Over 10,000 Facebook Users Worldwide Falsely Check in at Standing Rock To Confuse Police (time.com)
More than 100,000 people from around the world have checked in on Facebook at the site of Dakota Access Pipeline protests in North Dakota, in an effort they hope will help protesters avoid detection by police. From a report on Vice:A call went out for Facebook users over the weekend to falsely check in at Standing Rock to confuse the police regarding protester identities and numbers. But it isn't clear whether the directive came from organizers on the ground at the Camp of the Sacred Stone, who call themselves Water Protectors because of the purported threat that the planned pipeline poses to Standing Rock's water supply, or whether it's a hoax. Protesters have been camped out at Standing Rock since April in response to the planned Energy Transfers Pipeline, but tensions reached a boiling point last week when protesters clashed with police and several vehicles were set on fire. Scenes of standoffs between riot police and protesters linked arm-in-arm were broadcast online via Facebook Live. Law enforcement used a sound cannon in an attempt to disperse protesters. Protest leaders in North Dakota say they were surprised by the Facebook check-in effort, but they appreciate it.
I already covered your other items and I already stated that she was required to defend him, so you're arguing a point already discussed. And no, presenting that kind of evidence as anonymous hearsay was even then rather dubious. Snopes mentions the victims wanting the plea because the trial was so horrible for them. It was horrible precisely because of conduct like that, which led to it being outlawed via rape shield laws. I note that you do not, because you cannot, rebut the fact that it was unethical of her to imply that she had secret knowledge of her client's guilt, though.
As for this:

Just how many other people can you name who laugh when talking about the rape of 12-year-olds? I confess that I'm not acquainted with any, to the best of my knowledge.
