Look up mumia abu jamal. My memory is hazy, but tldr he's a black panther in the 70s in philly and a cop gets shot on the same block while he's there. every bit of evidence is against him being the perp, and the courts even acknowledged the police tampered with evidence (!!!), but he just managed to get a death penalty commuted or some stupid shit like that, to a life sentence about 10 years ago.

don't get tangled up in the criminal court system if he cops do toilet you.
