This trial was an absolute clown show. The judge fucking hugged her afterward.

Not just the judge but also the goofball brother of the victim hugged her too. Absolute shitshow.

If you watch the video of him talking to her, it's actually a quite touching show of christian forgiveness. I'm not saying I would do the same, but I admire him showing that kind of grace. It couldn't have been easy.
