Time to sue Wisconsin police dept for fucking that one up!! The Canadians did their job based on false information!
Maybe the Canadian police, but the Canadian court did not. They convicted him with zero corroborating evidence and without carefully comparing the chat logs with his actual account.
Where the heck was his defense attorney during all this?
no they did not. i would agree with you if all Canadian authorities did was search the computers but once they found nothing, it should have eneded. how do you convict a man with no evidence?
And real culprit is still our there free doing his thing. That's fuck up and I blame his attorney as well. Probably PD who didn't give a shit and was "forced to represent the pedophile "
Feel bad for man he didn't just lose 18 months of his life. But everything. His home, probably his job. On top of some people he knew will always look at him differently and some will believe he is guilty. He needs millions upon millions of dollars. But if we really want to fix this shit. Prosecute the judge, prosecutor and fucking police and give them just as much time.
Maybe then they think twice when trying to Prosecute an innocent person.
Probably under the assumption the data was deleted. But yeah, the fact a typo was missed by all is rough
Which is why allowing that sort of inference to be made, under any circumstances, is absolutely tyrannical.
The Canadians locked him up with zero evidence except the username.
The wrong username too!
