no, exoneration is a matter of proof. one must be proven innocent to be exonerated.
No, it's a matter of opinion. I've seen convictions overturned where the DA still insists the person is guilty. In any event, DA's don't prove innocence, they prove guilt. The OP author merely expressed an opinion that the charges being dropped amounts to an exoneration. It has absolutely nothing to do with the prosecutor who you seem to imply has to make an official decree for someone to be exonerated.
i didn't imply anything about the DA. seriously, quit with that bullshit. you are making it all up and pretending i said or imied it.
an overturned conviction is not an exoneration although they can come when new evidence proves the convicted is innocent.
Yes you did. You keep saying the DA only dropped the charges
yep. the DA doesn't exonerate anyone, so all they can do is drip the charges
as if there was more that could be done to exonerate the cops.
this is the part you are making up. that's all in your head.
People are free to view that as an exoneration
yes, people are free to be wrong
an opinion you stupidly think you can prove wrong by ascribing magical powers to the DA that were judiciously declined.
wtf are you gibbering about? you have created a straw man and are pretending that it is my argument.
the cops have not been proven innocent. they have not been exonerated. they likely never will be. lucky for them we have a presumption of innocence
