Shaun overhyped a questionable coerced oral sex conviction (from 2016), and failed to offer his followers evidence against.

An Oklahoma City Police officer was convicted of coerced oral sex from 8 black Women back in 2016. Shaun was all over the story, but not any of the mitigating parts or bad processes/procedures that lead to the conviction. Which shows a lack of journalistic integrity on Shaun's part. (1/2 the story is not Journalism).

An Oklahoma City Police officer was convicted of coerced oral sex from 8 black Women. Certainly, Shaun was all over the story. Michelle Malkin and the Innocence Project feels there is evidence for a retrial, that closed hearings and experts questioning things deserve a retrial, and that Shaun being moot on the topic reflects his lack of journalistic integrity.

Personally, I'm not ready to presume the officer's innocence. The case against him looks pretty strong (circumstantially). Michelle's view seems to be around the idea that there was no physical evidence or corroborating witnesses. Not to mention a nearly unblemished record until the charges, then suddenly all these women come forward (with shady backgrounds and who were arrested by the Cop, so might have an axe to grind)? Until I know a lot more, I have no opinion on this.

But I do have an opinion that Shaun should have offered his audience both sides, and included the arguments against the case. So he's a bad journalist, even if the officer got what he deserved. I don't know if justice was served as far as the officer. I do know that there's evidence he was railroaded and some questionable processes were used against him, like tying 17 cases together.
