I'm going to try to get around to posting a video shortly that seems relevant to this controversy, hopefully before the party today.

So the prosecutor wears a uniform identical to the one worn by city police?

Does he wear it in court? 

I'm curious about what happens when he is the only witness in a case - does another lawyer step in for him?

The prosecutor is a police officer. As is the state prosecutor a state trooper. The man who pulled over David Krouse for his infamous registration violation was also the prosecutor of the case against him.

I think he wears a suit in court if I remember correctly.

I had a meeting with Eli about this situation. He was very reasonable and told me that he would not be moving forward with the case, but I may need to still appear in court. I explained to him that my work schedule is very hectic and it is difficult for me to take time off. He was understanding and told me he would talk to the court clerk about me not having to appear. If I do need to appear it will not be on the 12th as I cannot take any time off of work right now.

Has he told you if we need to appear? He told me he would be in touch once he talked to the court clerk.

Correct.  He sent us a letter saying we don't need to "appear".

Surely you can spin this into something provocative--suing for false arrest or whatnot . . .

At the very least, it shows that if you stand up to them enough, they do back down.

Oh, I suspect the prosecutor just got right up here on this very forum, read the Keene Freedom Fest thread, and realized the charges would never stick.

I'm happy for both of you.

There really isn't enough information to say for certain why they backed down.  There could be more than one factor.  It wouldn't surprise me if the fact that Toby is a local had something to do with it.
