Despite being a very high-profile case, the prosecution on the YSL RICO case seems to consist entirely of people who are attending their very first rodeo. Blessed be Al Gore’s internet for allowing us to see such grandiose screw-ups in procedure and credibility in real time. In case you missed a few days, here is a quick highlight reel:

This extended series of broadcasted blunders will follow their careers for a very long time. Looking forward to their next big fumble. At this rate, I’ll give it two days.
Update: I couldn’t even hit enter before the prosecution messed up again:
"None of this makes any sense"
Coming back from the lunch break, suddenly the state is saying "nope nevermind this isn't actually Gaither's file".
