I hope that ppl don't use this to attack women from coming out. But the fact the prosecution coached the victim into picking the person they wanted is sickening.

Sadly this is pretty common. Lineups are pretty notoriously bad, as are eyewitness accounts. Especially too when you don't have great descriptions to go off of. And it's tough too because your memory changes. So you'll make yourself think it was actually that person you testified against.

This is eerily similar to how Randall Dale Adams ended up being exonerated during the process of making The Thin Blue Line. Errol Morris originally set out to make a documentary about a completely different subject, noticed that nothing about the Adams case added up, then pivoted the entire production towards examining his conviction under false pretenses. The blame of course shouldn’t be with Alice Sebold, but the ubiquitous and perennial uselessness of law enforcement.

Any movement that targets power imbalances and abuses of power will only last so long as it's perceived to only hurt the "bad guys" and not to hurt or diminish the power of the system as a whole. The whole "Joe Biden is a rapist" underscored a huge problem with the issue, because while his past behavior and actions are of serious concern, the opposition not only doesn't care when their people do it, they cheer it on when their tribe is winning. Therefore if the other side doesn't care when it happens to them, then Biden's accusations and evidence had to be downplayed for the sake of a greater good (lol). It'd be great to live in a society where there was a standard of behavior that every had to live up to or get cancelled without issue, but we just saw ~1/2 a country cheer their heads off for a white teen murderer who strolled around with an assault rifle looking for targets getting off scot free.

Not quite the purvue of this thread but we did discuss it before so it counts: the trial of Jussie Smollett has started. Still a truly bizarre story in which someone decides to gently caress their career and themselves for some vague gain. Was he doing it to raise his profile (which doesn't make much sense) or was he trying to whip people into a frenzy?

ACAB sure, but that doesn't mean Smollett is magically innocent either. What is the evidence that he was attacked by a couple of cops? The police and prosecutors and the mayor are poo poo, and layered it on thick in the press - can't disagree with that - but I don't see how that story adds up.

Point is the concept of "evidence" is worthless when it comes to this particular police department because they've proven they can't be trusted. They've been caught falsifying evidence and beating confessions out of people time and time again, so the only reasonable thing to do is just assume everyone they arrest/charge is innocent, because we have no way of distinguishing between the legit cases and the bullshit ones.

The Smollet stuff feels like a lifetime ago and I don't have it in me to re-research it, but even if you drift away from ACAB it doesn't seem that out there to think that they just ran with their crazy theory and did whatever they could to make it work. The whole thing is sketchy as gently caress and sounds the same as every true crime story of the cops railroading somebody. Even if they're right, they didn't get there honestly. Off the top of my head, the idea that Smollet got beat up by his trainer in some personal dispute, reported it before he realized what was going on and got stuck makes just as much, if not more, sense and yet it barely got considered because the cops already had their idea that he was playing the race card/attention seeking.

His trainers are Nigerian, he claimed publicly that he was beat up by two white guys who said they recognized him from Empire, who also put a noose on him and dumped some kind of substance as well. The idea that two MAGA chuds were walking around Chicago at 3 am in the middle of winter, happened to have a noose on them, recognized an actor from a black TV show, and then decided to assault him is deeply silly. So either he made it all up, or there's some kind of insane conspiracy within the Chicago PD, which I rule out because if there's one thing the cops are good at it's injuring people and he wasn't badly hurt.

But I just wanna be really careful with details like this because it would be pretty messed up to spread misinformation about what he was actually claiming. Honestly it would be completely conceivable to me that the two attackers came up with a really dumb plan to pretend to be MAGA dudes in order to throw off suspicion, then started scrambling to shift blame away from them when they got caught immediately. Like, maybe they were initially going to rob him or something but panicked when poo poo got weird? Martman fucked around with this message at 23:35 on Dec 1, 2021 |

A link like that is exactly what I would have liked, but what you gave was "the cops say he said it at the time." When I look at sources from the time, videos of his own public statements etc., I see him saying they were shouting MAGA stuff and that he couldn't see them very well.

This really isn't the thread to argue the legal irregularities for the Smollet case especially since there seem to be a lot of people fully willing to disbelieve anything he says and 100% back the Chicago PD, an organization that literally ran/is running torture blacksites to force suspects into giving confessions.
