Possesion of cp. When they clearly could show that he had none. Hmmm. How did this happen? No review of any evidence in a court room?

Sounds like a bunch of shitty jurors just decided to blindly say guilty. No evidence? Well, I’m just gonna side with the police because they’re gonna protect the world, right? Fucking disgusting

No one wants to verify that evidence. No one wants to actually look.
Well okay a few want to but like, they need help.
