Criminal says they're not guilty. Never heard that before
Guilty until proven innocent, definitely heard that one before.
I don't believe for a second that an intelligent criminal would be carrying around all this evidence that links them to a crime days later. He would have dumped the ghost gun immediately. It's way too convenient that the guy has absolutely every bit of evidence on his person at the time of arrest and that it's so specific to the crime and nothing else.
I never said that
I was a tradie and more than one of my rich customers was arrested and found guilty
The first one who pulled a massive scam spent months joking with people he was innocent and was adamant it was bs.. He started asking us all the best way to encrypt his communications too at one point (which was suss)
The silver bullet was when investigators found the computers at the school he was apparently operating weren't even plugged in. Yes, they were that stupid
Another one was my ex's bf who did lots of dodgy shit. Guy oozeed evidence
Yet another stole the security cameras outside a building. They took their hoodie off for a second and looked up at the camera, and then put it back on.
My point was, criminals will always tell you they're innocent. And yes, a lot of them do make mistakes. Police didn't plant a bunch of unplugged computer for my customer and it's entirely possible this guy called lots of cash
Trump is the perfect example. Just because they say they're innocent doesn't mean it's true. They possibly are. But them claiming they've been framed in my experience is meaningless.
There are lots of criminals I've personally come across who frankly are stupid enough to carry evidence. Yeah I'll get downvoted and I get nobody here gives a shit about honest discussions anymore, but in my experience, it's common.
So what does an innocent man say? "I'm guilty"?
Never said that.
Dumb comment
The innocent man also says "I'm not guilty" and my point is that anyone saying they're not guilty is not an indicator of whether they're actually guilty or not. An innocent person is just as likely to say "I'm not guilty" as a guilty person would be. So really the only dumb comments here are yours. You believe a false premise which led you to a false conclusion and instead of accepting you're wrong you're doubling down on that stupidity.
You're free to take your anecdotal evidence and believe stupid shit, but if you're going to say it out loud you better be prepared for the public dunking you're inevitably going to get, because while we can't make you not believe it we can tell you it's a stupid thing to believe.
Ohh look a bootlicker.
It's wild how you guys went to full Trumptard mode so quickly
I'm not kissing ass. I'm just acting normal, whereas people like you have suddenly gone full NRA. You're making us all look weird
Also, interesting that you've resorted to childish name calling. Reminds me a group of people
divisive politics bait spotted.
You're literally copying the Trump playbook. Just bully people you disagree with.
Justify it how you want I guess
