I agree. I like her, but a lot of the stuff she does is suspect. She also hangs around Mike Tyson who is a convicted rapist and domestic abuser

You really think Tyson did it?

Well I don't think he did it.

Well I don't think he did it.

Why? The guy was a loose cannon.

I'm not saying he's not crazy as shit. I just don't think he's a rapist.

This is what Tyson recently said about it:

“I didn’t rape her,” he says. “They wanted to convict me more than anything in the world. There’s not a person in the history of that state that got convicted for rape that did less time than I did. They wanted to be known for the state that convicted me. If the hanging judge really believed I did that, they would have given me 60 years. But they gave me six, which got cut down to three.”

“Dershowitz claimed that she’d cried wolf once in the past,” I note.

“And what, you put yourself in a situation like that twice?” he says. “I just thought that was bullshit. I didn’t have a good image at the time and was very foul-mouthed. It’s just stereotypes. If you’re big, black, and strong, you’re a rapist; if you’re smart and Jewish, you’re a tax cheat; if you’re an Italian in a nice suit, you’re a fuckin’ gangster; if you’re a Latino, you’re having a bunch of babies and making money off welfare. These are stereotypes, and we get convicted in this country based on these stereotypes.”

I've heard that claim before, that this wasn't the first time Washington had accused someone of rape. So what's the deal, she just has the bad luck that everyone wants to rape her?

I obviously don't know if he did it or not but I don't think he did. And as he said, I think that once the accusation was made the conviction was guaranteed simply because he was the person that he was at the time.

Don't agree with this statement. This is the country who let OJ Simpson off because he had money. Tyson had more money to defend himself with.

Read this article:

Tysoon has been arrested several times for attacking people. Robin Givens has said several times he attached her physically and sexually.

Then there's this testimony:

"Partial corroboration of Washington's story came via testimony from Tyson's chauffeur, Virginia Foster, who confirmed Desiree Washington's state of shock. Further testimony came from Thomas Richardson, the emergency room physician who examined Washington more than 24 hours after the incident and confirmed that Washington's physical condition was consistent with rape"


No one can be certain what happened unless they were there, but my opinion is he did it

That's true, but at the time OJ was known as a beloved sports hero and wasn't thought of as an uncouth thug like Tyson was.

I actually read that article. And I guess I had a different takeaway. What I got from it was that Tyson liked to fuck a lot of girls, and he also was a popular and wealthy person, so it was inevitable that one of those bitches would eventually attempt to extort him with a rape charge.

Then there's this testimony:

"Partial corroboration of Washington's story came via testimony from Tyson's chauffeur, Virginia Foster, who confirmed Desiree Washington's state of shock.

I knew that about the hospital visit, but I believe Tyson's defense there is that she liked shit really rough, which is plausible. I was unaware of his chauffeur's testimony though. I'd say of all the things you've presented that's the one that would make me think a little harder about the case.

There's always two sides to every story, so you cant know for sure without being there. Guilty or not guilty means nothing to me. To be honest, I think our jury trial court system is a joke.

It's definitely imperfect and a lot of innocent people have gone to prison because of it. But try as I might--and I have--I haven't been able to come up with anything better.

I think starting with a jury of intelligant people--rather than the 12 you think you can influence the most to side with you--would be a good place to start renovations
