Constitution prohibits ‘punishment in limbo’

Feb. 22, 2012

“[Even as] prosecutors quietly dropped all charges against the remaining three defendants, [Nancy Lamb] had the temerity to hint that there was sufficient evidence to convict if the state were disposed to go to trial.

“This kind of talk betrays the same imperious mentality that has left [Robin Byrum, Shelley
Stone and Darlene Harris] turning in the wind for eight years.

“A person charged with a crime is entitled under our Constitution to a timely resolution... a chance either to pay his debt to society or get on with his life. There is no excuse for punishment in limbo.”
