Auntie Charo's Soapbox

Mindy Fothergill of KUAM reported last night that:"A District Court judge's decision to suppress evidence in a large drug case could mean four individuals will be free of criminal charges. District Court judge Robert Takasugi granted the defense's motion to suppress evidence collected during a drug bust in Sinajana , and that:"Police cannot be allowed to trample on someone's constitutional rights and it teaches citizens that they have the right to say no to searches of their home without warrants." Attorneys for San Agustin believe their client's rights were also violated. The law firm today issued a brief statement about the judge's decision, saying, "We believe Mr. San Agustin's Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights were violated and for that reason we filed the motion to suppress. Since the court granted the motion and it excludes all evidence that the government would have raised, there's a strong likelihood the case will be dismissed."
Fothergill reports that there's a possibility for an appeal to an appelate court, otherwise, the case is moot and the wholesalers go free on technicalities............all that work and the cops didn't know what they were doing was against the fourth and fifth amendment rights? Surely these were seasoned cops?
I know this isn't the time or place for such a discussion but during the past eight or ten months, did any of the cops involved in the investigation that caused the information to be suppressed get promoted or given raises? Just thought I'd ask.......They were in Sinajana for heaven's sake, how hard was it to run to a judge for a search warrant for the rest of the house? Thought I'd ask that question as well........that's what they do on the t.v. shows.....
Does the word, 'keystone' fit anywhere in this story? Naw, this is a sad story.....no 'keystones' allowed!
