Shoulda just said this "you don't have to believe in his innocence to believe he should be free." and had a comment about how it's unnecessary to incarcerate people for non violent crimes.
Because like... I get it that it's hard to believe your brother lied like this but like... he definitely did. lmao
What does that do though? Is society in any way safer because this doofus spends time behind bars? What does that accomplish that other forms of justice can't do better?
Like I said, if we were dealing with any other situation, if this story hadn't been so widely publicized and if he weren't a celebrity, then sure, other forms of justice would be preferable. But what he did, adding to the skepticism actual victims of hate crimes already have to suffer through? Let him spend some time behind bars for that.
His brother Jocqui made a video saying Jussie was moved to the psych Ward in Cook County - his paperwork states that he was at risk of hurting himself.
Jocqui says this isn't true (that Jussie isn't in that state of self harm) and is unsure why he has been committed.
Given the rates of “suicides” that happen to black people in the prison system, I can understand his reasoning behind his proclamations. It’s a high profile case, which only draws more attention to him, which could put him at higher risk to become a victim, and have authorities say, “oh gee he killed himself by pummeling himself in the back of the head”
