This evening, Hinderaker chooses to lie about the 2006 Hayes murder prosecution in his town.
He fails to inform readers that all but one of the supposed witnesses later recanted their testimony.
He fails to admit that there was no forensic evidence tying the then 16 year old to the crime scene. No video, and no gun was ever recovered, so no ballistics on the slugs that killed the woman in the shop. That is tragic — but that certainly doesn’t compel the inference that this particular 16 year old “did it.”
But he’s a Black man — and that’s all John sees, increasingly.
The prosecution never explained why no forensic evidence existed. Never explained — on later appeals- — why the witnesses had recanted.
It wasn’t until just a few years ago — after serving over 20 years of a life sentence, that the new prosecutor took a look at the case — and agreed that Hayes had been unjustly imprisoned for his entire adult life.
And yes, he’s received a $4.4 million settlement for that injustice.
But you may bet your last dollar that John won’t ever even mention Tangerine’s now derailed — conflicted and wildly corrupt — attempts to pay out $1.8 billion (and largely, in secret), to the J6 rioters who beat police offers senseless — among others. [Others like Michael Flynn and Roger Stone and Steve Bannon.]
Why? Because these thugs are overwhelmingly whyte — and were “his kind of reprobates“.
That’s why.
Out.
