since those are the only actual charges, with the result of their actions being a major embarrassment for Planned Parenthood, this simply reeks of retaliatory action.

I will help here since it's pretty clear - bolding mine:

We see RevMitchell posted what a federal judge said. Crabby said "agree or disagree with you" and Rev said "not with me" because his post wasn't about him but what a federal judge said. Is that clearer?

No...Napolitano is no federal judge. He was a lower court judge in the New Jersey state system.

Ann he knows he was just trying to make something out of my words that I did not say as usual.

Well friend, you need to use punctuation to make your comment clear. It was not at all clear the way you wrote the sentence. Now, tell me, what about the Federal Judge? I do not know what you think a judge had to do with this as it was a grand jury that made the decision.

There was no bold text in your reply ... no punctuation either other than a period at the end.

Punctuation really does matter;

“We have a language that is full of ambiguities; we have a way of expressing ourselves that is often complex and elusive, poetic and modulated; all our thoughts can be rendered with absolute clarity if we bother to put the right dots and squiggles between the words in the right places. Proper punctuation is both the sign and the cause of clear thinking. If it goes, the degree of intellectual impoverishment we face is unimaginable.”

Not true Rev. You punctuationless sentence carries no meaning. As I ask, what does a federal judge have to do with a grand jury decision?

Oh big deal, some grand jury in downtown Houston indicted them for "tampering with government evidence", whatever that means. And they want 20 years for this - the DA office down there has a PP board member working for them, total railroad. But you know what they say, you can indict a ham sandwich.

 

[Squire Robertsson]

It has been said (regardless of jurisdiction) that a District\State's\U.S. attorney can get grand jury to a ham sandwich indited for murder. That's not to say a trail jury will convict.

Very true, to be indited by a grand jury is not a conviction. The burden of proof is very different in a jury trial from that in a grand jury.

From: http://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-procedure/how-does-a-grand-jury-work.html

Grand juries do not need a unanimous decision from all members to indict, but it does need a supermajority of 2/3 or 3/4 agreement for an indictment (depending on the jurisdiction). Even though a grand jury may not choose to indict, a prosecutor may still bring the defendant to trial if she thinks she has a strong enough case. However, the grand jury proceedings are often a valuable test run for prosecutors in making the decision to bring the case.

If the grand jury chooses to indict, the trial will most likely begin faster. Without a grand jury indictment, the prosecutor has to demonstrate to the trial judge that she has enough evidence to continue with the case. However, with a grand jury indictment, the prosecutor can skip that step and proceed directly to trial.

The grand jury will answer to God on Judgment Day.
