This pic is priceless.

Just a few bad apples, right?

This little piggy is a LOSER

He looks like hes stolen some other stuff from the evidence locker too

"No charges have been filed..."

Shocked. /s

All cops are ..burglars?

[deleted]

So that's what happened to to the ring at Leunig's! I bet he stole it too, that poor waiter was framed I tell you, framed!

When are more folks gonna realize the cops are nothing but a state-sanctioned gang?

"No charges were filed*

And people still ask why I assume that the cops have criminal intent.

He looks like a turtle in a sheriffs hat

Davis Sleigh is a savage defense lawyer and will probably get him off. The cop is lying through his teeth but since is no physical proof he will get an aquitial if they even bother to charge him at all.

> “In fact, what they’re saying is that the watches are the same (and) as far as I know, they have no proof of that at all, and so this really is a situation from my point of view, that innocent coincidence has led to this,”

Funny just a few weeks back I was getting shit for saying this guy should have been fired. Waa he deserves paid leave and special privileges the rest of us non police union suckers don't get. Get fucked bootlickers:)

Took a few classes with Sleigh and yes he is savage I would hire him in a heartbeat if I was ever in trouble. He also does lots of volunteer work gitmo prisoners and the like. Savage but a real decent guy as well.

I go back and forth but that is my own issue with the legal system as setup. It seems to turns verdicts into a game.

Sleigh does give back a ton, he is at a human level a great guy, my issue is how he reconciles that with getting people who he knows are guilty as fuck off due to loopholes and gotchas in the legal system.

It's the profession I don't blame him for doing whats he's good at. While I don't like this cop good defense attorneys keep the prosecution and police honest at times. If only poor folks had better access to people like him.

Yeah, that the argument I hear from lawyers when this discussion comes up. I understand that point of view, I just disagree.

Did he get to keep the Rolex?

Meet your newest VT sheriff

There's a quote from "the war on drugs" podcast that goes something like "cops have way cooler words for things than we do. What we would call 'getting robbed' or 'a jack move' they call 'civil asset forfeiture'"

Check out the wrongful conviction podcast. There are people who have been wrongly convinced of murder with less evidence than there is in this case.

This is my moral hangup when it comes to the death penalty. We all or we should all know by now how much police lie and coverup their shit. With all the exonerations there has to be some who were not guilty. Hard to imagine executing an innocent man or woman but I would bet it has happened. Off topic kinda but still.

> I just disagree.

Wow without name calling. A first for Reddit:)

Sorry forgot where I was for a minute. You can pick from the following:

I can insult you with made up facts then block you so you can't respond.

I can put words in your mouth and then respond to that.

I can infer your politics and make a direct comparison between you a Hitler or Putin.

I can make a joke about your sexual preference and then insist it's not really homophobic and it's about "power"

Just let me know, I'll try to do better next time.

:)

How about all of the above? That would be typical anyways. Thanks though this brought me a decent chuckle:)

We're almost at 200 people exonerated from death row. 200 PEOPLE on death row, that were found to be entirely innocent. I used to be pro death penalty, now I'm totally against it until we (probably never) fix the system. The judicial system as a whole is in ruins, studies show that almost 10 percent of the prison population is innocent of the crimes they're in there for. Even if it's 2 percent that's too much. There's so much that feeds into it. Tunnel vision, "expert" testimony by people who don't have any legitimate accreditation, speaking on opinion or myth. Public defenders who are overloaded and don't care about their clients lives, and juries that don't understand what reasonable doubt means.

Cola?

200 Fuck that's heartbreaking. I had thought less if it's 200 now imagine how many others there are grrr. Only way I could support it now is if it was voluntary. The points you make thought are pretty spot on in regards to juries and general courtroom failures. Guys like this cop have the cash to afford David who will call this stuff out in real time while most of us get stuck with some poor PD with 200 cases who might run for prosecutor someday. Meanwhile the prosecution has just about unlimited resources. Got no answers really it's a pretty entrenched system favoring the state. This lawyer gets some bad guys off sure but I am of the old school belief that if a few get away and it keeps the police/courts in check for the vast majority of us then it's for the better.

Hahaha great pic of him. Looks like he may have sniffed something out the evidence bag

He will fit right in with Sheriff Grismore

Which one

Who needs a job?! I wonder if the Troopers have a backlog of candidates or what

OG recipe

Dude, didn’t you read the article, he bought it from a relative and returned it to them. Totally different watch.
