It may take time (sometimes too long) but have faith in our legal system.
NO! This shows that our legal system is not completely crazy, but it also shows that it’s pretty close to it!

Seems like might be appealed?

https://lakewoodalerts.com/chasdei-hashem-trial-of-schi-founder-rabbi-osher-eisemann-thrown-out-by-judge/

The unjustified prosecution of SCHI founder Rabbi Osher Eisemann is finally over after nearly a decade, after Judge Joseph Paone threw his new trial out before it could reach the jury. The prosecution cannot appeal the decision.

In explaining his decision to toss the case, the judge cited the prosecution’s total inability to show a morsel of evidence that Rabbi Eisemann committed any crime, determining that the case should not even be decided by a jury.

From the very onset, the prosecution’s case was splintering. Their opening witness – the lead detective who ran the investigation into SCHI – admitted under cross examination that there had been no crime, and each subsequent witness either confirmed that or said they were not involved in the case.

It quickly become clear that the case against the revered SCHI founder was a senseless vendetta against an upstanding man – a prosecution in search of a nonexistent crime.

On Tuesday, the defense concluded their cross-examination of the state’s final witness, as the state tried to rehabilitate their failing prosecution. After the prosecution rested, the defense filed a motion for the judge to dismiss the case, as the state has so far failed to prove any criminal activity. The judge began hearing the motion about 40 minutes before the court session was set to close. On Wednesday morning, additional arguments were made and the judge granted the motion, bringing the case to a close.

The case revolved around a 12-day loan from the school, which the prosecution claimed was used to promote another crime. However, it had already been established that the loan was made using private funds, not government money, and the lead detective has testified that such a loan was permissible. Furthermore, the second alleged criminal act, a loan write-down, was disputed by the bookkeeper who made the transaction, who explained that it was a simple bookkeeping maneuver, not an attempt to erase a debt.

Forensic audits ordered by the commerce department of the attorney general’s office have also shown that no loan balance existed between Rabbi Eisemann and the foundation, and that the foundation actually owed Rabbi Eisemann money.

Despite this, the justice department refused to consider these audits, disastrously clinging to their theory of a loan and attempted write-down.

The prosecution cannot appeal the judge’s decision.

Just for clarification for those that are not following the case closely can the ruling be appealed by the prosecution?

Prosecution asked, "Can we have leave to appeal?"

Judge answered, "Ever heard of the 6th amendment, double jeopardy? Case over!"


Attorney Lee Vartan also confirmed to me that they cannot appeal.

Let the record reflect that I was learning this morning when the news broke, and only learned about it a little later. Thus, I was not able to break it on DDF. And I feel really bad about all the missing likes I could've gotten.

Please help make up for it by contributing towards the still outstanding legal fees, so that Rabbi Eisemann can return to his holy work in peace. http://pidyonshvuyim.com/

I thought double jeopardy is only if proven innocent, not if case is dismissed.

I didn't get the full report yet, but I know that there was 'heated' debate for a long time. The judge said that there was zero proof offered of any crime, and the prosecution's entire theory was based on mere speculation.

(An important tidbit - the judge said that he was NOT basing his decision on the first witness who testified 'no crime', because he was retired and seemed to be confused. He was basing it off everything that happened since. Every witness said either no crime or failed to present any meaningful evidence.)

The judge made a lengthy ruling, explaining each part. When he finished, the prosecution asked for leave to appeal (meaning that he shouldn't dismiss the jury yet, because then it would be double jeopardy. They wanted him to hold off while they do an emergency appeal. But the judge refused.)

As the judge was calling back in the jury, the prosecution ran out to make an emergency phone call. I can only imagine how that went...

The judge called in the jury and explained to them that the case didn't rise to the level to go before a jury, and that there was no evidence of crime. I was told that the jury members were nodding vigorously in agreement when the judge said that.

I don't know what happened after, but I know that when I called someone there he said that Rabbi Eisemann was in middle of saying Nishmas.

(And I didn't split this up into separate posts, because I don't care so much about likes. I care more about donations to help this tzaddik have some peace of mind.)
