Lawyers for Kevin VanLuven, 59, have asked a Circuit Court judge to suppress their client’s statements, which came after cops were summoned to a suburban Detroit home in March. Prosecutors have opposed the defense motion, which contends that VanLuven was improperly questioned while in police custody.

First, you are always considered innocent until proven guilty, and even if you confess, the police know that it must be done correctly, that meaning that you cannot be coerced into the confession. Or that they can't trick you into that confession, or scare you into that confession.
ReplyDeleteSecond, there is no doubt that the guy did it, but again, it is not what you have done, it is what the prosecutor can prove you have done. In this case, the crime was basically a victimless crime, in most ways. Maybe the prosecutor could argue that the guy made the doll unable to be given back to the kid, having had been "damaged" by the pervert the way it was. I am not saying that the guy did not do something disgusting, just that he didn't actually touch anyone, or traffic child porn or the like.
And finally, we have to remember that it is important to keep the idea of innocent unless proven guilty the bedrock of our entire judicial system. For we have seen too often in our country when an untrustworthy prosecutor or FBI agent or even congress person will leak details of an investigation to the media, and then not deign to bring any charges on the person, having instead crucified them in the arena of public opinion, and thus punishing them without the benefit of a trial, and the chance to rebut the evidence against them. We are seeing it now with so many people sitting in jail, often in solitary confinement, for actions they took on January 6th, at the capitol protests, for in some cases, months, without a trial or even a hearing, with no charges having been brought yet. The 6th amendment give us the right to a speedy trial, and this is clearly a violation of that.
The process is the punishment.
DeleteNo one else was in the house so just who did he expose himself to? The owners did not HAVE to watch him and he may be able to counter-sue for wiretapping but that depends on the state.
ReplyDeleteHe's into plushies, big whoop; order him to pay for the doll. Putting him in jail for five months is nothing but retribution from the county and excessive punishment; likely a case against the county.
Five weeks in jail for screwing a plush toy yet people who commit sexual assault never see the inside of a jail cell because they are well connected or are a member of the right party.
