Angry Prosecutors Refuse to File Charges
The DEA, like the FBI in its handling of the Oklahoma City bombing case against Timothy J. McVeigh, failed to turn over internal records to the defense in criminal prosecutions, as required under federal law. Whereas the FBI did not provide thousands of pages of documents to defense lawyers, the DEA did not reveal the key informant's misconduct.
"With the DEA, it is a case of government run amok with nobody watching," said Terry Rearick, chief investigator for the Los Angeles federal public defender. "And when they got caught, they just cut deals and plea bargains with people to make them go away."
Some federal prosecutors, angry at not being told of the misconduct,refused to file charges against some suspects arrested by the DEA. They plea-bargained others instead of taking them before a jury.
And now defense lawyers may appeal scores of cases.
Still, earlier this year Los Angeles prosecutors were proceeding with their case against Daly when his lawyer, John Martin, filed a 250-page motion to dismiss the charges. He alleged that a history of DEA misconduct in its relationship with Chambers "has stained judicial proceedings across the country."
Prosecutors offered to release Daly on time served--if he promised not to sue the government. On March 24, he walked out of a downtown lockup a free man.
"I think they didn't want to run the risk that a judge would find that their own misconduct was so plain as to warrant outright dismissal of the case," Martin said.
