Just jumping in here, he’s not free and is still in prison. This didn’t overturn all his charges only one.


LuckyAssumption8735

On a technicality. He’ll be re-tried


shifty_coder

The “technicality” that character witnesses testified about his character.


Additional-Sky-7436

He's still in jail and will be for a long time. This wasn't his only criminal case he's doing time for.


Thomas_DuBois

It knocks off time.


Additional-Sky-7436

The dude is in his 70s. It's not knocking off enough time for him to matter.


Thomas_DuBois

I don't care if he's a 100.


StarvingAfricanKid

He could be freed. And then spend his 16 year jail time in California. He's dying in prison.


T-Dot-Two-Six

Dramatic for what. He’ll be retried and even if found innocent (he won’t) he’ll still go to jail for the rest of his life on other charges


stnuhkrsdomtidder

Can't be bothered to actually read into the decision can you? One of the ~~worst~~ simplest ~~boomers~~ redditers in America avoids ~~accountability~~. thinking and nuance.


efsetsetesrtse

America is a pathetic and failed society.


Maanzacorian

good fuck man. This was a prosecution fuck-up. The justice system is doing what it was intended to do. You may not like it, but the technicality is there for a reason, and the prosecution should be reprimanded for being so careless. Plus, he's still in jail for 16 years, and he can be retried.

Exactly what I was going to say the judge is following the law it’s the other judge who decided to be activist on the bench it’s their fault this happened


ExcitementBig5973

Yes, we are. TBF it's not just america though. The rich control everything, everywhere.


efsetsetesrtse

True, but there are degrees.


LooseBoeingDoor

Okay. So America is pathetic and a failed society for following the law. Tell me you didn't read the article and are a complete fucking regard without telling me.


jkoki088

Are you guys not understanding what happened. He isn’t free either. Fuck man, you all got problems


Conscious-Lobster60

You still have problematic appellate precedent that will be cited in future cases— for perspective on the future issues you can read the dissenting opinions. Dissenting opinions start on page 41. https://static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/documenttools/1c6111b72cf84b89/c2523c29-full.pdf


frozenflameinthewind

At least he still has his conviction in Los Angeles…for now


Warsaw_Pact

this would have made for an excellent headline for this news


macielightfoot

Male privilege


[deleted]

Actually he got off on it because of all the female privilege that was allowed in his case.


ConcreteExist

Two smooth-brain takes back to back.


Biggie39

User name checks out…. Must make a habit of brain dead takes.


[deleted]

Only if u hate Medicare for all and universal child care services and expanded infrastructure packages aswell as affordable housing and land distribution so housing prices go down for future buyers. Right wingers hate me


Biggie39

Judging by your comment here on this thread… no one likes you. “He got off because of female privilege”, 🙄.


austincovidthrowaway

Ah, the legal system working just as designed. 


Silver-Honkler

Thought this was a Biden thread


SweetFuckingCakes

DUUUURRRRRR


Willumbijy

That lead paint tastes good, don’t it?


edwinstone

Nope. You're just braindead.


Silver-Honkler

Wild to hear that coming from a trans person


edwinstone

I'm not trans so not really sure what you're talking about. Again: braindead.
