So either way it is a fact that Gray ran.
Quote:As for the knife: it may have been illegal...it may not have been. So, again, in quotes.
The fact that the false imprisonment charges were dropped in several of the cases would seem to indicate that the prosecution knew the knife was illegal, or close enough for a good faith basis for arrest.
Quote:Serious question though...and I am trying to engage you in conversation, not "troll" you: How many times have you thought something was wrong and were wrong yourself? Do those occasions (assuming they happen) cause you to doubt what you think or do you think that the next time you might be right so you pursue your line of thought anyway? I would assume you always follow up because that is your job.
Do they happen, yes. They don't happen very often and they happen at a rate that gets continuously lower with experience. Do they cause me to doubt, no, because in every instance there was an alternative explanation for the person's behavior that was completely unknowable at the time of interaction. In those instances the worst that happens is that someone is temporarily inconvenienced and then let free with a sincere apology. I've said before I've gone out of my way to assist people who were being done dirty. The concept of justice is very important to me and if justice involves helping the defense than I am happy to do it.
