400 million guns. Anything to try to take them away ain't happening.

Who has tried to take away private ownership of guns? It’s such a false issue.

 

And that is one of the biggest things wrong with our legal system: The wealthier you are (or in this case, the better access to funds), the more likely you are to get a defense team who can afford to do this kind of prep. If you can’t afford it, you get a guy who barely has time to learn your name, forget run mock trials to figure out the best defense strategy. So we get people who didn’t commit a crime doing time and people who did being acquitted. Not saying the rich shouldn’t have access to the best lawyers, but the poor should have better access to a quality defense. It would lessen (but not eliminate) the inherent racism in the system that sees a disproportionate amount of people of color be incarcerated.

 

I'm sure that's true. I'm also sure he was coached to do that.
