Scumbag prosecutor. The greatest threat to civil Liberty is not the police, it is the prosecutors who are immune from liability even if they break the law and put an innocent person in jail. We must remove immunity from both prosecutors and judges.
- mcphage 5y ago> even if they break the law and put an innocent person in jail Which innocent person are you talking about here?
- xeromal 5y agoCosby is legally innocent. He made a deal with the state and the state lied. If the state doesn't keep its agreements, the government is a sham.
- mcphage 5y ago"Found not guilty" and "innocent" are not the same thing. "Conviction overturned because of prosecutorial mistakes" and "innocent" aren't even in the same ballpark. Nobody is questioning whether Cosby did it—the evidence at the heart of this is his admission that he did. The issue is whether that evidence could be used in his conviction.
- imbnwa 5y ago> Cosby is legally innocent I feel this captures the extent of what you're saying, unless we're making an implicit claim about "using the word innocent in this context has X,Y,Z societal side effects", etc etc
- mcphage 5y agoUsing the word "innocent" implies that they didn't do what they are accused of.
