    “While there is a high public interest in seeing trafficking and exporting charges prosecuted, the behaviour of the DEA in this case is so shocking and flagrant that the justice system must distance itself from it. To allow the proceedings to continue would be to condone it.”

    To hear judges’ writings in filings with proper reasoning and sense that seems to be absent in many American court filings I’ve read, is very refreshing.
