Yes, you do have a fucking narrative. Stop pretending you don’t. You do. If he was surrounded by cops and had his arms at his side, not a “righteous shoot.”

The victim’s story isn’t all that relevant to the flaws in the criminal justice system. How much of the victim’s life is necessary to flesh out?

The men that may or may not have murdered them.

How much do you expect a podcast like Serial to devote to the victim. That Lee was brutally murdered is probably the least controversial part of the case. She is dead, and that is an unspeakable tragedy. But it is not something that can really be explored or even questioned.

The guy’s a victim of honesty. When did Jezebel start victim-blaming? SMDH

Regarding your first point, maybe I didn’t articulate my point clearly enough. I agree he could have pled the Fifth on that question. At the same time, he didn’t admit to a crime. From the perspective of strategy in a civil suit, if he pleads the Fifth, the adverse inference can be drawn that he drugs and rapes women.…

Well....he didn’t “incriminate” himself in the sense of admitting to a crime. The only thing he said that he could probably plead the Fifth for is that he kept qualuudes for women he wanted to have sex with, which isn’t admitting a crime, but could reasonably be used in a prosecution (obviously). (It’s been a minute…

It’s not that immunity agreements must now be on paper.

Well, if the original prosecutor should be disbarred for “bargaining in bad faith,” Cosby’s defense lawyer should be disbarred for incompetence (uhhh...postmortem, I guess). I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of a person - especially a person with extremely sophisticated legal counsel like Cosby - agreeing to be deposed in…

Aahahahah. My favorite part of that post is how she goes on and on and on about how most white cops are probably not racist, and then concludes this brilliant thought by pointing out that police abuse of women OF COLOR is routinely ignored.

I didn’t read the article, or the links. Hell, I don’t even know what a Jezebel is! But how do we REALLY know that this judge is a rapist? Is that explained anywhere? Or is it possible the kangaroo said “Yes”?

To what end?

Christ. Literally every thread about this has people saying Avery is probably guilty, but Brendan got railroaded. No one has forgotten about Brendan. He is a huger focal point of much of the series, and is placed in an extremely sympathetic light.

Show me ONE person who has said he is innocent “because he never hurt a fly.” Literally no one is saying that. That is a bullshit straw man you are making up. People are saying he did not get a fair trial. Why don’t you try actually engaging THAT argument instead of the bullshit one you made up.

Can you imagine if Hillary Clinton pulled something like this?

Exactly. That is why I’m not a police officer, because my attitude would be “I’m living at all costs,” and that’s the wrong attitude. We are supposed to celebrate these guys as heroes for the “sacrifice” they make, right?

Have you seen me arguing that it is not a law or that they didn’t break it? No? Then why do you keep making that argument?

Okay, that doesn’t make the law any less absurd.

God, this is the worst concern trolling.

Sure, why not? Let’s not analyze whether the law actually makes sense. Let’s just lazily say “Well, they broke a law so fine, whatever.” After all, why would we ever criticize a law???? It’s a fucking law, after all! No law could be unjust.
