Pedophile freed after jury determines photo evidence submitted by child's mother was faked

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.

Because he/she was more concerned with his/her public image in the eyes of their constituency. They didn't give a shite about anything else, they just couldn't look "soft" on stuff like this. It is horseshite, but that's how most of them are.

Some DAs are simply scum. They want convictions not justice.

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

Title had to be edited for length. "Man charged with..." was too many characters.

About ten years ago I learned of a case that has sickened me since. Man in Jefferson Parish was convicted of child rape and is now serving life without parole. No physical evidence whatsoever. Nothing except a girl saying it happened. His stepdaughter. Eventually she came out and said she made the whole thing up and was willing to suffer the penalty of perjury. DA said nah, tough shite, guy can die in prison. And that’s what the poor man will do.
It’s scary that a jury would convict on no evidence except an accusation. And sick that a DA would not care.

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.

You haven't known many crazy, vindictive women in your life, have you?
Far too often this kind of shite becomes a witch hunt. Almost always it comes from the female involved who, for whatever reason, believes she was wronged by the man. They will use whatever means they have to destroy the man, even their own children. This happens, more often than most of us know, and the woman rarely ever pays for the damage she has done.
It doesn't take a full-fledged trial with a guilty verdict and sentencing to destroy someone with stuff like this. All it takes is an unsubstantiated accusation, and our media will plaster the guy's picture and name all over in print and online. That same media will make minimum effort to retract or report on the ultimate exoneration, and that story will follow that man for the rest of his life. Meanwhile, the woman will just go on living her life. A District Attorney is supposed to be the buffer in cases like this. Sadly, they often are not.

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

Agreed.

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