Spy Case Dismissal

Re “Spying Case Tossed Out,” Jan. 7: To a layperson, throwing out the criminal charges against an alleged double agent is a drastic decision on the part of Judge Florence Marie-Cooper, especially when there is a witness to her presumed guilt of passing on sensitive documents to another government, while working for ours. It almost seems that prosecutors wanted and knew how to get these charges dismissed. In contrast, maybe Wen Ho Lee, another alleged [now exonerated] spy, should have received the same deference Katrina Leung has received from the court.
