I just meant consult a lawyer prior to posting on twitter. I only said that because any statement made public could be used against her if she does get sued. Hardly ridiculous.

This all seems ridiculous but for the love of god, woman, consult a lawyer! Don’t post it on twitter!

Ok so i know that stopping the ride was protocol. But in this situation, I would think the best bet would be to keep going to the end, if her friends could hang on long enough.

Ok I need to know the specifics on this.

Again, maybe I’m an optimist but I really think he’ll get a retrial and conviction. If this turns out any other way, I’ll be in the streets protesting and angry.

Jesus. I’m so sorry.

Thank you. That really means a lot.

A writer did a piece for The Root that really resonated with me (I’ll attach below). It was called, “The Cosby trial reminded me why I’ll never seek justice.”

I can’t even imagine what juries go through when they have to deal with that shit. Like it’s so clear but there’s one person who just decides, “nah. I’m going to hold my ground despite all evidence.”

You wouldn’t even believe some of the people I see on these juries. A lot of jurors are good people trying to make educated decisions. But just a few months ago I watched a jury convict two young black men of murder when there was little to no evidence against them.

I firmly believe they will. There will be a huge outcry if they don’t and anyway, every trial I’ve ever witnessed that’s ended in a hung jury has been retried. I’m optimistic.

Yea it’s a true bummer but it’s how shit works here. I’m a court journalist/reporter and I have seen many, many trials in which 11/12 jurors are all dead set on one option and the last juror won’t budge. It’s fine to hold on to your convictions (no pun intended) but there have been many times when the evidence is so…

ugh I wish I could talk to you all about this because I love it so much.

Damn! How did I just find this now, hours late?!?! I snort-laughed my way through that whole thing

Okay maybe it’s because I’ve had too many gin and tonics but I just sent them an email asking why the fuck they wont support him. I’ll post if I get a reply. (spoiler: I wont)

Look, I’m just going to say it.

Ugh now I know what happened to the mean girls in high school who called my friend group a, “pack of fat lesbians.”

I call propaganda bullshit on that video (them, not you, of course). It reminds me of a photo gallery that went around the internet a few years ago depicting NK families picnicking in the sun and frolicking around Pyongyang with captions like “this is what North Korea is really like!”

Can’t you just hear him yelling, “wait until I tell faaaaahther about this!”

My mother does this to me too - calls me every time or texts “it’s urgent” and when I respond to her call in a panic, she just says “buy a lottery ticket. Trust me.”
