The Injustice of America..

Here is another one:

A second Los Angeles judge threw out the murder charge against a suspended USC student accused of killing her newborn child on Tuesday.

Holly Ashcraft, a 22-year-old architecture major who has stood trial for two years, still faces a June 27 hearing for one charge of child abuse.

Ashcraft was arrested in October 2005 after a newborn was found in a Dumpster behind the 29th Street Cafe. DNA evidence proved it was her son.

Prosecuting Deputy District Attorney Franco Barrata had cited a coroner's conclusion that the baby was born alive, but defense attorney Mark Geragos had repeatedly challenged that assertion in court.

"I'm extremely pleased," Geragos said of the ruling. "Obviously [the Ashcraft family is] delighted, and I'm happy for them."

Judge Samuel Mayerson concluded that he couldn't "second-guess" Judge David Wesley's decision to dismiss the murder charge and impose a lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter, Geragos said.

Barrata had responded to Wesley's decision by requesting the case to be dismissed, and subsequently refiled the murder charge against Ashcraft.

Judge Mayerson ruled the case had been dismissed twice and therefore couldn't proceed, Geragos said.

This was a reversal of Mayerson's opinion on Monday, when he indicated the case could go to trial but reserved final judgment for a Tuesday ruling, according to multiple media reports.

The child abuse charge against Ashcraft remains, but Geragos said he was hopeful "that cooler heads will prevail" and prosecutors wouldn't pursue that lone remaining charge in the case.

Barrata was not available for comment, but spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons of the district attorney's office said the ruling would be submitted to a Los Angeles Superior Court panel for review.

Based on the panel's analysis of the ruling, the district attorney's office would consider a writ of appeal, Gibbons said.

The case had prominently featured expert testimony by deputy medical examiner David B. Whiteman, who said the deceased infant's lungs were partially inflated, indicating a live birth.

Its better Better then living in war torn Africa, where people are starving,dieing of uncurables diseases, and being slaughtered by radical military groups every second. Or Cuba, where the people have little to no rights, and can get thrown in prison or hanged for having opinions that the goverment don't agree with. Lets no forget the other third world countries, where people lives are basically hell on earth. Hey but if you are sickend to be living in "corporate america", you can leave dude.
