U.S. District Judge Henry Herlong also asked why federal prosecutors didn't seek charges against one of their star witnesses, who in testimony admitted to dealing drugs and being high on methamphetamine on the night his girlfriend and his 15-month-old son died in a Greenville hotel fire that Hans set.
