Wilson also noted none of the officers standing next to the vehicle were called to testify that Stockley planted a gun. And he recounted witness testimony that the absence of a person’s DNA on a gun does not mean that person did not touch the gun.

“Finally, the Court observes, based on its nearly thirty years on the bench, that an urban heroin dealer not in possession of a firearm would be an anomaly,” the judge wrote.


That's a shame. Set free because of a lack of evidence, but the reason then they base their reasoning on speculation. Not only is it an "anomaly" that this guy didn't have a gun, but it's assumed that he had that exact gun. Officer could have planted any type of gun and it was going to be assumed to be this person's.
