All I have to say is one's experience with someone may not be representative to how that person may be with someone else.

I don't even understand why it was asked of people who had nothing to do with the situation to write letters in the first place.

Because it’s common practice during the sentencing part of any trial to ask for as many letters as one can get. Sometimes people get a certified letter in the mail requesting a letter signed by a lawyer and don’t realize that it’s optional…
I had this happen to me when I was 19 and my parents immediately told me to throw it in the trash. IGGY is not American and not that smart she may have not realized that she did not have to write a letter on behalf of Lorenzo’s moral character.

It feels weird to me to ask "Do you think this person is bad or not?" when the only question the trial should be about is "did that person did it?", you know what I mean? Even if he was a saint, if he did it, he did it.

Now she looks extra dumb because who knows what she thought she knew about the situation, all people are going to remember is that she was on the side of the abuser.

Not disagreeing with you, but this is for the sentencing, as in "what are the consequences now that they've been found guilty."

Arguably, it could useful in misdemeanor cases where the judge is weighing their remorse/ability to make good choices in the future.

(I'm aware character witnesses can also be called in a trial, just explaining what letters like this can be used for.)

Iggy still has a team and a lawyer who would field these requests for her

ok now I want Chris Evans to be part of a trial (idk maybe littering? I don't want him to shoot anyone) so we can get batshit stan letters in his defense.

[umilicious]

I need more chaos that that! Give me full-out stan wars and have Taylor sue BTS, or a Supernatural bro suing the other one.

I was really hoping for more drama from Jared's butthurt tweet but Jensen smoothed it over too quickly.

no way, that was a glowing letter from someone fully committed to getting his time reduced. she pretty much says him and his entire team are gonna be hired by her until he gets out.

The convict gets anyone he can to write a letter that says nice things about him.

I remember reading about a guy in Canada who had brutalized his wife, but still got dozens of people to write letters on his behalf. The judge actually held them against him.

Character witnesses are irrelevant to most if not all investigations.
