Without going into more details I would way that
it honestly sounds like prosecutor John Bernau
is NOT going to be pressured into letting this one go.

Incredibly, I honestly expect to see this one refiled in a few months.

There is no lack of evidence, sometimes it goes the other way.

According to the articles, several of the subpoenas went
unanswered. This means a lack of evidence is available for trial.
I expect the CA's office will follow up, and re-file if the
subpoenas produce enough evidence.


Did you notice that her attorney is NOT from
the state Attorney General's office?

DUH.
Someone from the AG's office isn't likely going to be a
defense attorney. The Attorney General's office PROSECUTES.
