Being from Alabama, where setting high profile people up to ruin them has been elevated to a high art form, i'm wondering why Chum's house was raided and searched on suspicion of sexual assault? I could see it if they had enough evidence to bring charges, but as part of an ongoing investigation? And the raid produced nothing related to the given justification for the search warrant. You would think they would have asked him down to the station house for an initial interview before going full on SWAT on his home.
Simply mentioning someone in the same sentence as sexual assault puts a lot of do gooders and self appointed hall monitors on the bear fat torches and pitchfork committee, but toss in a bevy of drug and weapons charges and poor old Chum is already guilty in the court of public opinion. Six months or a year from now when he pays a fine for misdemenor drug possession after the sexual assault charge proved groundless and the weapons charge is dropped as part of a plea deal, it won't even make the paper and tons of people will go to their grave convinced Chum is some kind of drug addict rapist thug when his only real crime was being a little too well known.
