The article warns against prosecutors overstating their cases during early litigation phases, potentially damaging their credibility with judges. It highlights the Justice Department's case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, which faltered despite a strong initial announcement from Attorney General Pam Bondi. A federal magistrate judge later ruled in favor of Abrego Garcia for pretrial bail, signaling a clear rebuke to the prosecution's assertions. This case exemplifies how overhyping can backfire and impact the legal proceedings negatively for the prosecution.

Earlier this week, a federal magistrate judge heard arguments and ruled that Abrego Garcia is entitled to pretrial bail. The judge's decision is a sharp rebuke to the prosecution.
