Murder charges against man who killed 10 mo old baby dropped because prosecutor gave disparaging interview

[Artis]

I hope this the correct place to put this. If not, mods please move it.

A judge in Fremont County dismissed first-degree murder charges this week against a man accused of killing a 10-month old baby after the district attorney prosecuting the case did an interview with a TV station appearing to disparage the suspect.

District Court Judge Kaitlin B. Turner wrote in an order Wednesday that 11th Judicial District Attorney Linda Stanley's "actions reflect knowing and intentional outrageous government conduct." The order concludes that her conduct violated the defendant's right to due process and, as a result, "dismissal of the charges is an appropriate remedy."

This is BS!!!

ETA: A dangerous person who kills and infant is free to do it again?

I don't what the line is with prosecutors speaking about defendants. In fact, I've never thought about. Whatever the case, is it really grounds to dismiss such a case? I noticed, at the article link, is another link saying area judges all refuse to work with this prosecutor.

here is the WS thread for baby Edward, the case in question that has been dropped now because of this prosecutor's poor decision to get facetime.
