Some people here seem to fundamentally misunderstand the Wiedenheft story.
The police did not randomly kick down his door and find child porn on his (allegedly) second hand HD. That doesn't happen, because they need probable cause to suspect him and execute a search of his computer.
The state's narrative is that
he offered to share the files with others, and as a result of
that, his IP was traced by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). Naturally, FDLE got a warrant. Then they did a search. Then they busted his ass.
Sarah's story about a second-hand HD is dumb, because even in the extremely unlikely chance that's how he initially came into possession of the files, the state was tipped off by his attempt to share them.
"Hey guys, there's some CP on this old HD I bought. Anybody want it?"
Sarah is not being genuine.
Also, not to beat a dead horse, but this is the best part:

Even her shit about the public defender is somewhat disingenuous. Fun fact is that he tried to claim indigence on $40,000/yr income (to qualify for representation by the public defender). That was rejected (see below). He's not using a public defender because the court has determined he's got the money to afford his own attorney.
Here's the state's version of events:

Nick is a criminal defense attorney. Even though he's pro-Vic, I don't think he has a lot of love for prosecutors. He'd have no compunction with saying charges levied by the state are bullshit. I think Nick clearly thinks Bradley is legitimately boned on this one though, and it's not hard to see why.
