Who knew that sincerely believing in the Big Lie could someday come in handy in a criminal case? I wonder if any of the Jan. 6 defendants convicted of violent crimes against police officers tried it? Oh well, no matter, they all got pardons.
The ruling brings the last criminal case against the 2020 fake electors to an end.
Judge Kristen D. Simmons found in a hearing that prosecutors had failed to produce “evidence sufficient to prove intent” in bringing fraud charges against 15 people who agreed to submit fake certificates saying that they were Michigan’s electors.
Simmons added at the hearing that “right, wrong, or indifferent,” many in Michigan “sincerely believe, for some reason, that there were some serious irregularities with the election, or with the voting, and that somehow their candidate didn’t receive all the votes that was intended to for them.” Without intent to break the law, Simmons said, there could be no further prosecution on the fraud charges.
Of note, the judge is a Dem. So much for the claim of "radical, leftist judges unfairly punishing Repub's."
