That would be a shame; those text messages that the defense released, that they claimed would show that Jabbari disavowed the assault, actually fit perfectly in the narrative of Majors being an abusive manipulator, and I expected much the same from the purported video.

I’m a former domestic violence prosecutor, and I think your analysis is correct. I agree that witnesses should own their mistakes; doing that definitely helps credibility. One thing I saw pretty often was that, if a victim was a user of any kind of controlled substance, juries basically treated them as if they…

Yeah, Majors certainly does not come across as a likeable or relatable person. And he seems to have his own issues with being overeager to present himself in the most positive light possible, even in ways that are so implausible that they make him seem untrustworthy.

His reputation will eventually recover. It’ll take time, but it will.

I’m just waiting for the defense to show the video footage that they say exonerates their client.

Based on this summary, I’m skeptical that Jabbari’s testimony was especially persuasive to a jury.

The law makes it particularly difficult to press these kinds of charges, in part because of the lack of physical evidence left by psychological crimes, and in part because our society is trained not to believe women when they accuse men of anything.

There ought to be a presumption of innocence in a court of law. In the court of public opinion, anything goes.

A bunch of people are saying “Let’s remember he deserves presumption of innocence.” To which I keep replaying “Did you give it to Harvey Weinstein? Because if not, who are you to lecture anyone else about it?”

In the latter instance, Jabbari recorded some of his ranting, in which he demanded she be more like Michelle Obama or Coretta Scott King. The audio, referenced in the prosecution’s opening arguments, was played for the jury (per Variety and Vulture). “I’m a great man. A great man. I do great things for my culture and…

Textbook narcissist. What a manipulative piece of shit.

For fuck’s sake, can’t we just let this asshole just disappear into obscurity and maybe prison like he deserves?

Yes I watched the video.  I guess I didn’t process the information appropriately.

I did watch the video, I guess I just forgot a couple things, sorry. I watched it all the way through.

Adding to what Holo121 said... they took the picture of the internals, that photo is their copyright and they can use that photo as they did and put it on things. Just like a paparazzi selling a photo of a celebrity.

Did you watch the video? He says like.. in the first few minutes that if it wasn’t for the easter eggs being copied he absolutely wouldn’t be going after them because he would prefer for there to be competition in the space.

As an ICU nurse, no matter what the circumstances, if you make them go in, not of their own accord, but force them “straight into rehab”? IT NEVER WORKS. Even if they do go on their own with the best of intentions, even if they have detox’d in the hospital and you get them into a good program, even if they swear they…

Fun fact: That guy lost the case.

Suing a company that only does business in China for copyright violations in China, within Chinese courts is largely a fools errand.

Stealing his idea is one thing, but stealing actual assets is another.
