The other way of looking at it is to realize that trumped up charges could be brought against some candidates to throw the election to their opponents.

Justice delayed is justice denied but the voters will mete out justice at the polls. The prosecutors can just mop up afterward.

David for a perfect judicial system

What a Bunch of Gutless District Attorneys we have in the area and out of the area.
Since when does the outcome of an election have anything to do with wheather a crime was committed or not.

It may all be with good intentions but, it smells like connections are paying off for Mr. Brown, who has worked for some powerful washington and florida politicians.

wiretap? surely there’s a better name since no wires were involved in the crime.

If he is guilty of the crime, his child must be a minor or else the one recording the destruction and theft would be personally responsible rather than the parent.

Broxson=felony of the 3rd degree which is punishable by up to 5 years in prison. This is for the wiretap charges. His son, he in collaboration, violated the law when they recorded the conversation between Brown and his wife without their permission and then spread it to news and youtube. Then there are the signs for the illegally posted signs.

Can’t find what the charges are for removing the signs. Anyone?

Aren’t tax payers dollars paying for all this mess? And couldn’t the money and time be spent on something worthwhile. I mean, we all know politicians are crooked anyway.

As for— “but how do you steal something that is illegally placed?” With this line of thinking if I come upon you illegally parked car or truck, then it’s okay if I take it.

REGARDING:
“. . . aren’t campaign contributions “donations” and contributors shouldn’t expect anything in return for giving them? ”

Actually, contributors always expect something in return. In the most perfect setting, they expect the better person to win the election and to serve the people well. In a slightly less perfect world, they expect the winner to not have it in for them for not supporting them in the first place.

But using your line of reasoning, it would be okay to rob churches because their donations were given without expectation of benefit in return.

AND

“Broxson has made a real donkey of himself ”

Interesting viewpoint. The one who was being attacked or vandalized is the donkey for proving it? Ain’t politics wunnerful????

Say it isn’t so!!! We have another state’s attorney from a different district that can’t make a timely decision because it might impact the election? The people deserve a straight away answer to the question, so that they don’t elect a potentially charge and/or convicted thief. Again not defending Brown, but how do you steal something that is illegally placed? And who is the victim? Broxson didn’t pay for the signs with his own money and the money used to purchase the signs can’t be used for personal expenses, so he’s not truly a “victim” of larceny. And another thought, aren’t campaign contributions “donations” and contributors shouldn’t expect anything in return for giving them? That would leave them as being “victimless” as well. In my opinion, Broxson has made a real donkey of himself with his 5 minutes of fame on YouTube with his night time spy video of Brown and Brown has proven himself dishonest; therefore, neither are worthy of my vote!
