Hope the rest of the trial goes with as much sense as this
That's huge. That was a big charge and the prosecutors really wanted it.
Hell yes. Now the guy just has to keep them from proving he did it. Honestly feels doable
I for one was marathoning Mario Party with him that morning. All the best people are saying it!
That's a great idea. Mario Kart drive me to freedom
I mean it's super super tenuous that he did it in the first place. Again they ethier got him through illegal means or just framed a guy and both feel equally likely in this case with how hard the prosecution keeps dropping the ball.
It's been fishy from the start.
I understand why they tried to throw those charges in, but I don’t like the inconsistency of doing so.
I agree this is a sensible outcome.
Because the Justice department is being run by headlines and idiots.
Amen - thank you, yes!
Is it normal for judges to make comments that are worded like the defendant is guilty?
Right? I thought that was odd, too.
They should have said something like, "The prosecution hasn't established a motive for the crime to justify a terrorism charge," or something similar.
But I'm not a lawyer, so it's possible (maybe probable) that it's fine to reference the defendant's motives in reference to the prosecution's claims.
The only people without such animus either work for the industry or are shareholders.
It's good to see things simmer back down to reality after all the inflammatory politically-motivated accusations. Everyone deserves a fair trial.
