defendant, and told them it wasn’t possible to proceed with the case.
On Monday, she dismissed the case “with prejudice,” meaning the
government cannot retry the defendants. “The court finds that the universal
sense of justice has been violated,” Navarro said.

facts makes it easy to manipulate public opinion.”
