You know, the one who refused to accept the prosecutors decision not to prosecute and threw a defense attorney in jail for quoting precedent?

Well the Supreme Judicial Court, Massachusetts’ highest court, took all of about 25 minutes to overturn him:

A Supreme Judicial Court justice sided with Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins on Monday, vacating the decision of a lower court judge to arraign a counter-protester of the so-called “Straight Pride” parade earlier this month.

Justice Frank Gaziano wrote that Boston Municipal Court Judge Richard Sinnott had “no authority” to reject a prosecutor’s entry of “nolle prosequi” — a decision not to prosecute the case — when arraigning defendant Roderick Webber.

Sinnott also rejected several motions to dismiss cases against counter-protesters arrested at the Aug. 31 parade and rally.

Rollins argued last week that Sinnott overstepped his constitutional authority in refusing her request to drop charges against some counter-protesters charged with minor infractions, like disorderly conduct. In his decision, Gaziano agreed.

“The prosecutor’s sole authority to determine which cases to prosecute, and when not to pursue a prosecution, has been affirmed repeatedly by this court since the beginning of the nineteenth century,” Gaziano wrote.

In total, judges rejected motions to dismiss in seven related cases; Rollins said her office will now re-review those cases in light of the decision. 

In addition to dropping charges, as  DA Rollins originally intended, I think that she should file a complaint with the judicial review board, because this guy is completely nuts.
