anybody can be framed.
theres a reason a 23 year old guy shouldn’t be hanging around with a bunch of underage girls. let alone hanging around and getting them drunk/high.
when you do stuff like that it makes it much easier for some screwed up teens to mess up your life.
But isn’t the entire purpose of the Justice system to determine the TRUTH and punish the crime that was actually committed?
C’mon....300+ yrs for associating with underage girls!! Stupid, yes. Immature, yes. Where were the parents? All he’s guilty of is providing booze and drugs to underage girls. He should be tried for providing drugs and alcohol to minors - and give the same treatment you would give any other idiot who does the same thing.
We have no evidence, none, nada, zip. We have conflicting stories from the girls, we have witnesses who worked at the scene of a crime that the guy was accused to have visited EVERY DAY for a month - who have never seen him before.
And an ‘impartial jury’ found this man guilty; and a ‘judge’ sentenced this man to 317 years based on mere stories??!?
The purpose of the Justice system is to deal in facts, not stories ... hard, concrete facts. What may have happened, what could have happened is pure conjecture.
Now, if you wish to subject yourself to a Salem Witch Trial sort of court system, you are welcome to it. I however, dispise Napoleonic justice; and espouse the whole ‘innocent until PROVEN guilty’ approach. I see no proof offered.
