Alternative title: "How to become a multi millionaire in less than 2 years."

Should that not be the job of a defense attorney? Surely the defendant knew he didn't commit that crime; so how come the defendant didn't look through the documents with his attorney and go "wait, this isn't right"? If not even the defense is competently representing its own interests, no wonder things like this happen.

I sure hope Klayme gets a big payout and the prosecutor, defender, and judge are all fired.

Fus Roh Damn that sucks

Unbelievable incompetence all round. If the credentials do not fit, you must acquit. He's like a reverse OJ

To those like me who are confused because Skyrim is single-player: it was a Kik username inspired by Skyrim

'found no evidence connecting him to the girl, the messages, or the images involved in the case.'

So the ONE piece of evidence was a username?? And he was convicted on that?

the underscore that costs an innocent man 18 months of his life

Yeah you really should be asking how the fuck you send someone to prison with zero fucking evidence of them committing a crime.

Surely bare minimum is that several people in the legal system need to be losing their jobs over it. If not facing criminal negligence charges of their own.

Outrageous this even happened to begin with.

it is this rife lazy shit right here from cops, prosecutors and anyone who should know better and are paid to know better is why im always correcting people on the spelling of my name even if it is one letter off.

The underscore was an SCP

notheonion?

Incompetence all around.

That account led investigators to Klayme’s email address and IP address in Nova Scotia. Halifax Regional Police later searched his home and seized phones and laptops, but found no evidence connecting him to the girl, the messages, or the images involved in the case.

Klayme was still convicted of three charges in April 2023. He received an 18-month prison sentence in January 2024 and served the entire term.

Guilty until proven innocent, according to the article. Wow.

Some fonts make it hard to distinguish

• fus__ro_dah / fus_ro_dah
• fus__ro_dah / fus_ro_dah

That’s somewhat excusable.

However putting someone in prison after finding zero evidence is not excusable. Public prosecutor and judge must be held liable.

I guss they didn't get the memo that it's innocent until proven guilty

Another win for mass surveillance.

Brazil movie explained it well.

... What the fuck? Okay i know pigs should be turned into bacon as a general rule, but this is especially stupid. How in the fuck did they even get the messages but then get the wrong user name? It is more work to get the incorrect name!
