Box O’ Wine Is On It!

One thing @USAttyPirro will have to do to prosecute these cases is prove there was damage -- that is, prove the value of the so-called fixes, and prove they were still in place when the alleged damage happened.

That's going to get hilarious quickly. https://t.co/W3jximTGAO

Well, the DOJ will have to prove the defendant changed the condition of the pool and that change constitutes damage within the meaning of the law.  And then the defendant damaged the pool by…touching the bottom of it?

This is going to get laughed out of court.

Aside from the peroxide?

And back to the question of proof: if chemical analysis indicates the pool has been polluted, it won’t indicate whodunnit. Pirro may consider “more serious charges.” But who does she charge?

Full extent of the statute establishing fines for dipping your hand in a national park body of water? Or full extent of the misdemeanor statute regarding touching the stuff floating in the national park body of water? Or bringing a camera crew to an open national park body of water?

I do like the idea of “attempting to vandalize.” I’m real interested in what that is. Entering the park with intent to touch water? Carrying a knife that could potentially be used to scratch a surface? Coming to the park with a camera?

This is going to be hilarious.
