    The hotel surveillance video, obtained by CNN and released Friday, is reportedly from March 5, 2016, and compiled from multiple camera angles. The incident matched an allegation levied in Ventura’s November sex trafficking, rape and physical abuse lawsuit against the hip hop mogul. The two settled the civil suit one day after it was filed.

    Settlements aren’t justice. It just means the wealthy can do anything they want and just cut a check.

    The more wealth discrepancy the cheaper it is for them.

      Settlements aren’t justice

      We dont have justice. More than 95% of all criminal cases are plead out. Which is often just an economic decision if you can’t afford a lawyer, because a court appointed lawyer will just instruct you to take the deal.

      Our entire court system would fall apart, if even half those cases went to trial.
