    That kid didn’t do it. They are railroading him too hard and committing too many procedural violations for it to be anything but a setup.

    Any normal case a judge would throw everything out for how prejudicial the state has behaved.

    The face they don’t care how blatantly prejudicial they are shows they don’t care if he did it or not.

    He didn’t do it.

    The CEOs wife had hmm killed for meeting his side piece there.

    The assassin was from El Salvador or something.

      All the photos look exactly like him tho… I mean is there is substantial evidence he didn’t do it? I fully support him, but I think it’s a stretch to say he was framed and the photos look nothing alike

        Are any of the photos from the crime scene?

        Because if you find a guy who matches “photo of guy getting coffee”, you still don’t have evidence that he’s a killer. You have evidence that he got some coffee.

        Innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt

        The misuse of evidence and the lead detective and mayor sharing evidence his lawyer hasn’t seen in a media campaign to impugn the man.

        There’s reasonable doubt in their earnest attempt at seeking justice here. They seem hellbent on violating his constitutional rights.

        I doubt they have the right guy. Reasonably

          Could those photos be ai generated?

          The only way we can be reasonably sure they are not is if we believe the prosecution is honoring their commitment to the constitution and acting in good faith.

          I do not believe they are acting in good faith.

          This means I have reasonable doubt on their entire effort.

          Justice is dead.

        There shouldn’t need to be evidence of his innocence, there should need to be an overwhelming amount of evidence proving he’s guilty. That’s part of the foundation for justice that courts are meant to uphold.

        Edit: mistype for spelling

        I think most of the people are pretty sure he did it. It’s just that the “it wasn’t him” defense is popular amongst the people that think vigilante justice should allow for legalized murder.

        If he actually did it, he should rot in jail like any other murderer. If it can be proven that he didn’t, he didn’t he should walk free. That’s how it should be. That is how civilized people work.

        And the people that think he should walk even if he did kill a man- just because of who that man is, they have become the very thing they hate.

        If only they would take a moment to understand this.

          I think you got it a little mixed up. The state needs to have it proven that he did in fact commit that murder, and not leave any doubt about it. It’s really not his job to prove anything, let alone that you can’t prove innocence in a lot of cases.

            Either way it doesn’t matter. The point is- if it is proven that he did it, he should rot. If it is found that he didn’t, he should walk.

            That’s how a justice system is supposed to work.

            We don’t decide who’s guilty or not based on how we feel about the victim.

              If the state can prove that he undoubtedly did it, he should be punished.

              If the state’s case is weak enough to leave some lingering doubts, he should walk.

              The defense doesn’t have to prove anything. Their job is to cast doubt on whatever the state claims.

              That’s how our justice system works.

                Why is this difficult for you to understand.

              By your very own argument, you are highlighting the important part that you are missing. What if the justice system finds out it doesn’t know. Justice is not boolean.

                IF HE DID IT, HE SHOULD ROT. IF HE DIDN’T, HE SHOULD WALK.

                Does every concept of every idea need to be explained around here? It’s a given in the above statement that if he can’t be found guilty- he should walk. Why does this need to be argued?

                My fucking god people need everything spelled out around here. For fuck’s sake.

                So from-

                We don’t decide who’s guilty or not based on how we feel about the victim.

                Your take is that I’m Rittenhouse.

                LOL…
