So much for the right to face your accuser - was there a mirror in the courtroom for him to look into?



From the linked article:

> The Fayetteville, NC 17-year-old, Cormega Copening, faced five charges of sexual exploitation after police found the photos while searching his phone in an unrelated incident at his school last fall.

There is a third-party accuser.


From the title:

>Teen prosecuted as adult for having naked images – of himself

The prosecutor is prosecuting on behalf of the very person who is also supposedly the perpetrator. Do you seriously think our founding fathers intended for "The People" v. Copening to be a replacement for Copening v. Copening?
