Marks observed, "The SPLC’s submissions stack speculation upon conjecture, relying upon hypothetical links in assumed chains to show prosecutorial vindictiveness."

For that reason, the doctrine of vindictive prosecution places a heavy burden on the accused, and decades of precedent counsels against its application here."
