So Daniel Holtzclaw was a Oklahoma City police officer who was accused and convicted of rape and sexual assault. He received 263 years in prison. I believe he was convicted in 2016. However there are a lot of people that believe he didn't receive a fair trial, that the prosecution misled the jury, and the primary investigator led and/or coached the victims on what to say. Not only that but the victims stories either changed or they were caught lying.
When I originally saw this I thought the guy was guilty as heck but after hearing the testimony and the actual interviews I've come to the conclusion that not only is this guy innocent but the primary investigator should have her badge pulled and never be allowed to work in law enforcement again.
I just saw where the court of appeals upheld his conviction. I'm not sure why or how you wouldn't deserve a new trial when the DNA forensic employee of the city didn't follow standard forensic protocols, misled the jury, and that the DNA was from inadvertent transmission. How a person doesn't deserve a new trial when the victims were found to have perjured themselves. If this is what can happen to people in the US then we are in big trouble.
The DA's office, with a judge, and police held a private meeting to address the concerns with the city's forensic employee and the mistakes made during this case. The defense of Holtzclaw has a right to be involved in these meetings but weren't allowed to attend.
Seems like there are a whole lot of rights being violated.
