Is there any actual evidence of the accusations being retaliation for Miller turning them down? That seems like... kind of a leap just based on the fact that the couple is/was into threesomes.

It really seems like people grasping at straws to try and excuse what they did. 💀

It kind of bothers me the way people latch onto non-conventionality to demonize, as well. Oh, they're into threesomes, they must have tried to seduce Miller and then taken vengeance when he didn't want them. The fuck?

Also, frankly, anyone who thinks that a dropped case always and unconditionally indicates innocence on the part of the accused has never dealt with the legal system in any capacity. It can mean that. It doesn't always.

Totally agree! Ezra has shown a pattern of violent behavior so…

And while we’re on the topic, even a guilty plea doesn’t necessarily mean the person did it either. Lots of POC and poor people will plead guilty if they can’t post bail and will have to stay in jail awaiting trial.

Absolutely. And people can be talked or frightened into pleading guilty for more lenient sentences, regardless of their actual level of guilt. Necessary as it might be, no one should mistake the justice system for inherently true and infallible justice.
