Sixteen-year-old Matthew Bandy was a normal 16 year old, living in a small suburban town in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. At least that was until a couple of years ago loud knocking spelled the start of a titanic struggle against the charges laid against him. Charges which could lead to 90 years imprisonment.
The knocking was the police. Matthew Bandy was charged with possession of 9 exlicit pictures of a minor and placed under house arrest until his trial. He was fitted with an electronic tag around his ankle, not allowed to go anywhere where there may be children, and not allowed to even attend his local church without getting written consent from his parish priest.
This is what you might expect from any authorities when dealing with such a serious crime. Unfortunately, much like Julie Amero, the UK primary school teacher, Bandy appears to have been the victim of both spyware and hacking. Once again, as with the Julie Amero case, the prosecutions only arguement were that the images were found on his pc, therefore he must be guilty.
It baffles me how ignorant and pigheaded the prosecutor is in this video.
