1640940406346240001 | @pamelacolloff @larabazelon The attorney general also argued ridiculously that the state didn’t know the criminal background of the victim and witness despite the fact that it was available through a simple internet search. Also disgusting. So much for protecting the rights of innocent people. | 7 |
