Why do I watch these things?


I am not sure, exactly, except that I relate to the sagas of grueling legal hell.

For some reason, I turned on a documentary of a very famous rapist named Alex kelly not far from my home town who fled the country after two girls accused him of rape. He spent almost a decade on lavish ski vacations, all on his parent's dime. The prosecution knew this, but never prosecuted his parents. Why the fuck not? The "We would do anything for our boy defense" as an excuse would be bullshit in the gospel according to MC.

While he was eventually and rightfully convicted, Perhaps it is the 1 year anniversary of his release that has me raging, but I just don't understand how people continue to defend him.
