The Warrant

[admin]

Blame yourself for not asking to see the warrant

This isn't true, the burden isn’t on the defendant to request the warrant—it’s on the state to ensure its valid. And the warrant was later quashed, proving it was flawed.

It was based on probable cause from the judge.

Also not true, the judge made a preliminary finding at arraignment, not a final ruling. That probable cause was later undermined by the website confirmation I didn’t make the post, witnesses reporting threats continued while I was in jailed.

You lied to the cops and posted threats on Twitter.

There is no evidence of threats or lying. A vague comment on twitter cannot be considered a threat; there is such thing hyperbole.

Only what was known at the time matters.

Not true, future exculpatory evidence can retroactively invalidate probable cause, especially if the original affidavit omitted key facts (Franks v. Delaware). When they got the documents from the hate and Flame website on March 30th that showed I was not on that site, they lost probable cause.
