two charges, the indictment shows — one count of receipt of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.
So how can there be two charges?
If he received it he had to be in possession of it
and if he was in possession he had to have received it???
In crime in America today, everything is broken down into pieces, so if they dont get you on one thing, they will prosecute and get the next fraction.
Fo r example, at the post office yoiu are asked to verify that the package that you mail does not contain certain things.
If it does, they may get y ou on mailing one of those certain things, and will have proof that you lied to them.
Once cannot lie to the government.
One count also means there was one pic or video. He should be punished for it, because its disgusting, but uh...Hunter Biden’s laptop, anyone???
Receipt has to do with sending or receiving an illegal product either through the mail or the internet. It’s a seperate criminal act.
