How insane would it be if he got off due to a technicality. Not holding my breath, but here's hoping.

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 79 points 5 months ago

Not really that insane. Cops are mostly useless and fuck shit up all the time.

Mostly. Have a look at this chart to see their real impact.

On the flip side, if they illegally discover evidence but can prove an alternative, legal, way it could be discovered it becomes admissible. That's sometimes why they do it.

It has a word too, something like Alternative Reconstruction. I used to know the term.

"parallel construction" or "evidence laundering"

"buttering the goose"

Civil rights aren't a technicality. If he 'got off' it would be a victory for everyone who enjoys not being harassed by police.

It may be a great way for the state to avoid a "not guilty" verdict.

His getting off a technicality doesn't make it clear he has support.
