Your daily reminder this should be the biggest scandal in American politics right now but nobody seems to care.
Ken Paxton freed a man who raped a boy for 3 years. He also doesnt have to register as a sex offender.

Critics are pointing to two other serious felony cases that the attorney general’s prosecutors took to trial that ended in mistrials and, eventually, plea deals.
[In the case of the Broadview defendants] The evidence didn't even support an indictment.
That means there was no crime committed.
And bleating on social media that crimes were committed is defamatory.

If you’re in Belfast please stay safe. Word is there’s going to be riots in Dublin tonight too. Stay inside.
I see people posting (to Facebook), "Prosecutor misconduct doesn't mean they didn't do the crimes."
Allowing cops to violate the US Constitution as policy leads to cops breaking the laws the courts actually support.
That is, legal thinking should be moving toward enforcing the Constitution, not creating new loopholes.
If the courts suppress evidence b/c it was acquired unconstitutionally, the accused might have done the crimes, but not be guilty in a criminal court.
But, the Broadview case... the activists were on much stronger footing.
