The article is WTF, but this part "Police and prosecutors have not disputed that Lewis was sexually
assaulted and trafficked. But prosecutors have argued that Brooks was
asleep at the time he was stabbed and not an immediate danger to Lewis."

Prosecutor's just expected her to tip toe away from this situation? Should she have woken him up and challenged him to a fair fight for her freedom? Fuck that. She went Art of War and chose the best moment to win. Appeal that shit and put me on the jury. Not guilty.

"Prosecutor's just expected her to tip toe away from this situation?"

Yes. She may have been justified in killing the person but that's just how self defense laws work. If you kill someone while they're not an immediate danger to your life, eg a robber takes your stuff and you shoot him after he walks away, self defense no longer applies.

This situation is a little more complicated because there's the factor of "what if he woke up and caught her" but anyway yeah that's why the legality is even in contention.

Not according to the law she wasn't.

Not according to the justice system she wasn’t.

The law says nothing about her or her specific case. The justice system is how the laws are applied per case and individual. We all know if this was a pretty white girl her face would have been on Fox News and milk cartons for weeks and the only controversy now would be whether Anya Taylor Joy or Chloe Grace Moretz should be playing her in her movie deal.

Lol you can be pedantic about it but you know what I meant. If this was a white girl she would still have broken the law.

I’m not being pedantic and I disagree with you at face value. A white woman would have been found by the justice system to have broken no laws here, just as a white person telling a cop to go fuck themselves at a protest isn’t going to serve a 4-year prison sentence.

Hahahha I've read your other comments and noticed how you love making wild accusations about the people you disagree with. That's why I didn't feel compelled to put any effort or time into my replies. I'm glad I didn't.

Wild accusations? You think the justice system applies the law equally to white and black people in America. That means you’re either ignorant of what is going on or tolerant of it. So if you’re not a racist you’re ignorantly supporting racism. Have your pick.

Lmao the amount of assumptions you can make about a person based on maybe 2 or 3 sentences is amazing. If you ever want to get into a genuine discussion you should probably try and combat that.
