An Arizona judge on July 9 dismissed with prejudice the murder case against an elderly ranch owner charged in the shooting death of an illegal immigrant on Jan. 30, 2023...

Prosecution attorneys had filed a motion to dismiss the case without prejudice, leaving the door open to retry the defendant at a future date if the evidence or “political situation” changed.
However, Judge Fink said a procedural rule required scheduling a new trial within 60 days of the declared mistrial.
He said that to leave the case open-ended amounted to “harassment” of the defendant and gave the prosecution an unfair advantage.
“The court finds that the state is not able to articulate a reasonable basis for holding this case ‘open’ with a dismissal without prejudice,” Judge Fink wrote.
“The interests of justice are not advanced where the only thing to be accomplished by a dismissal without prejudice, where there is no possibility that a re-trial will occur, is the harassment of the defendant.
“For those reasons, the interests of justice call for finality.”

Rule of law doesn't defend ancestors uniquely alive today, it protects people staying in character references defined by rule of law.

That is great news. Any American citizen should be able to kill any illegal alien who enters this country.

How about invading uninvited citizens.

What is the direction west? Dusk. What is the direction east? Dawn. What is the direction of noon? facing the star in the center of the solar system.

What is mid night, halfway between dusk and dawn on a rotating planet revolving around a star you keep circle jerking everyone with artificial time zones to clock and calendar social behavior day in ins conceived and day out when died.North is Polaris separating temperate zones from the equator to axis of rotation and south is projected to southern cross with opposite temperate zones that going north on the same rotations.

what is the common sense day of being added to life celebrated annually not including the missing time conceived to birth or dead to decomposed?

I discuss common since conceived and everyone I ever socialize with since birth only debates who's who today ranking most popular, most famous of all time, has more power than I can dream of achieving and what am I worth to society at large.

Nothing discussing genetics eternally separating every ancestor ever lived in this universal location equally timed apart conceived to dead.

THat's all well and good but in this context it is also an attitude.

What is a platitude compared to a social attitude about who one is compared to every other lifeform in the atmosphere today? Bet it sounds like "We are better than you will ever become, tomorrow.".
