"Pro-tip: If you’re a rich, white, famous defendant, you shouldn’t invoke a case comparing yourself to a group of Black teens who were falsely accused of rape, railroaded into show trials without effective counsel, and then unjustly sentenced to death. And you really shouldn’t do that before a Black judge who was a former public defender. To do so, as retired Judge LaDoris Cordell remarked to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, was not only wrong but 'stunningly stupid.'”

"I simply have to observe this: It probably irks Trump to no small degree that the professionalism, experience and skill of three powerful Black women—District Attorney Fani Willis in Georgia, Attorney General Letitia James in New York, and the Hon. Tanya Chutkan in D.C.—will largely determine his fate and even his freedom in this era of accountability.

Karma sometimes has a wicked sense of irony."
