Justice On Hold
And possibly permanently disconnected; Judge Forrest Bridges on Friday morning abruptly adjourned the trial of accused cop killer Demeatrius Montgomery, before it even had a chance to get started. This from News 14:
After meeting with both the prosecution and defense before court, Judge Bridges ruled that both sides needed more time to look into “certain matters.” The judge expects a full report Monday then will make the decision on how to proceed from there.
News 14 Carolina asked the lead prosecutor if she expected the case to resume as normal Monday and she replied, “I don’t know.”
That is not the answer you want to hear from a lead prosecutor, particularly one who is already reeling thanks to the horrific detective work of one Arvin Fant and the emergence of a suddenly plausible alternate suspect.
If the City Council doesn’t demand a full and thorough investigation of what has transpired at the CMPD under the leadership of Chief Rodney Monroe that could lead to such a travesty, we are well and truly doomed to becoming a World Class disgrace of a city.
