Acquittal Of Prof G N Saibaba & 5 Others Is A Lesson In The Importance of Criminal Procedure In Securing Personal Liberty

Of 293 pages in the 5 March 2024 Bombay High Court judgement acquitting G N Saibaba of terrorism charges, almost 240 examine a litany of procedural non-compliances in the prosecution case. Without adherence to legal procedure, especially when life and liberty are at stake, nothing stands in the way of the police entering homes at night, rummaging through belongings & taking us away without anyone ever knowing.

Reading Trump’s reply made it seem like he had a reasonable First Amendment argument. The Government’s reply brief drops a rather devastating footnote noting that the Supreme Court expressly rejected the argument. Ouch. But that’s what you get when you have shit lawyers versus very good prosecutors.
