Mitigating Circumstances
June 02, 2011 | 06:39 PM
When looking at the situation as a whole, a judge may well rule on other, or additional grounds, so that his ruling applies with some specificity to the case at hand, and is thus less subject to review.
If I were on the bench, I would hope to hear of the entire episode. For example, the entirety of this situation may center around a particular police officer. It is not difficult to imagine that there are people who have an axe to grind. At the same time however, said axe may be in the hands of a police officer whose conduct is suspect.
Unless we are to belive that the MPD can credibly investigate their perceived threat with no information made available to the subject officer, the order could be denined on those grounds alone.
