""I think it's important to understand that this isn't just someone who's criticizing a judge," said Dearborn-Ohio County Prosecutor Aaron Negangard, who handled the criminal case. "Anyone who questioned him got harassed. Free speech does not give you the right to harass witnesses in the justice system."
Brewington's supporters say his comments were misread or taken out of context. BUT NEGANGARD SAID Brewington USED CAREFUL LANGUAGE TO DISGUISE ACTUAL THREATS.
Negangard said he recognized that much of what Brewington said was constitutionally protected, but "he crossed the line." But Brewington's supporters say whether he was dangerous isn't the issue.
"He's convicted for what he said, not because of what's in the divorce papers," Bopp said. "It goes beyond what was clearly over the top rhetoric as far as I'm concerned, but the First Amendment protects over-the-top criticism," he added."
Brewington used careful language to disguise his threats? Now who's being ridiculous? Perhaps someone should publish the entire Brewington blogpost on both the pyromaniac and the plumber analogies.
Sounds like Aaron is getting nervous. How many people in the county justice systems have threatened people over the years. They should be the ones sitting in jail. I would be they are all a little nervous right now. Especially with the new attorney coming to town who doesn't like citizens being harrassed by government officials.

They have disgraced our county and our country long enough. In the end I pray justice prevails.
