Some people don't like her because she performed for a dictator. Her reps said she didn't know he was a dictator or something like that.

Excuse me, but what the fuck is up with all the people jumping down this dude's throat for kicking a cat WHILE IT WAS ATTEMPTING TO MURDER HIS BABY.

Apparently some of the jurors did believe me, but didn't feel they could do much. There was a woman sitting in the back of the court room visibly upset, and I had no idea who she was. Apparently, when they were selecting jurors they asked if any of them had been sexually assaulted (because that might bias the jurors's…
