My point is that the part about the prosecutor only applies to the last part of the sentence. It’s the newspaper doing an “allegedly” thing. He was sentenced to life for these crimes that the prosecutor says he did. That way if it turns out he didn’t actually do it and later goes free, the newspaper will be less likely to get sued for libel.
The article later goes on to talk about how he was convicted by a jury and sentenced to life by a judge.
That’s a strange thing for the judge to dismiss the case over when it’s about the constitutional right to bear arms and not marijuana. There’s a lot of things that we don’t have an enumerated right for that this logic opens up for banning. Can we ban all pickup truck owners from owning guns? They should’ve bought a sedan if they wanted to be allowed to buy a gun.
