Yeah they had no proof, knew he hadn't used that Kik social network, had him do his full term before he event got an appeal, treated what ab best if done correctly might have been a clue as a proof... They didn't make a mistake, they didn't care to not make one.

But surely now that justice has recognised that someone has had 18 months of his life stolen with no legitimacy whatsoever they're gonna enact reforms and indict the cops, prosecutors and judges responsible right? right?

I don't get how law people involved in something like this can even live with themselves afterward. The fact that they don't resign out of shame is criminal

They got a conviction. Who cares that it was overturned?

I've known some DAs

They lie to themselves and others constantly to justify their actions, and get extremely angry at anyone who points out anything ever in any way. Or, they openly hate most people. It's like being around a glass of nitroglycerine.

"They had similar usernames, he's probably a pedophile too, he deserved his sentence and I'll lock him up again if his name crosses my desk. He's on thin ice."
