Judge denies Jay-Z’s efforts to dismiss case accusing him of raping girl, 13
Jay-Z’s legal efforts to dismiss a case accusing him of raping a 13-year-old girl in 2000 have been denied by a judge in New York, with the judge in the case condemning a lawyer for the hip-hop mogul for aggressive tactics.
Jay-Z, whose given name is Shawn Carter, has denied the allegations, but the judge in the case used strong language in attacking his legal team’s actions.
“Carter’s lawyer’s relentless filing of combative motions containing inflammatory language and ad hominem attacks is inappropriate, a waste of judicial resources, and a tactic unlikely to benefit his client,” Judge Analisa Torres wrote in the court order.
Carter’s legal team have been pushing for a dismissal of the rape claim. Torres said the court “will not fast-track the judicial process merely because counsel demands it”.

Rich and black usually distills to black for these purposes
Yup.
It's a balancing scale.
Rich + Famous + Black - Male +
So right now he's just slightly ahead average Joe. But certain crimes weight differently, rape might make male a minus and black count as double -.
I wish I could carry on this sarcasm... But it is way too close to reality.

Time will tell, he has pardoned other rappers/musicians with federal charges
keep in mind jay-z is not running for president, so the law applies differently to him
For reference, I had to look it up: Jay-Z was 31 at the time…
Jesus fuck… I want to downvote you to hell for making me aware of that.
That’s not what that’s for.
They didn't downvote tho, so I'm unsure of the problem here.
Maybe you're not wrong, but at this point, that battle is long lost.
It's on my screen and I'll push it whenever the hell I feel like it
Why is it rape now but just sexual assault for gaetz?
with gaetz i’ve even seen some mealy-mouthed news websites referring to it as “sex with a minor in a way that violated state laws”. it’s crazy
"I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT sex with a minor in a way that violated state laws"
Why the fuck is Gaetz not facing trial? How is he just getting a pass??? It blows my mind
White guy
Iirc it's the burden of proof ... but I could be wrong on that.
terrifyingly ugly man
I don't think you're wrong and it's weird the people in the comments are bothering to defend HIM.
oh no, don't say something about the rapist whose music I grew up with
Fuck off.
He's ugly trash.
Can you be more specific?
yes - Jay-Z has a face like a newborn baby crossed with a bloodhound
Got any selfies so we can compare who is uglier?
I think being a pedophile rapist makes Jay-Z ugly, no?
It's definitely him, but he's also a billionaire so I guess the joke's on me.
Provide a photo of yourself?
Goodness no, this is the internet.
Hide behind your anonymity whilst making petty comments.
Jay-Z is an asshole, but i wouldn't say he has a "face like a newborn baby crossed with a bloodhound", there are plenty of good reasons to insult the guy and the best you could do was attack his appearance.
