What everyone is forgetting, the case was appealed. Alot of people are saying that the fire chief was convicted. However, when someone goes to court in District Court, is convicted then appeals the case to Superior Court, the conviction is thrown out and the case starts over from scratch in Superior Court. Therefore, the fire chief was not convicted. I think that the court transcript should be obtained by wway tv3 and published so that the public can hear and read what actually happened in court that day. If ADA Holden (aka Princess) lied to the judge then she should punished for lying. If anyone else lies to the court, they are punished. Maybe Princess should spend some time in the Brunswick County Hilton to think about the error of her ways. After that, she needs to go back to law school and learn how to prosecute cases. From what I heard, the ADA was given the opportunity to dismiss the case herself. This would have allowed for the DA's office to come back and charge the fire again. However, Princess wasn't smart enough to figure it out.
