But it seems this guy was pardoned by the governor. He didn’t win any court appeals.
Exactly. He was justly tried and convicted. He was given a light sentence to the great disappointment of the victim’s family. He was released for no good reason after just five months in jail. All in all this is a terrible miscarriage of justice and the majority of posters to this thread are unwittingly demonstrating just how this miscarriage came to pass.
