After spending millions of dollars to prosecute what it touted as the
largest human trafficking case in U.S. history, the Department of
Justice (DOJ) has suspiciously dismissed it claiming that it lacked
evidence to prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt.
This despite the fact that three defendants in the case against a Los
Angeles-based labor recruiting company (Global Horizons) pleaded
guilty. You can’t make this stuff up. The DOJ went from one extreme to
another, after dedicating two years and blowing millions of taxpayer
dollars, and what do Americans get? A vague government statement that
obviously conceals details of the scandal.
The three defendants who pleaded guilty will now receive the
opportunity to retract their pleas, as if nothing ever happened. Here is
why; a team of government attorneys and agents determined the
government is “unable to prove the elements of the charged offenses
beyond a reasonable doubt,” according to a DOJ spokeswoman quoted in a
local newspaper covering the case in Honolulu. The paper called it a “stunning turnaround.”
