The sad thing is, his case is not unique. Way too many people are convicted for crimes in the same way where some "cell mate" has heard the other person confess to crimes, and then the "informant" gets rewarded.

We seriously need to change how things are done especially in cases where the only evidence is from incentivized informant testimony.

If the Missouri governor won't pardon him, shouldn't Biden be able to pardon him? Hopefully enough noise is made that he takes notice.

Unfortunately we've all seen this play out before where someone who can prove they are innocent is still executed.

Here's a good documentary on what's going on:

From the looks of it, the best chance you have to escape is before they get you to the river. So if you ever find yourself in a situation where you're travelling for a job in one of these countries, be aware of the signs, and escape before it's too late.

So, if you get picked up from the airport and you're supposed to go to a hotel only 10 min away, but that turns into a drive for a few hours, do whatever you can to get out. Anywhere is better than the destination at the end of that drive.

Cheers! I just realized that I also typed it wrong initially so that you lost other limbs. I edited the other comment with the correction.

Here, you dropped this \ To prevent anymore lost limbs throughout the fediverse, correctly escape the arms and shoulders by typing the shrug as

Edit: Fixed missing arms as well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've got to say, I'm disappointed in Lemmy for the amount of upvotes you're receiving for a comment as sickening as this.

Killing someone just for revenge should never be the answer. That's the kind of tactic that makes dictators and fascists what they are. The desire to watch something like that is even more alarming.

Always great to have an actual lawyer weigh in on something like this.

[Meyer] also expressed frustration that Cody is the only official expected to face criminal prosecution.

“What I feel is going on here is that he’s been set up as the fall guy,” Meyer said.

Circular reporting is just one thing that can make this more difficult. Checkout the cycle in this xkcd:

Found the whole thing that includes when they are walking out on stage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgod-nqFEEc

Edit: There was a bit of hot mic somewhere nearby so you could hear a little bit before he sat down:

RS: "Hi Mister Trump, just take a seat over there, thank you."
DT: "Uh, how are you? How are you?"
RS: "Good"

Music dies and mic turns on:

RS: "Mr President, we so appreciate you giving us an hour of your time. I want to start by addressing the elephant in the room, sir. A lot of people did not think that it was appropriate for you to be here today. You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals from Nikki Haley to former President Barack Obama saying..."
