During a virtual court hearing, U.S. Magistrate Judge Andre Espinosa criticized the U.S. Attorney's Office for hastily charging Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, finding the indictment politically motivated and inadequately investigated. Baraka was charged with trespassing during a protest at an ICE facility, but the charges were dropped shortly after. The judge's comments indicated a significant concern over the fairness and thoroughness of the prosecution, particularly given Baraka's position as a public figure. The lack of transparency regarding the investigation's integrity was also highlighted.
Jesus, he tore these people a new asshole. Good grief.
The decision suggests a failure to adequately investigate.
