20,000 people defend West Virginia man accused of camera vandalism

Wesley Jackson, accused of cutting down Flock surveillance cameras in his town, has nearly 20,000 people publicly vouching for him. The testimonies are absurdly specific: saving someone's dog from a fire, serving at a soup kitchen, fixing a homeless shelter roof. He's pleaded Not Guilty. Either this guy is genuinely the most heroic man in West Virginia, or his community is saying something louder than the charges themselves: they don't trust the camera network more than they trust him.
