Juror in viral Afroman trial can't believe cops even bothered with the case
A.V. Club • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Juror Missy expressed that the trial felt trivial and the Afroman songs involved seemed silly, doubting the officers' claims of significant harm or life changes resulting from the incident.
- Missy felt sympathy for officer Lisa Phillips, who was emotionally affected by the crude and derogatory lyrics of the song "Licc’em Low Lisa," which led to public attacks and harmful online content targeting her.
- Despite the emotional impact on Phillips, Afroman (Foreman) remained unapologetic, stating the lawsuit stemmed from the officers' wrongful raid on his home and that the songs were a reaction to their actions.
- Missy considered the officers' financial demands excessive, noting skepticism about any police officer having a million-dollar reputation to justify such a lawsuit.
