A seemingly sensible judge has barred the district attorney in the recent Pennsylvania case from filing felony charges:

If I were one of the parents I would be pursuing a case seeking steep financial reparations from the district and the prosecutor personally. I think I'd also be starting a campaign to pressure this prosecutor into resigning or the district into dismissing his employment.

I don't think a 1 million dollar award per family is too much here. The prosecutor should be responsible for a significant enough portion of that award so as to cause him meaningful financial impact.

Whatever the girls did, the acts of the district and prosecutor are the real crimes.
