I don't know why you insist on summarizing this case (again) when it's clear you can't be trusted to honestly reflect both sides.

Folks, ignore him, and just read the appeals court decision. They lay it out pretty clear and isn't hard to understand.

Because what's at stake here is the legitimacy of the government.

The message of this article is : "Innocent man stays behind bars for 20 years. Prosecutors are monsters".

And people buy this wholesale. Just read the other comments in this thread.

When people hear this time and again, and then they enter their echo bubble, the conclusion is that the US government is not any better than Putin's gang of thugs.

Folks: whenever you read about an "innocent" man wrongfully serving 20 years in prison, spend 15 min on Google to see if there's more to the story. We do not live in Putin's Russia.

Right, because you chose to mislead the people in this thread by cherry-picking one heavily disputed fact from many to hinge your argument to make it look like he's still guilty.

When you're no longer an "honest broker" of the facts you no longer deserve anyone's time or effort to debate you on the facts.
