| Note #41a |
This is of course a total misconstruction of Judge Wolfe's words.
What Judge Wolfe was actually stating is that Mr. Brown should not be prosecuted for the crimes which he fabricated, i.e., his own involvement in Kathy Wilson's disappearance and demise, and for which he was charged with murder, and accomplice to kidnap and rape. NOT that he shouldn't be prosecuted for the perjuries themselves. WHY THE HELL ELSE WOULD JUDGE WOLFE ORDER THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO PROSECUTE THESE CHARGES.
Of course in his next breath Judge Wolfe grants the Commonwealth leave to prosecute Mr. Brown (AGAIN) on those very charges. Another example of the logic of an alcohol ravaged brain - or an expression of his disgust with District Attorney Massa for creating and involving him this ungodly mess? We believe it's a little of both - along with a strong mixture of arrogance and ignorance, and disrepect for our judicial system.
What is really interesting though is that Deputy Attorney General Von Geis later (at Brown's sentencing) chastizes attorney Segel for his attempt to characterize Judge Wolfe's words as meaning Michael Brown should not be prosecuted for perjury.
