    The Government’s Sole Witness Just Sank the Reflecting Pool Case (w/ Ryan Reilly)

If that's true, can DOJ still prove the felony charge against him? They discuss why the $1,000 damage threshold is so important, what Jeanine Pirro's office has to prove, and why Hearn's attorneys argue the grand jury may have been misled.
