- late2part 7y agoLast time I plead innocent for a speeding ticket, the clerk asked me to sign a blank form, which they would later fill in for me (!!!!).
- yardie 7y agoUnbeknownst to me I had been driving around on a suspended license for 6 months. The traffic ticket I had paid was never entered correctly. Apparently my hobbies include giving courthouses free money. I walked into court with a copy of the cancelled check. The clerk's record showed the receipt with a big PAID stamp on the digital copy.
- jdblair 7y agoDid you do it?
- late2part 7y agoheck no, had to go back and sit in court to get judge to proclaim things for them to put in form for me to sign.
- duahncjak 7y agoIf this happens to anyone, see if you can get permission to record it.
- umvi 7y agoI did watch that but the documentary seemed very biased toward the defense. Like... Avery's dna was found in the victim's car, and the victim's charred bones were found in Avery's fire pit. But the show plays these off and makes it seem like a police conspiracy.
- Redoubts 7y ago> Like... Avery's dna was found in the victim's car, Yeah, smeared blood that looked like it came from a q tip. And a vial of his blood in the evidence locker was found punctured by a syringe with no record as to when or why. Not surprised that was looked at suspiciously.
- crummy 7y agoapparently the syringe punctures are just how they work. https://onmilwaukee.com/movies/articles/makingamudererbloodvial.html https://onmilwaukee.com/movies/articles/makingamudererbloodv... > two national experts – including the chair of the committee that writes the industry standards on drawing blood samples – told OnMilwaukee that such blood vials are supposed to have holes pierced in their rubber stoppers. According to the experts, that's how the blood gets into the vial.
- flyGuyOnTheSly 7y agoThere were undocumented broken seals surrounding the vial as well iirc, however.
- happytoexplain 7y agoWhy can't it be both? To me, the impression the show gave was that he probably did it, but that the police also faked evidence to increase the odds of a guilty verdict.
