Man imprisoned for standing up to judge who murdered his son!

[D2D]

Jonathan Vanderhagen, 35, faces charges of malicious use of a telecommunications device after exposing a judge on social media who took away his son, placed the child in his mother’s care, which ultimately resulted in the child’s untimely death. The trial officially began on Friday.
“Today’s trial is the limitless money, power, and privilege of the crown vs. Jonathan Vanderhagen and the 1st amendment. Your thoughts and prayers please,” Vanderhagen’s lawyer Nicholas Somberg wrote in a Facebook post before the trial started.
The prosecutors are arguing that Vanderhagen’s First Amendment rights are effectively null and void because family-court Judge Rachel Rancilio felt intimidated by his posts exposing her record. Assistant Prosecutor Elizabeth Rittinger is using the “fire in a crowded theater” trope to justify this constitutional infringement in court.

The sexist bitch killed his son because she didn't believe fathers have rights!

Seems Democrats wholly approve of sex discrimination!

What a biased bunch of tripe.  From your OWN source:

A police report filed following the untimely death of two-year-old Killian cleared his mother from liability in his death, but the Vanderhagen family disagrees
strongly with that assessment. They feel that if Killian was taken care of properly, he may be alive today…

DvD FEELS that feelings should override facts in a court of law.

Constitution deals with FACTS, NOT feelings.

Anything to excuse the sexist and biased ruling of a corrupt judge!

Overall, we rate Big League Politics Questionable based on extreme right wing bias, promotion of propaganda and conspiracies as well as numerous failed fact checks.

Why should anyone listen to far left "fact checkers?"

To the left propaganda is fact and PRAVDA is truth!

[sine-qua-non]

The facts are that the judge made a ruling that resulted in the death of a child

Why is the Left immune to the facts then

Now the prosecutor, “an officer of the court” is trying to cover the judges poor decision making, how sadly corrupt !

According to Jonathan Vanderhagen's lawyer, it took a jury all of 26 minutes and 8 seconds to decide that he was not guilty of using his Facebook account to threaten a county judge. Reason previously covered the Michigan father's free speech case, which began with a custody battle two years ago.
In 2017, Vanderhagen petitioned the court for sole custody over his 2-year-old son, Killian. Vanderhagen believed Killian's mother to be an unfit guardian. Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Rachel Rancilio, the presiding judge, denied the request and Killian was permitted to continue living with his mother. Killian passed away that September while in his mother's care.
Authorities concluded that a preexisting medical condition contributed to Killian's death. Vanderhagen, however, blamed Rancilio's custody ruling for contributing to his son's death, which he believes would not have happened had Killian been in his care. He used his Facebook page to say as much. For two years, he posted about Killian's mother, the court system, and Rancilio—at times using Rancilio's own public Facebook posts and Pinterest pins to criticize her ruling.

I hope he sues that corrupt judge and the prosecutors who brought this travesty of a case at the very least for his defense costs!
