Maybe Amy’s “aim” was off on this case. If so, she owes an innocent man a lot of money and of course the taxpayers will pay it, not her.
Amy “Rush to Judgment” Klobucar?
uh oh
If not this crime, probably guilty of something else in the past or the future. Glad he’s off the streets.
The information given about the case is quite damning for the authorities.
However, given that the victim and all the possible perpetrators, including the young man probably convicted wrongly, are black, I struggle to see a “racism” angle. I could see things going very similarly if everyone involved were white, Latino, or Asian.
Prosecutors build their careers on the backs of people who do not fight back. Many of them are innocent, but add to the prosecutor’s resume.
Amy Klobuchar Put a Teen Behind Bars for Life -- But Was He Innocent?
That's the wrong question. The measure of prosecutors is "did she get a conviciton?" Yes is a plus, no is a minus.
If an innocent person is found guilty, that's on the jury.
Jury's need to realize that prosecutors are by and large dishonest, numbers-driven hacks.
Klobuchar also had a scam prosecution of then Northwest Airlines pilots.
