Josh Duggar is on trial for possessing child-pornography and his lawyers have a weird demand.

https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2021/aug/24/duggar-wants-statements-suppressed-child-porn/

Duggar, best known for being a part of his family's cable television reality show, is accused of using the internet in May 2019 to download and possess material, some of which depicts the sexual abuse of children younger than 12, according to court documents.

If convicted, Duggar faces up to 20 years of imprisonment and fines up to $250,000 on each count.

In the first motion, Duggar's attorneys argue the government failed to preserve potentially exculpatory evidence: searches done by investigators of electronic devices belonging to three people who, at various times, had access to Duggar's Springdale used car lot and the wireless internet at that location.

...

Lawyers for Duggar also filed three motions to suppress evidence in the case.

...

The third motion seeks to suppress photos of Duggar's hands and feet that were taken after his arrest.


He does not want you to know what his hands look like.

He does not want people to be able to recognize his hands.



He is on trial for child-pornography and he doesn't want people to be able to identify his hands when they see them on photo or video.

If it were just a shot accidentally taken while standing in his used car lot, it would be a picture of shoes, not feet.

Of his own trauma. It's learned and reenacted. I'd bet a dollar that whole family is a blackhole of incestuous behavior.

That is flat out obvious.

It is not just images. He was a participant.

Jury gets to see your hands and feet.

Because there are obviously photos or videos in which Josh's hands or feet are part of the evidence against him.

Yeah well. And in other news, people in hell want a drink of water. Fcuk you, Josh, and the jackazz you rode in on. And also your lawyers.

Sorry not sorry for the language, folks, but I am over this POS. Permanently and forever. And his whole family too.

the unique structures of their hands in photos: the vein structure, the freckle and marking pattern, etc.

Apparently the shape of those veins on the back of your hand are as unique as fingerprints.

He's trying to hide the fact that some of the photos of the molesters are actually of him.

... I assumed he sought out child porn for his own enjoyment... but now I think he was a salesperson. He might have taken pictures of children related to him, with his hands showing in some photos. I imagine some of the things the hands did would be repulsive.

Are his lawyers really this incompetent? Other devices having access to the (likely intentionally unsecured, so it can be offered as an excuse) access point would not put the files on his device(s). Though, it might show is he might be running a ring if the same files were found on his & other devices that he overtly communicated with.

Maybe he's got an unusual tattoo? Maybe he's missing a finger, or has an extra finger?
If so it could ID him in the videos and pix on his computer. That's my guess.
The lawyers know he's guilty. Lock him up.
