Reading this, I think it's a crime that this guy is not out on early release. The majority of his sentence was for marijuana, which is now widely decriminalized and in some places legalized.

He broke his gf's arm as part of a prolonged campaign of domestic violence against her.

This was conveniently omitted from both TFA as well as the linked “how I got here” post.

Where did you learn this?

This is an PDF of a bad court decision about an illegal search; he was not convicted of harming anyone. It contains no evidence of him harming anyone.

If police can determine there is probable cause they can immediately search without a warrant. It contains strong evidence of him committing harm directly to his gf at the time. It does not contain a legal decision or conviction, but that's not a lack of evidence - the report's existence itself is by definition evidence.

That’s false. PC needs to be taken to a judge for a search warrant.

What you are probably thinking of is what is called the “exigent circumstances” warrant exception, and it was misapplied here by over-zealous police who violated his rights.

There is no evidence to support that the injuries sustained by the woman in his apartment were caused by him, according to that document.
