  Ah well I haven’t followed all those details. Prosecutorial incompetence is always a possibility.

    The most loud evidence since the arrest was the backpack with the gun and the manifesto. Except it was known pretty soon that the cops botched the ‘chain of custody’ for the backpack, as some officer had the backpack in her sole possession for an hour before delivering it to the station.

    I keep being baffled as to why I don’t see any news about this evidence being thrown away. Maybe it was dismissed from the trial right away, idk.

      You’re saying the backpack was ruled inadmissible? If so that is certainly a big deal, maybe bigger than possible jury nullification.

        The thing is, I haven’t heard that the backpack was thrown out of the evidence, which is what confuses me. But I’m only following the case via Lemmy and Reddit.

        if what slurpy says is true, it should be. doesn’t mean it will, the supreme court has ruled the police get a certain amount of whoopsies when it comes to your constitutional rights and you get zero
