How insane would it be if he got off due to a technicality. Not holding my breath, but here's hoping.
Not really that insane. Cops are mostly useless and fuck shit up all the time.
Mostly. Have a look at this chart to see their real impact.
10/10
Alec Baldwin got off because of screw-ups like this. Seems like when there's a high profile case, all the big shots who normally don't do any work all want to jump in and be involved. And then make stupid mistakes because they don't have any real experience because they're normally too important to work a case.
On the flip side, if they illegally discover evidence but can prove an alternative, legal, way it could be discovered it becomes admissible. That's sometimes why they do it.
It has a word too, something like Alternative Reconstruction. I used to know the term.
"parallel construction" or "evidence laundering"
"buttering the goose"
Civil rights aren't a technicality. If he 'got off' it would be a victory for everyone who enjoys not being harassed by police.
It may be a great way for the state to avoid a "not guilty" verdict.
His getting off a technicality doesn't make it clear he has support.
