Puppet Prosecutor Jack Doyle
A Connecticut prosecution once framed as routine law enforcement has become a test of constitutional restraint. The case of State v. Boyne targets political speech, not criminal conduct, through prolonged process, disputed searches, and delayed disclosure of exculpatory evidence. At issue are core protections: the First Amendment, due process, and limits on prosecutorial power. The controversy raises familiar questions about Brady obligations, cross-border law enforcement, and whether the justice system is being used to punish dissent rather than prove crimes. As discovery deadlines loom, the case now stands as a broader warning about how easily state power can be stretched—and how hard it is to rein it back.
