I don't disagree that the local judge might not throw the IDs out. Sadly, I see that happening more so on appeal, which will set another bad precedent for NC if the IDs stay and then Liefong loses the case. I hope there's a friend of the court or an interested public policy NGO that picks up that ball and runs with it if that happens. It should not stand, even if the boys are acquitted (assuming this ever gets to trial).
