The Constitution is not worth the ink and paper it's written on. This man is being tried for the same crime, another violation of the Constitution's Fifth Amendment.

SALT LAKE CITY -- After federal prosecutors agreed to dismiss the case because of medical issues, state prosecutors have now charged a retired Air Force major busted in an internet sex sting.
The Utah Attorney General's Office charged _____, 45, with three class A misdemeanor counts of enticing a minor. The charges were filed Tuesday in Salt Lake City's 3rd District Court.
_____ was originally charged in federal court in Salt Lake City back in 2007, but the case was dropped earlier this year because of issues surrounding his health. In court papers, _____'s attorney argued that he suffered from a life-threatening heart condition and the stress and strain of any criminal prosecution would put his life at risk.
- So therefore, you have no constitutional rights, period.
Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for Utah agreed to dismiss the case - with prejudice - meaning that they could re-file the charges at any time.
- This is flat out wrong. Dismissal with prejudice means they CANNOT file charges again for the same crime, look it up! Dismissal without prejudice means they can re-file charges, not with prejudice!
Apparently, the Utah Attorney General's Office did not feel his health was a significant enough factor by leveling the charges. A judge also issued a warrant for _____'s arrest on Tuesday.
The charging documents claim that _____ arranged a sexual liaison over the internet with someone that he thought was a 15-year-old girl. It was really an undercover police officer.
When he showed up to the Layton Hills Mall, he was arrested.
"He gave spontaneous statements, indicating he was at the mall to have dinner with his wife and was happily married," officers wrote in a probable cause statement filed with the charges. "_____ also stated he was interested in seeing how safe programs work on the internet to keep children safe since the internet was a scary and dangerous place; and he stated he was not at the mall to meet a 15-year-old girl."
A court appearance has not yet been scheduled for _____.
- So much for a constitution, it means nothing anymore!
"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin (Bill Of Rights)
