    There are problems with the case. The girl turned into a porn strar and is not a good witness. Another witness was found guilty of fraud and theft.

      That’s not the reason, though. Imperfect witnesses are quite often at the heart of criminal cases – co-conspirators, jailhouse informants, etc. If that was an obstacle, no mobsters or drug lords would ever have been convicted.

      The real reason is cronyism and political privilege.
