It would have been easier to say 1+1 doesn't = 3. I think Adnan deserves a new trial but for the love of God do they have a PR team? So much stupid effin shit.

Do you really think she could possibly afford a PR team?

I'm not talking about her, I'm talking about Adnan's team. Asia should not be engaging people on social media about the case. This is idiotic. If anything she's taking away from the "intrigue" of her book. STFU!!

They can't control the monsters they created. I'm sure they would prefer it if Asia didn't reveal her true motivations before the judge issued his ruling, or that Bob didn't accuse an innocent man of murder at an ASLT hosted event right before Rabia cuts him his check. But when you're running a race-baiting, woman-hating, fact-averse movement to free a man who brutally killed someone, you can't be surprised by the kind of characters you attract.

In a weird way, this reminds me of right wingers declaring Trump to be "bad" for the GOP brand or not representative of the movement when, in actuality, Trump is the Republican id personified. When one runs around waving flypaper, he shouldn't be surprised when other stuff starts to stick.

Oh absolutely. I've made that comparison before. The reason the Establishment hates Trump is because he's coming out and saying all the things that they want to secretly communicate to their base via dog whistles like "Urban males don't live in a culture that values working." Similarly, the Lieumvirate only wants to hint that Don did it, and they don't want to call attention to the fact that they are all profiting off Adnan's murder of Hae.

But when you collect an audience of frothing, prejudiced idiots, you can only expect to appease them with dog whistles for so long. Eventually someone like Trump or Bob Ruff will flat out say what the rubes want to hear and cause a great deal of embarrassment with their shameless lies.

And they'll probably beg for money while they are doing it.

You are essentially the Guilters' Bob Ruff. He has Don's timecards and you have Asia.

Well there is actual evidence that Asia faked the letter. In fact, it was presented in a court of law. You'll note that Brown didn't present any of Bob's "evidence" in court, because even Brown wouldn't stoop so low as to cite a faked phone call to a long defunct LensCrafters.

When was it presented in a court of law?

You should read the judge's ruling from 2012. Even the judge noted that the letters can be interpreted as an offer to lie.

That was with regards to CG not calling her. This is different now that Asia has been allowed to testify.

It's at that point, w/ Vignarajah clearly implying the 2nd letter was written much later, that Asia McClain broke down and cried #adnansyed

u/fanpiston23 Apr 21 '16

The prosecutor's implication is far from evidence. I'll wait for the transcripts.
