Guest column: The State Attorney's scorched earth approach to prosecuting is unwise

This is in response to State Attorney Angela Coreys misleading assertion that Florida law does not permit overcharging..

Unequivocally, there is absolutely no law on the books that can stop a prosecutor from either filing charges that are not aligned with the particular facts or prevent a prosecutor from filing charges that should never have been filed at all.

Two basic potential abuses of prosecutorial discretion must be examined when considering overcharging.

WHEN DISCRETION IS OUT OF LINE

First, filing charges where the hard facts of what actually happened are outside of the legislative intent of the particular law being applied. Two excellent examples are the George Zimmerman and Michael Dunn cases.

The facts in Zimmerman called for manslaughter at best. Had the prosecution pursued manslaughter, the jury would have had a better opportunity to understand the facts, evidence and the law.

However, because the state spent so much time on second degree murder, the jury never heard a clear case on the lesser included manslaughter charge because the prosecution wasted so much time stretching the facts to prove second-degree murder.

The same occurred in the Dunn case where the overcharge was first-degree murder. This was so although the actual facts suggested second-degree murder and three counts of attempted second- degree murder. The results in both cases speak for themselves.

The second way to overcharge is filing charges against a person who should not have been prosecuted at all for what allegedly happened.

The Alexander case is a classic example.

"We have forwarded her request to delete her objectionable photographs to social networking websites," a police officer told IANS.

Twitter Wednesday was abuzz with news of the revelation of the affair between 67-year-old Digvijaya Singh, a former chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, and Rai, a Rajya Sabha TV anchor.

The step was taken a day after police registered an FIR following a complaint filed by Ms Rai alleging that her email accounts were hacked and pictures were made public with an intention to outrage her modesty.

The Crime Branch of Delhi Police has registered a case in this regard under section 66A of the IT Act and section 509 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) following the complaint.

In her complaint, Ms Rai had also alleged that her fake Facebook and Twitter accounts were set up and submitted a list of such fraudulent accounts through which those pictures were circulated.

"We have forwarded her request to take down all objectionable photographs from social networking sites," a senior police official said.

A controversy had erupted after private pictures of Ms Rai and Mr Singh surfaced on social media following which the 67-year-old politician admitted to his relationship with her on Twitter on Wednesday.

"I have no hesitation in accepting my relationship with Amrita Rai. She and her husband have already filed a mutual consent divorce case. Once that is decided we would formalize it," the former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh tweeted.

"But I do condemn encroachment in our private life," Mr Singh said.

Mr Singh's wife Asha passed away last year after prolonged illness. He has four daughters and a son from the marriage. Ms Rai, said to be in her early 40s, had also tweeted that she will marry Mr Singh after the divorce with her husband.

"I have separated from my husband and we have filed for a mutual consent divorce. After which I have decided to marry with Digvijaya Singh," she tweeted.
