Isn't it contempt of court to bear false witness; don't people caught doing that get charged and put in prison? So, which person was in the witness stand and will USA prove to be a democratic nation under the rule-of-law and charge them?
We found them by simple looking at the IP that the packets of the captcha were served from. The captcha was served over tor, based on the evidence that's impossible. Either you lied or you need to add further evidence. If you can't/won't add further evidence then as the court sees it you lied and are in contempt and will be punished in line with minimum sentencing??
This is of the order of a "he robbed me at home at exactly 2pm", "your submitted cell-phone evidence says you were at work from 1pm until 4pm".
If the defendant is convicted on some other counts can they, or anyone else, do anything or is the allowance of officers of the FBI to lie in open court somehow embedded in the USA constitution.
As a foreigner to the USA this sort of thing just undermines the entire foreign policy rhetoric of bringing democracy to the world. Bring some damned democracy to the USA first: government by the people for the people, my arse.
Most voters don't have information about such incidents or enough time to crawl through court records looking for that information. Actually, in judicial elections, most voters don't even have anyone else to vote for.
If you can't tell the truth in court then keep your mouth shut or you'll be punished accordingly seems like the exact message a country intending to operate under the rule-of-law should be promoting.
This case is being heard by a federal court, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Federal judges are appointed by the president with the consent of the Senate.
IMO electing judges and sheriffs makes negative sense, but that's what we have going on here.
