> The police violated department policy to identify the student who hurled a rock at another student. Allegedly. The article doesn't mention any evidence that he actually did. > "Per the record before this court, there is no additional evidence connecting the defendant to the alleged incident — no surveillance video to and from his home, no independent identification by others in attendance." No evidence. > "This case is premised on the complainant's word that he was the target of criminal actions by another person, and that other person was the defendant." Weak evidence (with potential bias.) > "The NYPD digitally altered the defendant's DMV photograph [...] never sought the metadata which would clearly indicate how, when, and perhaps by whom the photo was doctored." Manufactured evidence. > "That statement alone renders these medical records discoverable as possible impeachment material, necessitating their disclosure [...] Yet the People [...] have articulated no efforts to obtain these records" Withholding evidence from the defence. All in all, utter bullshit from the prosecution.
