quote:

Saginaw attorney Alan A. Crawford, who represented Nettles, said the allegations related to a now-12-year-old girl’s mother in September 2018 turning over a CD to police that she said contained an image of Nettles and her daughter engaged in a sexual act.

quote:

Nettles had been jailed since his arrest in April 2019. He was released from the Saginaw County Jail the morning of Saturday, June 12.


quote:

Despite what appeared to be photographic evidence implicating him, his attorney argued throughout the man’s trial that the photo was a fabrication, and jurors ultimately agreed.

The trial of 49-year-old Jonathan O. Nettles ended Friday, June 11, with the jury finding him not guilty of first- and second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a victim younger than 13, and possession of child sexually abusive material. First-degree criminal sexual conduct is punishable by up to life in prison, and the age stipulation requires a 25-year mandatory minimum sentence.


quote:

The mother also claimed she found the CD by breaking into a safe Nettles owned. No evidence was provided Nettles ever owned such a safe, Crawford said.

“What I told the jury in the beginning is this case is all about motivation, deception, and manipulation,” Crawford said. “What I closed with is, if it’s questionable, it’s unacceptable.”

Crawford argued the mother created the photo and fabricated the sexual misconduct allegations for personal reasons against Nettles.

Jurors deliberated for about two and a half hours before delivering the not guilty verdicts.

We don’t have experts that can examine a photo and tell if it’s been altered.

If not that is scary.

False allegations like this should be punishable by the max prison sentence of the innocently accused.

This woman deserves to be in prison for at least as long as he was. I know a guy that went almost six months without seeing his son because his ex and her attorney presented photos to a judge of horrible diaper rash as proof of his negligence. She worked for DSS and had taken the photos of another child the state had taken into custody. He finally was able to prove his innocence, but the damage was already done and not a thing happened to his ex.

Long story short, bitches be crazy and our judicial system embarrassingly favors females.

why did the DA even take this to trial?

quote:

Police interviewed the girl after her mother brought them the CD and she initially denied Nettles had abused her. Months later, she changed her account and said Nettles had indeed assaulted her, then gave various versions of how and when this alleged abuse occurred, Crawford said.

Crawford argued the girl had been coached by her mother, adding that at one point the girl testified her mother told her what to say while on the witness stand.

Shitty title. If he was exonerated than he isn't a pedophile.

Why or who would photoshop a pedophilia picture? Who stands to gain?

Why does your title say pedophile freed, if he isn't a pedo?

Next time the OT talks about killing pedophiles, remember that there are more wrongful convictions in those kinds of cases than all others combined. The mother should be incarcerated for a long time for what she did.

Maybe mom needs to be investigated for production of child pornography.

Change the title. The accused is a not a pedophile. But the mother needs to be prosecuted for falsifying evidence.

With all of the resources the DA has getting an expert to examine those photos should have been easy. It’s in excusable to take that to trial with our confirmed the legitimacy of the photos/.

So the jury says he's not a pedo.

Why do you call him one?

If it was fake then why are you still calling him a pedophile?

That’s a damn shame. Regardless of his exoneration, his life is still ruined.

I wish some evil and awful things on pedophiles but pulling some BS just to get the man put away is not how you go about it.

Don’t break into someone’s stuff just to get evidence

Change the title. The man was proven innocent and never a pedophile.

How about “wrongly accused man freed”?

Why the hell hasn't the title of this thread been edited?

OP surely read the article. He's not the one who made the initial accusation in the case, but publicly stating that the guy is a pedophile is a pretty shitty thing to do.

OP, are you really that big of a piece of shite?
