Power-tripping prosecutor goes after foreign student in Florida

lundi 7 octobre 2013 à 14:00

A foreign student in Florida faces prosecution for running onto a soccer field to embrace the victorious player he admires. He could be kicked out of school and deported.

The player begged the prosecutor to drop the charges, but the prosecutor does not care. He has an opportunity to ruin someone's life, legally, and he's not going to let it go to waste.

However, this power-tripping prosecutor (remember Aaron Swartz?) is only the trigger for a much larger standing injustice: that many systems are designed to further and permanently punish anyone who has ever been convicted of any crime.
