In reply to the discussion: I would like to remind us older folk and tell the younger folk [View all]hlthe2b
(114,122 posts)11. I'd like to remind EVERYONE that if the lead prosecutor in GA were a white MALE (or probably even
a black MALE), this would not even be an issue discussed. PERIOD
It is blatant racist sexism layered and effused with ugly attitudes toward women who do not meet fascist controlling XIAN men's concept of "chaste." And there have long been nasty racist depictions of ALL black women as hypersexualized.
Every damned bit of this is at play and there is no damned way it would have been discussed if the prosecutor were male.
I'm not saying I don't think Willis was foolish not to have taken this into account and deferred from giving anyone anything to use against her (as would have been the case for me in her shoes), but it would appear that she's fed up with this and refused to bow to those who perpetuate such racist misogyny.

Oh jeez...Forgot about him and I forgot his name. Wasn't he the "uncooperative witness"?

Right, and the outcome of the trial was a verdict of not guilty for the defendant.

At worse - this is a "code of conduct" issue, and I am not really sure that it is. But I would like to point out
