I admittedly know nothing about the legal system, but there's no way the accuser's attorney can... I don't know if this is the correct term, but "appeal" the decision to not charge Winston? I know citizens have legal rights and this is probably one that falls under a double jeopardy sort of thing, where the law can't rule one way and then come back and say, "Actually, just one more thing..." Yes, I know double jeopardy is a thing for accused persons, not a factor in deciding if you're going to charge somebody.
That's just what makes this thing so damn bizarre. This wasn't a thing about determining guilt, only if the courts wanted to investigate a crime. They decided no. I'm wondering what avenues the accuser's attorney has to go through if he believes that's a bullshit ruling. Are there any avenues at all? |
