Due Process does require appropriate judicial procedures, and, as the saying goes... "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer". We use the expression, "innocent until proven guilty" in criminal prosecutions (which actually has its roots in Talmudic law). So judicial process requires, essentially, that the government be punished for misconduct through dismissal of criminal charges.

Note, however, that dismissal is not a finding of "innocence", which often causes many people heartburn (on both sides of the equation). Joe Arpaio was "pardoned", not exonerated (and doesn't understand what that means, if public statements are to be believed). So, although he cannot be prosecuted for these particular offenses, his problems don't go away.

Unfortunately for the interests of justice, the department thereof is headed by a man who doesn't believe in the concept (unless it involves disadvantaging the disadvantaged). Until he is gone, nothing will happen, and Bundy is well aware of this. Also, unfortunately, miscreants will be emboldened by this reality.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
