Think it's pretty clear that the onus is in the wrong place.
No ****ing way. Yes, our justice system rewards 'winning'. That does not make ignoring/hiding exculpatory evidence ok. The line is not blurry there.
Re: the bolded - that might make it worse! Just a disgusting display and he deserved more than a day in jail iyam.
