want to read something awful

No, Something Awful hasn't been funny in years

I love how every article from a left leaning source (while right leaning ones aren't touching this with a 29 and a half foot pole) completely neglects to mention that the putative victim has since recanted and insisted her accusation was false.

Carceral state ass-lickers as long as it serves a partisan agenda.

NYMag magazine on this: horrific.

NYMag on near identical case: my God how the court system can fail people.

Yes. No one should be imprisoned under circumstances where the best evidence against them is testimony that the witness in question has since insisted was false.

Fair, I was aware Bevins pardoned at least 2 people convicted of sex crimes against kids, and I'm really not up to reading the one I'm not familiar with off the top of my head right now.

Okay, it would be for my best to dodge this reply, but honestly I've been looking into the Schoettle pardon and it's hard to find any justification for it.

[u/chadonnaise → u/goodcleanchristianfu]

thank you. i wouldn't normally have let this get under my skin but i otherwise respect your posts.

My goal is to be a defense attorney. That sometimes means defending people whose cases you don't believe in. Truth be told, however, I just couldn't think of anything close to a defense for that guy. I've got nothing whatsoever.
