        The most loud evidence since the arrest was the backpack with the gun and the manifesto. Except it was known pretty soon that the cops botched the ‘chain of custody’ for the backpack, as some officer had the backpack in her sole possession for an hour before delivering it to the station.

        I keep being baffled as to why I don’t see any news about this evidence being thrown away. Maybe it was dismissed from the trial right away, idk.

          You’re saying the backpack was ruled inadmissible? If so that is certainly a big deal, maybe bigger than possible jury nullification.
