Substitute Flynn's charges with another crime and it becomes even more clear how ridiculous this case is. If a person was charged with murder by the DOJ, but they later said more evidence has come forward that proves that he did not commit the murder, please dismiss the case, would Sullivan still try to sentence the person for murder? This is in effect what "Judge" Sullivan is doing.
Judge Sullivan: “Death penalty for Flynn!”
