Mr. Aitken will eventually have his conviction thrown out, just like accused day-care-molester Margaret Kelly Michaels who served eight years in prison on an equally absurd set of “facts”. But he will never be compensated for the injustice he has suffered. That’s Jersey!

If a law is sufficiently complicated that people have trouble complying with it, it should be repealed.

I agree with your emphasis. Look, the woman has been inundated by Liberal B. S. I was thinking the same thing, but I’ll cut her some slack. I’m sure she’s realizing what an enemy the state is about now. This is actually an excellent object lesson to everyone.

That is an insane story. The crime shouldn’t even be a crime in light of McDonald, and yet it still reads like a conspiracy to make him look guilty. I hope he gets released and the law changed.

What people don't stop to think about is that when you willingly consent to a search, you essentially waive away any defense. You're then looking at a guilty or a no-contest plea for whatever they may come up with to charge you over. A 'gotcha' moment waiting to happen.
