I don't live in the US so maybe I don't understand, but this sounds like a failure of the legal system, not of the defendant. > He avoided prison by overcoming the legal system.
I don't live in the US so maybe I don't understand, but this sounds like a failure of the legal system, not of the defendant.100%. He found a flaw and exploited it to escape justice, which is different than not being guilty of the crimes he clearly committed.
He was in the process of being tried in multiple cases in multiple jurisdictions regarding his attempts to compromise an American election, each time with overwhelming, nearly comical evidence against him.
Saying he's innocent until proven guilty not only ignores the reality that the cases against him, even based on what is publicly available evidence, were airtight, but also the fact that these cases only went away because he won re-election and made them go away.
That's not justice.
