„Ein subtiler Fehler“: Wie ein einziger Unterstrich zur Verurteilung eines unschuldigen Halifax-Mannes führte

WTF? How did this happen in the first place? They arrested someone solely on the basis of a user name? I’m sure they must have gone through his digital devices and his entire online profile and likely not have come up with anything incriminating since he was innocent. So on the basis of a user name they convicted him? 18 months of his life gone. Not just that, but what about all his relationships that likely went to shit? What compensation is he going to receive?

>Halifax police executed a search warrant at Klayme’s home Feb. 5, 2020, and seized several phones and laptops from his bedroom. The search confirmed Klayme had a Kik account, but no evidence was found linking him to the girl, her Kik conversations with Jay or the intimate images that were exchanged. Nor was any evidence found that Klayme was active on his Kik account at the time of the offences, between August and December 2018.

Not only was there no evidence linking him to the girl, but there was also no evidence he used his Kik account during the months the girl was in contact with her abuser.
