I admire the way the DA handled this case. He did not fold under

I agree, although I think it was more politically driven than legally
driven. He knew he was going to **** a fair amount of the electorate
either way it went, so he punted it to the GJ, then made sure that the
presentation was more diligent than usual (at least those that I have
been directly involved were more along the lines of ones that proved the
old saw about being able to indict a ham sandwich) in presenting the
case.

WIKI: "Inculpatory evidence is evidence that shows, or tends to show,
a person's involvement in an act, or evidence that can establish
guilt. In criminal law, the prosecution has a duty to provide all
evidence to the defense, whether it favors the prosecution's case or
the defendant's case. Evidence that tends to show a person's innocence
is considered exculpatory evidence."

The DA could fumble the ball
