Yeah this is why I did not say “innocent man”, I haven’t done a deep dive at all.
I would settle for “possibly innocent man” or “man whose guilt or innocence is extremely difficult to determine because of our fucked up system of justice but in any event should definitely not have been executed”.
For those following the Young Thug/YSL trial, there is a fairly decent chance the judge is about to grant a mistrial. She just went off on the prosecutor for misleading the court about what evidence they were going to present, and accused them of either being completely incompetent or purposefully deceitful.
Even if she doesn’t grant the motion, it’s probably only a matter of time given how fed up she is, and the fact that the prosecutors are going to do this again.
edit: Motion for mistrial denied, but judge excluding some of the evidence, and still not happy.
I have minimal experience with courts but one thing I’ve observed, and it’s not just these Trump cases, is that a lot of judges are fucking cowards. They will take the path of least resistance over what is morally right almost every time.
