Dustin Bennett and the Estate of Joseph Carlos Arruda v. Natalia Scarpetti, John Aruda and

For 14 months, it didn’t seem as though there was a case too ridiculous for Jeanine Pirro to bring. Grand juries no-billed her office dozens of times . D.C. juries have acquitted her defendants at the drop of a sandwich . At one point, her office’s lack of faith in these joke prosecutions got so bad that she had to bring in a dance photographer to run a case . As the embarrassments in service of Trump’s whims mounted, you had to wonder: how low could Pirro’s office sink? As it turns out, roughly 30 inches. That’s the depth of the Reflecting Pool in Washington, and that’s the case that even Pirro’s zeal for the frivolous couldn’t overcome. Pirro’s office had charged a former Olympian with a federal crime as a patsy after the administration’s gross incompetence turned the Pool into a green mess , but as the trial drew closer, the lack of any evidence left the former judge staring down another humiliating — and potentially ethically fraught — defeat. She’d painted herself into a corner and, unlike the Reflecting Pool project, it wasn’t peeling up fast enough. Thus, she dismissed the case, admitting what everyone in touch with reality knew all along: the damage to the Pool came from the slapdash renovation effort.
