The open and shut case against Dan Choi which has already lasted three days longer than it should, has been delayed for ten more days because Choi’s lawyer claims he was a victim of “vindictive prosecution”<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Facciola said this morning that he had found there was prima facie evidence for “vindictive prosecution,” meaning enough evidence was presented to allow Choi’s lawyers to pursue such a claim. As a result, Choi’s lawyers would be able to ask for more documents and evidence from the government in order to investigate if higher-level officials advised their subordinates to try Choi in federal court rather than D.C. court and, if so, why.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Poor little drama queen is always a victim of something or other. He was persecuted for punching a subordinate in the chest when he was a lieutenant, then he was persecuted for voluntarily outing himself on national TV, then he was persecuted by the American taxpayer when we demanded to reimbursed for his education that we provided free-of-charge, now he’s being persecuted because he wouldn’t follow the directions of the court and the orders of police.<\/p>\n

And he can’t help but hide behind his military service<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Choi said he could not recall details of his arrest, but likened the scene to a \u201ccombat zone\u201d and recalled being struck by what he considered to be aggressive and demeaning tactics by the U.S. Park Police officers who showed up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do not recall a lot of what happened, but I also do not recall if I blacked out,\u201d said Choi, a 30-year-old West Point graduate who served in the Iraq war as an infantry officer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ya know, I’ve been in combat and I’ve seen a lot of mass arrests and it just doesn’t compare. So at this point, I have to wonder exactly how much combat Choi has seen to make such an idiotic comparison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
