[quote=Anonymous]So, for all the screaming by right wingers about how Loudoun doesn’t prosecute criminals, they won a measly conviction in a misdemeanor charge for wrongly firing a teacher for testifying before a grand jury against former LCSO Scott Ziegler in the wake of the outcry over the sexual assaults in two schools a couple of years ago.

AG Jason Miyares cynically exploited that case for political gain, of course. Ziegler was acquitted of two other charges and is appealing the sole conviction. Miyares also lost the perjury case against spokesman Wayde Byard.

Now the AG has dropped the remaining charge against Ziegler, that he made false statements at a school board meeting about the assaults, which was to be tried in Feb. Miyares’s office says justice has been served and basically admitted they were out to ruin two men, noting Ziegler faces a year in jail, a $2,500 fine and … wait for it … “other collateral consequences.” Whatever the hell that is.

I for one am glad this farce is over and and disgusted by our attorney general. 1-for-5 on a flimsy misdemeanor that will almost certainly be overturned on appeal. Way to go, morons.
