Why do you believe a Michael Moore podcast? He's an unstable left-wing nut who says a lot of silly and biased things. It doesn't make sense that some rogue judge could put a person under house arrest for more than two years without an Appeals Court ruling it's OK. Were there higher courts involved and what did they rule? What did the podcast say on this if anything? I'm not going to waste my time listening to a Michael Moore podcast.
If you don't want to inform yourself about this situation, that's fine, I'm not going to waste my time spoon feeding you information that's freely available. It's your country's judicial system, if you don't think there's a problem with private corporations taking over criminal prosecutions, then don't listen to this story, no skin off my nose. Given your past reverence of all things freedom and constitution, I would have assumed you'd care more.
The story has nothing to do with Michael Moore, he is just the guy interviewing the person in question about the legal troubles. All of the reporting is done by the guy himself.
As for your sentence "It doesn't make sense that some rogue judge could put a person under house arrest for more than two years without an Appeals Court ruling it's OK." THAT is the problem. A rogue judge has done that and is getting away with it. Why don't you care about that?
