things like this typically fall into either attempt crimes or conspiracy crimes.. wiki has a good explanation of both concepts... links below.

in this particular case, there's an identity theft charge for submitting the invalid subpoena to the bank with the judge's information and an attempted identity theft charge for trying (and not succeeding) to access the judge's banking information.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_(criminal)

an indictment won't present evidence. you want to skip the judicial process and have everything in step one. that's now how our judicial system works.

count 3 is the false statement charge, not 2. this isn't a civil defamation case. what the defendant knew is irrelevant.

your last statement is wrong.

title is completely misleading. on top of that, the article is poorly written and disconnected from reality.

the full indictment is here: http://pickens.fetchyournews.com/2016/06/24/fannin-focus-pub...

these two were indicted for trying to obtain a judge's banking records and violating the notification statute in georgia.

that stuate is written in plain and simple language that most will understand; refer to (b): http://law.justia.com/codes/georgia/2010/title-7/chapter-1/e...

please please... please... do more research before blindly believing every david vs. goliath story...

to understand why it happened. why it wasn't prevented. and maybe.. one day.. to prevent it from happening again.

should we also whitewash all of history's tragedies?

look at it on a high resolution screen (eg 1440p).. - 2/3+ of the screen is wasted.. why am i penalized for having a solid resolution? - unnecessary javascript text animations.. this is a story about injustice.. not a trailer for star wars - dropcaps the that literally take up 1/2 the width of the text container.. - enough scrolling to properly piss you off.. and no, this isn't because of the content.. its because of shit design

this is a heavy article to begin with. i got frustrated with the horrid design before i got half way through and copied it into text editor without any styles

ignoring the content for a moment..

the layout and color choices of this page make reading this unbearable.. they're distracting, annoying, and infuriating at the same time. please... for readers' sake.. stop designing pages like this.
