A few unanswered questions regarding the wire.

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

1. Why did all of the main goons cop to murders when they didn't have to, basically killing their chances of parole. Especially Weebay and Chris. All they had on Chris was bugs dad via hair samples but that didn't prove he killed him. They had no murder weapon or eye witnesses to link him to the bodies in the vacant houses. They got Weebay for killing one person, Orlando, and the attempted Murder of Kima. He didn't have to cop to nothing else because they couldn't prove anything.

2. Speaking of Weebay, since he copped to killing Gant, does that mean Bird is set free ? And would that poke holes in a lot of other cases since their sole evidence was a lying witness?

3. Why didn't Levy show more flex on Pearlman. She was willing to have him indicted, but because she tried to extort him, even if he went to jail, everyone in Marlo's organization would've walked. Once he figured out their entire investigation was conducted illegally, most if not all of the evidence would've been inadmissible. Further digging would've led to the discovering of a police officer faking murders (serial killer), not to mention, everybody covered it up. The "dirt" Pearlman was referring to would've been a shyt storm and would've brought down a lot of people.

4. Why didn't Stringer simply threaten to testify against Clay Davis to get his money back. For all the book smarts he thought he had, a simple recorded conversation with Davis about accepting drug money would've been enough to keep him in check.

Chris copped because Marlo told him to do it. The deal was that Chris had to cop to all of the murders or they would prosecute Marlo. Marlo is the boss, Chris follows orders.

And Chris had more than the murder, he was also binged for conspiracy. Sydnor and Lester did a stakeout and watched Chris meet up with the greeks at the warehouse for the big $15 million drug bust. Then they caught him with the phone that spelled out the conspiracy. He was going down for life regardless.

They were both dead to rights on murder one...they were never ever gonna see daylight again, and if they eat those murders like they did, it shields Avon and Marlo, which it did. They both saw the streets again because of their main hitters taking the big punishment, and in both cases the reward is that their families were taken care of perpetually.

Lmao what is he gonna say.

'ahem, Your honor I am the second in command of a sprawling narcotic and vice trafficking criminal organization and when a state senator said he would launder my money, he didn't do so in good faith or in an expeditious manner. So, he should be convicted of laundering my money "

Again. All of their evidence was based on illegal wiretaps and surveillance. None of it would've been admissible. And since the mayor knew those homeless murders were fake, their would've been a huge conspiracy. A lot of public officials would've went to jail.

And I've never heard of so many people laying down for ONE person. Marlo said Chris would've copped to all the murders if he knew he would take care of his people. Why would he think that. Life with no parole yeah ok.

He could've been a confidential informant for the FBI . He would've been allowed to keep doing business as usual and simply bring down Clay Davis and whoever else he had dealings with. In the grand scheme of things, Marlo, Avon, String, they were all small time. Those aren't career cases.

You do realize neither lawyer or either side want any of the illegal shyt to come out right? They'll happily go along with it because otherwise their careers are finished. That is the whole point of the series breh. Corrupt institutions.

if he's a CI for the feds he CLEARLY would have to surrender his entire family and criminal enterprise. How would that even work? He goes to FBI like "listen you are aware I run the Barksdale international crime syndicate (they were in with the Greeks trafficking remember?) Well, I gave tens of thousands of dollars to a state senator (not fed, state), and I will implicate him, but you have to ignore my entire business interests...cool?"

If string threatened clay to do that, clay would've laughed him out of the office, dared him to do it, and finagled even more money out of him.

Avon would have never went along with Stringer being no fukking snitch for the FBI, and bringing all kinds of attention on their "small time" operation. So Stringer would have had to do it in silence, and look over his back every second, and that is even assuming he could reach any deal that involves full immunity and allows him to continue his life as a drug dealer (which he was attempting to do after his real estate shyt flopped). He would be done.

But all of that is irrelevant anyway because by the time Stringer realized he was being played, he was murdered shortly afterwards. Maybe after he sent Avon to prison, he would have tried to get Clay Davis implicated. But he was killed before he got the chance to deal with Clay Davis.

And no, that's not how that works. There are false confessions all of the time, and it's up to prosecutors to investigate and determine if it's true. Real life serial killers have confessed to dozens of murders, but only been convicted of a few of them because there was no evidence to support what they confessed to.

The only murders Wee-Bay was likely to get a conviction for was the ones where he told them where the body was or described something about the murder that only the murderer should know. He couldn't do that for Gant. In fact what he confessed to didn't actually match the crime scene. McNulty and Bunk discussed this in the finale of season 1.

They had more evidence that it was Bird that did it, ballistics and an eye-witness so the conviction would hold. Bird would probably try to appeal but he ain't getting out over that shyt.

Stringer ain't have no problem snitching or doing shyt in secret. He had D killed without asking Avon. He set up brother mouzone behind avons back. And let's not forget he snitched on avon.

Being a confidential informant is not the same as a witness. That's why it's called confidential. If stringer was smart enough he could've set up clay davis.

1. they didn't have to, they did so for reward. they were caught up on some shyt. they could either take the 1 charge they was caught on and do life... or take all the charges and do life with money in their account. they didn't do the shyt out of the kindness of their hearts

2. weebay wasn't charged with the murder that bird did.. between omar on the stand, bird having the murder weapon on him and the cops not believing Bay... they just charged him with the other shyt and let that one go

3. Levy didn't give two fukks about any of them nikkas.. He only cared about the money. Which is why he'd only fight hard for the bosses to stay free (money keep flowing) and would just plead out the rest.. the MOMENT his career was actually being threatened, you saw him turn p*ssy. well not p*ssy.. but quickly sold out all his clients in order to not have to face a trial of his own. Pearlman had BEEN on that fake shyt.. it's why her and mcnaulty fell out. remember she kept trying to slow up the subpoenas cause she wanted to make judge. and whenever mcnaulty would rock the boat, she'd start screaming about her job, over what the law actually was.

4. If you are a drug dealer, the absolute last thing you should ever do in life, is call the fukking police to report stolen money. the next thing you don't do, is get into a high profile case with a state senator, who could have every man in law enforcement fix their eyes on you in seconds. stringer and clay knew this... which is why stringer wanted to kill him vs involving cops... its why avon stopped the hit cause he saw the heat.. and why clay felt so comfortable robbing him... cause nobody involved with drugs was touching him legally or illegally unless they wanted the real fbi on they ass

So how did omar jump out of the building like Spider-Man and live ?

So how did omar jump out of the building like Spider-Man and live ?

Supposedly that really happened.

In one of the most exhilarating moments in the series, Omar is forced to flee an ambush gone wrong — after Chris, Snoop and Michael get the drop on him — by jumping out of a fourth story window.

For keen-eyed viewers, Donnie Andrews is also in the scene with Michael K. Williams and plays one of his allies who is ultimately gunned down.

Although some thought this latch ditch acrobatics was a step away from realism for the series, Andrews was not only adamant that this actually happened to him, but that he had actually jumped from a higher floor.

“That really happened to me,” Andrews said, “but I had to jump out of the sixth floor. It was either lead poisoning or take my chances, so I took my chances. I did it without thinking. If I’d thought about it, I might have taken the lead poisoning.”

He lived for awhile longer but the dope thing about it from a writing perspective is it had consequences. Him being all gimpy is what gave lil Kenard the fire to pop him. So although he survived the fall the jump still indirectly killed him.

Also, as said above me, that actually happened IRL.
