Jeanine Pirro Loses Another Trial.

I guess a homeless guy was playing with a cat with a laser pointer and he was arrested for shining it at Marine 1 helicopter while Krasnov was on board.

The jury took 35 minutes to find the man not guilty.

Jeanine Pirro also has the record for failing to indict people from a grand jury. I think she had 8 cases returned with no charges.

Is she ever sober? If I were her, and I thank my personal god I'm not, I'd be drunk off my ass all the time. Such useless garbage humans.

Is there a place where we can look up success rates of different US attorneys? How many cases brought to grand jury? How many indictments? How many guilty pleas vs acquittals? It would be good to have a base of comparison here; Pirro and others have some losses in the headlines, but are they losing more than their predecessors?

(I suspect they are; it would just be nice to put some numbers on it.)

If ICE hadn't deported the ham sandwich caterer she wouldn't be in this predicament.
