40,000!!!! Sounds like Fatal Attraction.

This guy is amazingly lucky that an honest prosecutor managed to take over the case. If he got one who just wanted to pad their win stats, he'd be up the creek.

So I guess we'll soon be hearing about the charges his false accuser will be up on, right? Right?? Yeah, I won't be holding my breath either. In a just world, she'd be facing the same punishment he did.

Yup, not only the false accuser and even the police and the last prosecutor who hid all this have to face punishment.

This doesn't make any sense. Why didn't the victim who was likely the recipient of the texts submit them to his lawyer for an in camera review? Why didn't his lawyer submit a subpoena deuces tecum to recover them if made to third party recipients?

This is so simple. A competent attorney could get this thrown out in a week. So either the defense lawyer is grossly incompetent or the reporter doesn't know how to cover trials or competently report in them.
