So true... but that’s the point. They did not have to be proven INNOCENT. They had to be proven GUILTY and from what I can see from the story, there was not enough manufactured evidence and testimony available to be able to “prove” that lie.
“from what I can see from the story, there was not enough manufactured evidence and testimony available to be able to “prove” that lie.”
What you mean is “prove that lie TWICE”.
I see nothing here that admonishes them either. Looks like a family with a drug history.
Did you even read the whole article? The single conviction was a plea deal when RESIDUE was found in a car Sammie Davis Jr. was in... and had no drugs found on HIM. The 72 grams of crack was found in the room the (now) son-in-law was staying and he called it HIS, not his (now) mother-in-law’s... and the gun belonged to HIS mother. No guilt and no admonishment needed. They are NOT a family with a drug history. The persecutor needs a nice long bath in a vat of boiling Crisco. READ THE WHOLE STORY before commenting.
I read the whole story. There is a common theme throughout it. Drugs and trouble with the cops.
The authorities over-stepped their bounds, no doubt. They did not, however, pick a wholesome family out of a hat to set up. This family has a history of involvement with drugs and police involvement.
