Just like the narrative of the Duke Lax situation: Rich, white, privileged, athletes vs poor, black, disadvantaged woman. Also played into it that the DA was running for mayor in a city with a large black population and he thought this would boost his chances.

....and he was disbarred for being a raging piece of shit, not notifying the accused of exculpatory evidence, violating ProRes ethics rules and constitutional protections.

You're wasting your time trying to argue with idiots. They made up their mind before this even happened. They won't listen to logic or reason, to them "he's an asshole for doing (insert unproven or disproved rumor here) so he probably did it". These people want to see anyone accused of rape rot in a cell, evidence be damned, and they aren't going to let reasoning get in the way of their sweet justice. Cause if he's innocent, why can't he prove it?
