Everyone deserves a fair trial, but shysters like this Jose Baez are in no small way a big part of what has gone wrong in this country...
From MNHawk's link -
Johnson's family has retained prominent criminal defense and trial attorney Jose Baez, who is best known for obtaining an acquittal in the Casey Anthony murder trial in Orlando, Florida.
The state's attorney's office said Baez entered a written not guilty plea on his client's behalf on July 2. Johnson's first court appearance is scheduled in Leon County Court on July 22.
"While it is clear from the video that De'Andre Johnson was not the initial aggressor, his family wants to take the lead in helping him learn and grow from this experience," Baez said Monday in a statement. "He is currently participating in community service and faith-based programs focused on battered women, substance abuse and the empowerment of children.
"De'Andre is extremely embarrassed by this situation and would like to express his heartfelt apologies to everyone, including those who were directly affected, Coach Fisher and his teammates, the entire Florida State University community, as well as his family and friends."
What a couple of douchebags! Not the initial aggressor? Is the central thrust of this a-hole's defense going to hinge on this chickensh*t micro-aggression crap? I don't care what the drunk white girl might have said to this loser...punching a girl in the face? Only in an effed up community filled with trash does that act ever get condoned. As screw your after-the-fact spinmeister BS, why anybody buys that garbage is beyond me.
This little incident pretty much covers most of the bases of what is totally effed up about this society. And remember, this is what the leading Progs have fostered and excused over so many decades...
It's not poor Deandre's fault he is a piece of scat...he is mostly to blame...the never indicted co-conspirators continue to merrily go about their mischief unfettered...
