    Amazing how they handled their case properly for the wage slave and got a conviction too…

    While here they mishandled the case for a rich parasite?

    How does this always happen haha

      If they wanted to let a rich person walk free they could have simply refused to prosecute

        That would be make the prosecutor look very bad in such high profile case.

        “Technical fumble” allows them to save face.

          Technical fumbles hurt them professionally a lot more. This was a pretty bad fuck up.

            Well then it must have really been worth it then.

            I am not saying this case is one way or the other but y’all acting like it is definitely not corruption when statistical analysis indicates that wealthy perps get away with murder.

            At some point, people start to notice.

              Sure. But also it’s the states job to prove a guilty verdict. And personally if they’re gonna pull this crap I’m happy the case got dismissed.

                The state clearly “tried”

          The prosecutor mishandled critical evidence which makes her look like a fucking idiot at best and corrupt at worst. There’s no saving face here.

            Alec walks is all that matters tho!

            Remember that guy that did epstein settlement in FL? His career went pretty well until he got caught with bunker removed nomination and it came out that he knew the facts and still settled.

              Very likely that the armorer will have her conviction overturned because of the same errors.

                I still think she fucked up, I am not going to change my mind on technically for either of them tho.

                Him being “an owner” and creating a culture where it happened in my opinion needs to be called out. This whole blame the intern bullshit is getting tiring.

                Owner is always “dindu nuffin mate” tho

                At the end of the day we sill have a dead person and state resources wasted, just losing all around.

      In the article it mentions how the evidence came to light after her conviction. I don’t know if that means her appeal changes because of this, but it seems to me like this evidence only affected Baldwin’s case and how the prosecution handled it.

      Expensive lawyers are better about using slip ups to get their clients free, but that doesn’t mean that the only difference between the two was money.
