Charges filed by the incomparable Angela Corey, of Zimmerman trial fame.
I am unclear why the article doesn’t mention that the DA might have some responsibility to be sure they’re charging the right person.
I was also rather appalled to find out that it was 35 days before the (wrongly) accused was given any details of the charges against him.
Luckily my last name is so unusual this would be very nearly statistically impossible to happen to me.
Another frightening fact is that Corey’s office charged him as an adult with child rape with no physical evidence at all. Obviously any comparison of DNA evidence would have cleared him, which means the entire case was based on one person’s claims. What protocols are in place to guard against false allegations, which are known to happen regularly? Or dies Corey just take everything at face-value and not ask questions like that?
