RLynne,
Thanks so much for contributing your valuable skills to Zahra's discussion. I have had a nagging question ever since reading about the plea deal, and am hoping you'd be willing to offer your personal impressions/opinion:
Are you aware (via official records, anecdotally, or your own personal perceptions) of any DA's ever using a strategy of offering a plea deal to a suspect/defendant, pretty much knowing in advance that it would likely be thrown out due to a foreseen technicality, or nullifying behavior on the defendant's part? I know that in many professions, there are loophole approaches that are unofficial but frequently used 'tools of the trade'.
Do you think it's possible that the DA offered EB a deal because he wanted information from her, and was willing to take the gamble that she would engage in actions that would render it invalid? (Or perhaps even already had evidence he could use to that advantage later?)
NOTE: I want to make it very clear that I am asking for your personal opinions of whether anything like the above has ever happened, and/or, if you feel it could be possible in this specific situation.
Sincere thanks in advance for any insight you're willing to provide, and again, much appreciation for contributing to Zahra's cause.
