He spent two weeks in jail. How keen are you to keep innocent people in jail for two weeks based on such flimsy evidence?

Like I said, I'm not condoning the FBI's behavior. I'm just saying the idea that he would have ended up under a guilty verdict if not for the insistence of the fingerprint match shows little faith for the judicial system (which, mind you, is an entirely different branch of government).

Trials? Like they got in Guantanomo? Or like the African American population get in America where there are very many miscarriages of justice?
