In denying the motion, 22nd Circuit Judge Elizabeth Hogan said in her ruling that the request to vacate Lamar Johnson’s 1995 murder conviction was 24 years too late.

This is our legal system. It is built around the truthfulness of the prosecution, a quality defense, and the judgement of 12 jurors. After that, they have nothing built into the law to fix an incorrect, erroneous, or contrived conviction. Appeals are not about evidence, more proof, or anything like that. They’re…

Didn’t some network also do this with Patti LaBelle (was that when Aretha died)?

Reminds me of watching a basketball game on the telly, and the director put up a shot of one of the all-time greats sitting court-side.

Oh, they be cops. They have no problem breaking the chain, or breaking down the door. Claim they heard a girl. Or smelled some of the wacky weed. Thought the kid was choking...

To add to the ending, Florida modified the law in 2017 (post “hero” hernande) to change the burden of proof about self defense from the defendant to the state (so you literally could kill your brother in law in your house as he carved the turkey for thanksgiving, argue self defense and the state would have to prove…
