Doesn't look remotely like the guy in that original mugshot they were flashing around.
Right? This has bothered me from the beginning. He's not the guy in the footage who shoots Thompson, and it's obvious. But they need someone to take the fall as an example, to protect the rich.
If that was the case, wouldn't his lawyers have a better argument than "the cops gathered evidence wrong"?
There is wishful thinking, and our own biases about this case, but I feel like if the current story were true, we wouldn't be splitting hairs about Miranda rights. And to be very clear, from what I understand,supreme court precedent, specifically New York v. Quarles, it has been already established that you don't actually have to be read your Miranda rights if there is a public safety exception. I imagine that will be main counter argument.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this sounds like a weak argument from the people who have all the official details of the interaction and narrative they are pushing.
You seem more knowledgeable than I am on this subject, so I would imagine you are correct. It's just that the guy in the footage who shoots Thompson is clearly someone else. And I'm not the only one who thinks they look like entirely different people. I've been confused by how this case has unfolded so far, which could explain how I'm making speculations about why they might've planted that evidence. This whole case stinks.
