A single cop framed dozens of innocent people and once a state attorney found the body camera footage from the arrests, the victims were vindicated.
Dozens of innocent people who were rotting in jail have been freed and their charges erased after the corrupt cop who put them there was
caught on his own body camera planting meth on an innocent mother. Jackson County Sheriff's Deputy
Zachary Wester has since been fired and a slew of lawsuits are now rolling in.
Wester's fall from law enforcement grace and the
119 people who were exonerated are due largely in part to the diligence of a single person, assistant state attorney at the 14th Judicial Circuit, Christina Pumphrey.
Pumphrey's job as assistant state attorney included reviewing evidence before moving forward with charges against individuals. When she began reviewing cases, she found something very peculiar.
"This is an exaggeration, but it felt like his (Wester's) name was on half the cases," Pumphrey told
The Appeal. "It was seriously disproportionate."
Comment: Imagine if a journalist for the NY Times had received this kind of treatment by conservative protesters. There would be no end to the cries of "FASCISM!!!" from the blue-check liberal media on Twitter. What we got instead were activists who happen to have jobs in media basically saying that Mr. Ngo had it coming. The reactions were documented by Anna Slatz of The Post Millenial: Progressivist "blue check" journalists celebrate the assault of Andy Ngo. It is fairly clear that leftist
journalistsactivists only care about the suffering of others if those people share the same political and social beliefs as they do. If someone isn't progressive enough, apparently it's ok to physically assault them.
