Hi Sup Forums I need some fact-checking from some people experienced in web design/code and possibly (UK) law. Here's the backstory, a guy who lives on my street has been convicted of possessing CP, and the rest of my street have been abusing him, yelling at him etc. His wife/parter distributed this 5 page letter today concerning how she believes he has been wrongfully convicted. It contains some information on what's allegedly the police's flawed methods used when convicting him and I was hoping someone could clarify whether what she said is true.. Will dump more of the letter in comments

What do you think, guys?

Only half way through, but the jury not understanding the caching thing is nothing new, if you read Ghost in the Wires by Kevin Mitnick he gives dozens of examples of being wrongly convicted because the jury is fucking retarded about technology and won't even bother to learn when it concerns a person's sentencing.
Ian White
That was one of the things I was thinking, feel free to elaborate once you've read the rest

I'm going to assume this happened in burger land. The amount of people falsely convicted of child porn, not to mention the people framed for it, is depressing and something that I fear will one day happen to me. The "jury of old women" is another issue, people are supposed to be judged by a jury of their peers but I don't think people remember what that means any more. I'm going to guess that jury, like all old women, have a blind trust in their police force, never mind them contradicting themselves in court, if they said once upon a time that the man has looked up child porn, then he must've and there's no debate to be had.
This is of course only having read his wife's side of the argument, she could've easily lied about the court proceedings to gather support from her neighbors in an attempt push back against the media. I really doubt that though, every couple of weeks we hear stories like this, whether it's child porn or some poor security researcher getting swatted for daring to use a port scanner. The days of having a consistently informed jury are a long ways off for us

Sounds like your friend was googling for cp and looked at at least a couple pages.
You shouldn't abuse your neighbors though.

Can anyone verify the truth of the part with the thumbnail caches etc?
John Bell
Makes sense now. Thumbnails in cache has law protecting people from prosecution in New York, and anyone else in the US would have his lawyer use that in his defense.
The UK seems like a giant turd when it comes to anything sex related.
Gavin Peterson
Hopefully the UK has some sort of appeal system. Kevin dindu nufffing.
Well, water sports are illegal over there...

I think that you need to move to another country before they send you off into a forced labor camp. You should expect to see a lot more stuff like this happening in Britain.
Easton Fisher
The last part of the letter (that i haven't put up cause it's non-pertinent)says he will be appealing for miscarriage of justice
Jonathan Jenkins
can anyone link a press article of this?
Josiah Murphy
Assuming what is actually written is factual, this is all real stuff.
Juries tend to be brain dead about technology and oftentimes police forces are as well.
In the US, you need to prove actual possession of the images in question for conviction and thumbnails would not suffice as proof as possession. I don't know what UK law would entail, but I would hope it is equally rigorous.
Regardless, the evidence mentioned in the letter is not nearly enough for any reasonable jury to convict assuming the jurors actually know anything at all.
While, once again, I do not know much about UK law, in the US this would probably be grounds for a mistrial I think.
