I would not be so hard on CJ. Any obvious lies would be presented in court. For that matter, any musings CJ put up to the internet could be used against him.

He would just lose his entire life. That must be be tough, but he has a wrongly decided principle to argue.

Actually, its far worse than that. This entire thread is hearsay. It's admissible hearsay, however, insofar as his narrative of events is a statment against his penal interest.

So, he can't use this statement to help himself (self-serving out-of-court statements are inadmissible), but the prosecutor can ram it down his throat.
