Even if a prosecutor tampered with the woman's weapon to make it functional, this injustice falls rather short of 43 years in prison
for a crime one didn't commit.
Important here is the distinction between "dismissal" and "pardon."
The "two idiots" case could have easily been handled by the former. The Strickland case not.
That's the issue, and not what you would do if a prosecutor tampered with evidence in the case of a BLM protestor.
I guess GM's lack of reading comprehension is contagious. Do you think you know everything there is to know about the other case? Do you think there just might be more to the story than what is contained in a probably page and a half article? If it was as cut and dry as stated why wouldn't the governor pardon the man? I'm sure someone like you will immediately go to racism, but maybe, just maybe, there's more to this story?
As for ranking tiers of injustice, we can definitively prove the McClosky's were the victims of gross prosecutorial misconduct. We know that because the DA's office admitted to it. Maybe that's the issue, and not your little buddy's outrage that someone would point out that victim's of gross prosecutorial misconduct should have their charges dropped. I guess when the facts aren't on your side outrage and thinly veiled accusation of racism is all you've got left in your arsenal.
Lastly, if the man in prison is indeed innocent then I hope he is released, but that has no bearing on the correct decision made in the McClosky case.
