I always thought it would be tough or dificult to get a female officer to go along with the whole “I’m a hooker” thing,perhaps the bar is lower than I thought.
You fool! Actual crime isn’t important. What Columbus needs to do is dispatch a crew of several officers to a park for several hours to keep their binoculars trained on a man’s penis.
Oh wait...
Just take a leisurely walk to any public beach and you will find that most of those willing to bare their assets aren’t worth looking at.
Reminds me of a leper colony at times.
Just to make this case look as stupid as it seems, I'd be asking for all the evidence and re-enactments in the courtroom.
The sex crimes defenses are expensive.
I believe the lawyers are behind this stuff.
It was not the lawyers fault in this regard, unless he failed to ask for an entrapment instruction. It is the Judge who issues the instructions to the jury before deliberation. The Judge's instruction would be something to the effect of
"The Court instructs the jury that where a person has no previous intent or purpose to violate the law, but is induced or persuaded by law enforcement officers or their agents to commit a crime, he is a victim of entrapment and the law as a matter of policy forbids his conviction in such a case.
The judge apparently refused to instruct the injury on this matter and they convicted him..so it should be an interesting appeal.
I would also add that the who defense case was based on entrapment since the article does not mention that there was a dispute whether or not he exposed himself. Therefore the judge probably instructed the jury that if they find beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed indecent exposure you must find him guilt of the charge.... Therefore without the entrapment instruction the jury was likely led to believe they had no choice under the law but to find him guilty. (Especially given that most jurors are not familiar with the concept of jury nullification)
Not really, it was German Village. Mecca of homo-ism.
That’s funny. How do you think undercover cops bust drug dealers?
Yessiree Bob.
If the undercover cop was in the park, asking folks passing by if they'd buy some drugs from them, it would be considered entrapment. The 'mark' did not initiate or propose the illegal act.
Last I checked, even mere possession of any sizable quantity of illegal drugs is illegal, and everyone knows it. So if you get a guy to deliver the illicit drugs regularly, you have probable cause. It’s typically not easy for the disinterested to acquire illegal drugs to distribute them, so entrapment doesn’t work here. If a police officer asked me for some illegal drugs, I can’t deliver. I could direct him/her to some part of town where such activity commonly occurs, or (if I knew one) to a person connected with such activity.
Don’t hurt yourself with that stretch.
By the way, a kid in Michigan got a 10 year stretch for just what you described in your last sentence. “Conspiracy” and all that.
Legal???????????????? Man, I know liberalism has degraded American culture to where it looks and behaves like swollen anus, but this is nuts! So I take my two young boys to play catch in the park and some topless wench is sitting in a “tree”?????” giving them an impromtu and unwanted anatomy lesson? How did they ever figure that one! Good grief!
BTW.....on further looking at the photo from the video, if she is sunbathing, why is she sitting in the deepest shadows of that tree?
If she is sunbathing, why is she sitting up talking to this guy in what appears to be a very friendly manner?
If she is actually trying to mix the preception of sunbathing with that of being a whore waiting for customers, she appears closer to the mark.
Besides the entrapment defense, he’d certainly be entitled to the ‘temporary mental incapacity’ defense.
An attractive woman, half naked, boobs out, rubbing up against you automatically incapacitates the male because all the blood rushes out of his brain and seeks a lower level, causing him to be helplessly brain dead.
And the police know this and used it against him.
Poor guy , he took the bait.
( Possibly the police officer in question....?)
omg........
