    Hopefully the more this keeps happening, the more people who say they have nothing to hide start to understand why privacy is important.

    • The people who say that will still say that, right up until it happens to THEM.

      And they’ll say things like “if he has nothing to hide, then he will be cleared in no time!” and not bother looking into it any further. They don’t see that the entire case was mishandled from the start, the trial was bungled, the jury stacked, and the charges insanely inflated to try and make the victim take a plea deal.

      Even if they did see it, they’ll dismiss it as “it’s just one case”
