This is why you dont always just "fight it" even when you are innocent contrary to coli popular opinion. Since it was only a misdemeanor Majors should have took a plea deal, Pay her some money to sign an NDA, take some anger management classes and do a brief apology tour and sit on Oprahs couch. Breh would have been back by now to normal.
What hurt him the most in public opinion was the text messages that had nothing to do with the current incident he was being charged for. Those would have never come out had he took a plea. You dont always fight it when the person has initimate dirt on you or things that can make you look bad in the public. This is why what diddy did was smart cause as bad as it has been for him so far it would be 10x worse if cassie was talking and all his text and convos got out there for the public to judge and take out of context.
A black man will never get a fair trial in america. Especially a dark skinned black man being accused by a white woman or white passing woman (aka cassie). Coli brehs better smarten up.
Public debate and scholarly research has largely concentrated on the vast array of disparities between blacks and whites in their treatment by and experiences with the criminal justice system. Nevertheless, a growing body of research shows that African Americans’ life chances are internally stratified by gradational differences in their skin tone. This study brings together research on race, color, and the criminal justice system by using nationally-representative data to examine whether (and to what extent) skin tone is associated with policing and punishment among African Americans. I find that skin tone is significantly associated with the probability of having been arrested and/or incarcerated, net of relevant controls. Further analyses, using a sub-sample of whites drawn from the same nationally-representative survey, show that disparities in policing and punishment within the black population along the colour continuum are often comparable to or even exceed disparities between blacks and whites as a whole.
