Gemmel Moore investigation: Prosecutors decline to file charges against Dem donor in fatal overdose
Prosecutors have declined to file charges against major Democratic donor Ed Buck in the case of Gemmel Moore, a male escort who was found dead inside Buck’s West Hollywood home last summer.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said the “admissible evidence is insufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt” that Buck gave Moore drugs or is responsible for his death in a document dated July 26, reports the Los Angeles Times.
I don't usually post articles of this kind, but the irony of this didn't escape me. Something with No Evidence of a crime or even a real crime (collusion) gets a special prosecutor and a possible murder or manslaughter case gets a no charges due to lack of admissible evidence strikes me as just a bit odd. But then one was a BIG Dem donor and the other is president of the United States. I guess the President doesn't count for much.
