"....James Yee was cleared in the investigation...."
"...After he was exonerated...."
Both of these are misstatements, unless one also believes OJ was also "exonerated"
"The fact that he was imprisoned for a prolonged period for remains indefensible."
If "no valid reason" is the truth and correct, he will soon bring a lawsuit, yes?
here is an article published the day the charges were dropped:

Right he wasnt cleared the charges were dropped. Prob screwed up the investigation or it was classified.
