JACK DOYLE’S TOOTHPASTE DEFENSE: WE CAN’T PUT IT BACK

    Connecticut’s criminal justice system faces new scrutiny after claims that prosecutors bypassed rules of venue and ignored constitutional safeguards. State’s Attorney Jack Doyle has been accused of shifting cases between judicial districts without authority, undermining due process and raising alarms about prosecutorial discretion. Critics argue his reasoning—that errors cannot be undone because “you can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube”—is a dangerous precedent that excuses violations rather than correcting them. Now, questions are mounting about how deeply such practices have taken root in the Nutmeg State, and whether judicial oversight will step in to restore accountability.

    Timely Fashion

      Connecticut’s criminal justice circus has collapsed into the absurd. Judge Peter Brown, instead of addressing constitutional violations, now demands legal arguments over the meaning of “timely fashion.” Prosecutor Jack Doyle, earning $215,000 a year, can’t even file charges in the correct district, yet insists due process rights simply “expire.” Brown, described by critics as a “trained ape for his masters,” repeatedly refuses to specify the supposed criminal speech at issue. Protected political expression is rebranded as “stalking,” and the judiciary plays along. The case now hinges on semantics, not law—proof of a judiciary independent of justice itself.
