And, once again - I am validated:
Man Framed for Child Pornography
The AP article (thus I won't quote out of it, lest I upset the AP folks), discusses the falsely accused, the stigmas, how it can happen - and that the justice system will, in the end - send the to hell. Why? Because this is America. This is the land of the Free. This is the land of fair and equal justice.
Not..... This is the land of justice for hire.
As the mother of one who has been through this and lost because he didn't have fifty thousand or more to fight this, knowing my son's innocence to be a fact, I can assure you - that the hatred and stigma out there forces innocents to fight and lose, or take pleas and spend their lives paying for it. But, once they've taken a plea - whether it was to protect the ones they love or not - even if science finally proves their innocence - the system won't ever give them that satisfaction and the public will hate them forever. That's the fallacy of the system. It takes nothing more than circumstantial evidence to send even the most sincere of innocent people to prison, and it takes a miracle to help them through it. I can guarantee you, because of the number of people that say, "burn that witch," because they, themselves, have not gone through this - this will keep happening.
There is no innocence project in Oregon to help them like there is in California. There is no accountability on the part of the DA's office. Oregon happens to be one of the few places left in the entire WORLD, that believes in grand jury indictments (no filtering of the grand jury members and permissible levels of presenting false information to them by the prosecution while the defense gets no say). If you don't believe this can happen, then you haven't learned enough in life yet and you're naive. And, for that, I fear for you. Guard everything - password everything - but know that even then, the police are allowed to lie, the prosecution is allowed to convict you without evidence that you were there, and it's just as easy to take a fall, as it is to set someone up to do it. Trust me - the several years that we've battled this situation has educated us to what we didn't know was possible. Like many of you, I would have said, several years ago, burn them; or there's more to it. Now I know. No one will listen because of the stigma. The governing authorities and courts of this state will not help, and innocent people sit in prison, and/or on offender lists, hated by their peers, unable to get their lives back in order, because our society is still full of superstitious witch hunters.
I can only pray to God, that He will continue to be there for our family, and the gentleman listed in the above referenced article - because right now - it will take an act of God Himself to bring truth to the justice system. Especially, for those with indigent defense - because while they may be great attorneys, they are overwhelmed with cases, underpaid for their work, the State will NOT provide for adequate defense experts (and that's a fact you can take to the bank), and they also have to overcome the stigma of a system prosecuting innocent people - abusing innocent children in the process. I pray that those of you who read this article, may have open hearts - may do the research - and before you pass any judgment - learn what you can. Go onto youtube and search for how these people hack wireless routers, see what these hackers do and see how they offer information to ANYONE, on how to hurt others. Watch the 5 to 10 minute videos on 'how to' do this terrible, and unforgivable act. Know that the Attorney General in Oregon, fought the RIAA and stopped subpoenas of computers where they couldn't 'prove,' a person was in front of a keyboard; but the AG's office won't support that same position for anyone else.
And, finally - remember this: YOUR computer IS your identity. You have your email, your contacts, your account information, your passwords, and everything else on there. Unless you search every file, every day - how would you know what was on there? Can you name every directory? Do you know if the picture you saved to the hard disk was what it appeared to be on the internet - because that, too - can be changed by sick pedophiles trying to hurt innocents. Look up defense attorney websites, defense forensic investigator websites and see for yourself, what the truth is. You may not have much 'worth,' stealing - but your identity is INVALUABLE. That's WHY there's antivirus/spyware/spam software; that's WHY airports tell you to guard your bag from someone else using it, and that's WHY you MUST be paranoid - because they will take the identities of innocents, not guilty people. They will harm those who believe they are exempt from it - because that's their challenge, and that's their mission. And, when it happens - when it appears to be that you're a witch - it will be to drown in the river to prove your innocence - welcome to the American Justice System, date: 2009.
You don't have to like your government to be a good American, you just have to love your country.
