After this was pointed out, prosecutors took another look. They agreed that Klayme’s appeal should be allowed. Had the case been properly investigated, the court says now, evidence “would have identified an individual whose first name is Jay whose IP address appears to be in California.”

Apparently the prosecutor has no responsibility to ensure that evidence is real before arguing it in court?

Hopefully this guy at least gets some serious cash for this fuck up.
