This news is going to please the worst people.

Syed was freed not just because of the work done by his attorney at the Innocence Project but because of an investigation initiated by the state’s attorney’s office. A number of individuals in situations similar to his have been freed by this unit of her office: https://www.stattorney.org/conviction-integrity

This isn’t the end of the story by any means, and this freedom for Adnan Syed could be taken away in a month. I don’t think the next state’s attorney, Ivan Bates, has yet gone on the record about the case. I know there’s another cause celebre, the case of Keith Davis Jr., where Bates has vowed to drop the charges.…

It’s no problem when John Wayne plays Genghis Khan but a great part goes to a Black actress and racists lose their shit. Someone who says “woke,” they 99.9% of the time really want to say the n-word.

This is troubling.

Good for her. She doesn’t owe anything to anyone.

I feel like parts of this movie’s premise were already tackled in Jay and Silent Bob Reboot and Zack and Miri.

I never had the pleasure of meeting him, only reading his work and his tweets. He seemed like a heck of a guy. He was the heart and soul of this site and I’m going to miss him terribly.

Shit, Cosby once had a routine on the sort of shit he’d do to women. The Spanish Fly bit.

Isn’t she a couple decades too old to talk about coming of age?

I’m not sure if the timing of the allegations coming to light had anything to do with the Sony deal. Sony only entered into it when Funimation sent the claims up the chain to Sony to investigate.

The parties don’t always have to be at the hearings in person.

Probably because there was demand for him and there were people who all they knew was he was a diva and kinda handsy. They might not have known the full extent or seen the spreadsheet.

RIP

They can’t even use the word “myriad” right.

Good for him!

He was a producer but not the producer. He was more involved with the creative side and shared a story credit. It’s not clear how much he knew about issues raised by the crew in the days before the incident.

No he wasn’t. It’s the job of the armorer and the propmaster. There are no industry-wide standards but there are best practices.

Sometimes I’ve even gotten things early.
