- purchaceallsus 6y agoDid you read the affidavits? They include statements of fact, not just "I felt it was wrong." They can therefore be disproven with material evidence. If they are disproven with material evidence then that person will go to jail.
- tunesmith 6y agoThis does not imply that "If the person does not go to jail, then the person was telling the truth."
