    He'll appeal it to the state supreme court next. I am not so sure part of his case isn't without merit. If the prosecutors agreed to drop the case in exchange for community service and you do the community service, it seems to me like that should be it. Instead the then used a special prosecutor to charge him. Seems like the state should be bound by their deal regardless of who made it on behalf of the state.

    Exclusionary rule: if they mess up, it is as if it never happened. So, they came to an "agreement" that was moot as it was totally illegal. Throw it out and start over, which they did and Jussie, common sense, was found accountable.

    An unwillingness to learn from one's mistakes is a common human weakness.

    Why?

    He meets all the Democrat requirements for being a useful idiot. I say hold him high and claim that these things could happen and the fact that he fabricated the entire thing is of no consequence. Why? He meets all the Democrat criteria.

    He had the DA in his corner and it's been said Mooch was, too. In the end this guy lost, but when does he report to prison?

    Hasn't been announced, yet.
    And, it's JAIL (Not Prison).
    With 1 for 1 Good Time credit, and 6 days already served, he has 69 days left to do on a 150 Day Sentence...
    In Protective Custody:
    "housed in his own cell"
    "He's a high-profile defendant," ABC7 Legal Analyst Gil Soffer said. "And if there is anyone who's safe in jail, who the authorities want to make sure is safe in jail, it's him."

    He will be able to do that standing on his head...

    I can't remember what the guys name is but I watched a couple episodes due to the actor that was also in Hustle and Flow. That movie is a guilty pleasure of mine lol

    He'll certainly be a lot safer than that Epstein guy was. If he's lucky he might even get a cell partner and they can do what gay guys do to pass the time !

    Give it a rest, Jussie. Your ego isn't going to change reality.
