#2The accused crime is heinous and there is some evidence against him stated in the article but common, an indefinite jail sentence with no conviction?
Then people wonder why the country elects Trump to shake things up.
This guy should stand trial or be let go.

Forgetting a password can lead to life in prison. Reasonable.

Trump quite explicitely promised to double on police and prosecutor power. If what you want is better protection for accused, Trump is last person you should vote for.

Absolutely but I'll go further. Having something in your hard drive or book or whatever should never be a crime in itself. I mean in India it is a crime to carry an authentic map of India with you.
What harm does the contents of an encrypted disk do to society? It is not like he was going out and trying to legalize child abuse. If the person was involved in child abuse, we must try to convict him absolutely but we should be able to do that without what's on the hard disk.
Oh and while I have your attention I'd like the reader to look up something unrelated but still very important. Look up cfaa. If you're in the us, please help repeal it!

Such a nice threatening tool too:
- We just "found" this encrypted drive in your apartment. Too bad you don't "remember" the password uh? The judge won't like it!

that makes 0 sense, if the files are encrypted they cannot be a match

Serious question for those who know about crypto, do drive encryption systems allow to retrieve hashes for the encrypted files?
