Memeing "Prosecutor who ought to be run out on a rail" watch for easy reference.
The latest is that the idictment is being sent before a Grand Jury. No plea bargain was "reached" (because Hollot did not commit a crime, duh)! My understanding is that the Grand Jury process is rather broken and they almost never fail to approve a prosecution, so this will go to trial. If the Grand Jury does rebuke this idiot prosecutor it will great day for our justice system.
Several press outlets are continuing to milk this thing sensationally. One website specifically pointed out the Hollot was "unemployed," others underline the fact that the janitor was taken to the hospital for "injuries" (his ears were ringing) and talk about "explosive devices" and "homemade bombs." Dry ice in a plastic bottle is a "homemade bomb" in the same sense that a super soaker is a "rifle."
Not one press report has mentioned the prosecutor's name. Who is this guy who would ruin someone's life over a prank?! The people have a right to know!
Holy cripes... What's Wal-Mart doing selling all those handheld explosives kits (water balloons, water "grenades" even!) without warning people that they are an "explosive device"???
