You can read a rebuttal to this partisan piece by Andrew's assistant <A HREF="http://freestudents.blogspot.com/2007/02/they-couldnt-win-in-court-so-they-smear.html" REL="nofollow">here</A><BR/><BR/>To argue that both sides were wonderfully represented ignores the Bandys had to fork out $300,000 to defend their son. While it didn't cost Thomas a dime. And now his assistant smears Matt all over again in her attack on the media conspiracy.<BR/><BR/>Had Andrews done this to most kids they would be in prison because the parents wouldn't have that money. And David pretends this shows the beauty of the legal system. What beauty? That only people with money can defend themselves from overanxious prosecutors who don't care how much taxpayer funds they spend! Really beautiful. Spectacular!<BR/><BR/>David are you Andrew Thomas or Rachel Alexander? Do you work with them or are you related to either?

It's an opinion piece written by the deputy prosecutor in this case, so it's not exactly a surprise that she disagrees with the defense's perspective. Hardly what I'd call a "news article." But nice try, all the same.<br />If prosecutors were so sure of their case, why did they refuse to release the hard drive to defense attorneys, per court order? The beauty of our system of justice is that it works if you have enough cash to buy it at sufficient quantity and quality.

Referring to the District Attorney as a "Commissar" and likening him to David Duke do nothing to strengthen your logical argument. Instead, you come across as a petulant child who has not gotten your way. The fact of the matter is that he was doing his job. The beauty of our legal system is that both sides are represented wholeheartedly. Just as the DA was eager to get a conviction, Matthew Bandy had an eager and able defense attorney who did his job ably and well. I would recommend that you all read a recent Fox News Article: "Defense In Child Porn Case Distorts the Truth" http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,247903,00.html<br />for the other side of the story.

Then the kids are chased down by the Adult Probation Office and then JOE takes them on to prison. The plea is meant to get the guilty plea, they have every intention of sending all the boys to prison. Parents, DO NOT allow your kids to talk to the police, OR anyone without you there! They have NO problem sending a 12 year old to prison for life! Listen to the stories! There is an attack on our kids and it is the courts, prosecutors office and probation dept. New Prison's are being built that are privately owned that are making millions for the state of AZ and all of the other states.

Hopefully it won't sound smug when I mention Open Source is currently immune to such abuses.
