My son did 8.5 years for a petty theft turned Robbery 1 because the cops/DA lied. It can definitely happen.

I hope he got a MASSIVE payout

Nope. He doesn’t want to sue. They tried to pin more charges on him, so he moved cross country.

that's utterly sucks mate, sorry for you and your kid like. DA lying should be enough to get the fucks locked up themselves.

Thanks. When I told them I was getting a lawyer, they said “we got him a real lawyer!” It was the prosecutor that represented him.

This DA has been in trouble recently; so I’m going to call the innocence project. But my son was basically followed by feds, drones, etc till he left Maui.

What's upsetting is that I don't blame him for not wanting to use cuz the chance of winning against them is slim and even then what u win would probably be less than what u pay for the lawyers and all that

And DAs are hardly ever held accountable; that means ALL of their cases come under scrutiny. The judicial system can’t afford that.

Exactly they lose one case every other case comes into question so redoing all of them would take too much time and money
