Raymond’s previous attorney, Joseph Long, argued at trial that Raymond was in the “crosshairs” of a culture war, and accused District Attorney Collin Sims of being “woke.”

Woah, that's a strong argument, my man. Against a dude who more or less tortures kids (it's been a while since I read about the charges and I didn't complete this article, as I was only interested in learning the new sentencing date, Dec 2). Set the man free! /s

"Culture war" and "woke" is just code for "won't let me be an unmitigated shithead and that hurts my fee fees"

“Sims treats everyone as if they are guilty until proven innocent and he is willing to manipulate the judicial system in order to pressure a defendant into accepting an unjust plea bargain.”

Not only is this normal and acceptable behavior in our legal system, but the system would collapse without it.

Right? Like, there's one person who's supposed to treat someone as if they're guilty prior to a verdict being delivered and that's the DA
