It is outrageous that he could be convicted on absolutely zero evidence beyond a username "match" anyway! This case had way more problems than just a damn typo!

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?
