I really can't understand why this hasn't happened yet. It's been 2 months since the appeal was filed.

I guess the better question is what took it two months to hit the news? Or did I miss it the first go round?

That's why it would take balls or at least a will to do what's right and sensible

I'm not disagreeing with you, but surely you realize that what is right and sensible to you may not be right and sensible to others, right?

The best way to handle this is for the governor to pardon the defendant. Going to court and getting any sort of judgment, etc. could lead to a precedent being set. Any precedent with a bright line rule could be used to the detriment of the accused, not to their benefit.
Yes
But if Missouri's governor is anything like Jindal he can forget it

As much as I'm opposed to the militarization of our police forces, the guy was convicted of armed robbery, not forgetting to pay a parking ticket.

Such a tidy, honorable sentiment that means shite.

Yes, to me.
And to anyone else with common sense. I realize this excludes many high minded OTers who would never ever ever do anything beaver cleaver wouldn't approve of.

Then follow the laws/procedures in place and allow the governor of Missouri decide whether or not to pardon the guy. Then enact laws that give guidelines on how to deal with this same situation in the future.

Because the courts are a joke. And this is simply a game to them.
