Slidell pastor John Raymond asks judge to acquit him after he was found guilty of child cruelty

Raymond’s previous attorney, Joseph Long, argued at trial that Raymond was in the “crosshairs” of a culture war, and accused District Attorney Collin Sims of being “woke.”

Woah, that's a strong argument, my man. Against a dude who more or less tortures kids (it's been a while since I read about the charges and I didn't complete this article, as I was only interested in learning the new sentencing date, Dec 2). Set the man free! /s
