Sadly I'm not reading as much these days. I used to read on buses and subways, but now they're usually too crowded. Buses because of a shortage of drivers (real, but the transit authority leader conveniently omits that she used the pandemic as an excuse to fire many). Subways because of closures to prepare for the looming nightmare called the olympics

Tuning in late again .... was stuck on some interesting BBC audio docs and lost track of time ... unfortunate that the guy died when someonne else could have been "Third death in Fulton County jail since July..."

True about him being Black, but Trevian Kutti is too.
In this case, I think it's more about money than race. Then again, why the MAGA crowd and funders would support others and not him is a valid question. As is why he thought these people (from Trump down) would have his back

One important point is that he said he couldn't afford a private lawyer and the magistrate judge denied him a public defender, saying it would be up to the presiding judge

"Cohen questioned Monday why Trump would not pay the legal bills for his other co-defendants who were indicted in Fulton County, Ga. — such as attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis.
“Donald’s an idiot,” Cohen told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on “The Source.” “Let me just be very clear: When it comes to paying money, he is truly an idiot. He has not learned yet that … three people you don’t want to throw under the bus like that: your lawyer, your doctor and your mechanic. Because one way or the other, you’re going to go down the hill and there’ll be no brakes.”
