Lairmore had testified that the sandwich “exploded all over” his chest and claimed he could smell mustard and onions. But a photo showed that the sandwich was still in its wrapper on the ground after it hit Lairmore in his bulletproof vest.
So he perjured himself, then? Surely something’s going to come of that? No? Huh, okay, then.
So I was on a jury. The officer involved testified on some things that made it sound very bad for the defendant.
Then we saw the body cam of part the interaction. Technically what he said was true but extremely exaggerated. Made us discount everything he said that wasn’t on video.
We ended thinking the defendant was probably guilty but they didn’t prove it so we decided not guilty.
Thats how the jury i was on went but it was before body cams. Basically they said dude was “exchanging small packages for money” implying he was dealing drugs. The cops claimed he tossed the “small packages” when he drove off. They never collected these “small packages” so how do i know what they were?
We all thought dude was probably guilty but that the police work was too shoddy to convict. Cop looked pissed on the way out of court.
He also claimed he felt it through his Kevlar vest. Didn’t know sandwiches are more powerful than bullets.
Clearly this was a Subway sandwich with an armor piercing tungsten penetrator ingredient. Evidence submitted by the prosecution cited Subway corporation’s recent advertising campaign featuring the slogan “I can’t get enough of that tungsten!”. This branding campaign was, of course, a backpedal from Subway’s previous offering of a Depleted Uranium penetrator which was largely shunned by sandwich consumers as being ‘unhealthy’. /s
Cops do it constantly. TBH I’d chalk that level of bullshit up to them constantly using ChatGPT to write their reports now, except that they’ve been pulling the same bullshit forever and getting away with it nearly every single time.
I firmly believe that police officer testimony that can’t be backed up by bodycam footage shouldn’t even be admissible. There’s essentially no reason for a cop to not have their bodycam turned on at all times unless they specifically chose to turn it off, so there’s no reason we should have to accept testimony without it.
Wasn’t there a case of police officers badly beating someone and then claiming his blood stains on their uniforms were destruction of police property or some such?
I’m not aware of that specific case, but yeah that tracks. I’ve read about incidents where the cops were enraged about things like victims of traffic accidents or assaults by officers being soaked in blood, getting it on them, and stating that they ‘didn’t want to risk getting hepatitis/AIDS’ as justification for declining to provide lifesaving medical intervention. In some cases, the delay in care led to deaths, while they stood by, and weren’t censured by their departments.
They’ve been using seizures from acute health incidents and tazers both as justification for escalation of force because “suspects were resisting” for quite a while.
it is actually worth pursuing that…
even just posting comments about that on every news video about it on youtube would help.
we have a rare combination of undeniable, clear video evidence vs. sworn testimony in court that is unambiguously a lie.
There’s no real wiggle room on that.
Why not call prosecutors and annoy them? Or send letters to the judge?
You can’t really perjure someones opinions or recollections, only a direct and provable lie. He says the sandwich ‘exploded’ and he could smell sandwich contents. He probably got some amount of sauce or something on him, even if he didn’t, photographs can’t prove with any certainty it did or did not happen and you certainly can’t disprove he could smell onions and mustard.

If the sandwich did not split, you must acquit!
comment of the century.
You missed your calling in life. This comment would have blown up the legal world if said in court.
Im sad it wasn’t done.

To be fair he was a little bitch, and little bitches feel everything.
Is
Is a little bitch
ironic since they’re heartless
There is a big difference between being able to feel something and being injured by it.
It hit him right in the fee fees, and badly damaged his already fwagile mascuwinity.
You need special plating to handle those sub-sonic sandwiches.
To be fair, while wearing one you can feel someone lightly patting you on the chest. I’m sure he did feel it but no way on earth did it hurt.

It’s a feeling
Kevlar doesn’t stop feelings 🥹

This should result in a Brady-Giglio impairment for the cop since it happened in open court. He should be done as a cop.
Such a delicate flower, isn’t he?
More like a snowflake ❄️
