Must be a thug thing

Powe is a good dude.

Always struck me as such. Sat next to him in a class at OM and he was incredibly nice.

Right, I don’t want to downplay it because we don’t know what happened yet, but just because the headlines say kidnapping doesn’t mean he grabbed someone off the street and held them in his basement for ransom.

A friend of mine owned a pawn shop and would give jewelry stores some big pieces he’d get to sell on a consignment basis. One guy sold a bunch of his stuff and didn’t pay him, so he went to his store to collect. He was asking for his money owed or merchandise to make good on his debt (guy had millions sitting in his showcases). Long story short, with no threatening of violence, no weapon, etc he was charged with kidnapping…while in the other guys store. I’ve seen the video recording a dozen times, the only thing even remotely threatening he said was “I’m not leaving until you pay me”. How that constituted as kidnapping and forcing the guy to stay in his own building, I’m not sure, but it held and he had lawyers trying to get him to plea out as if he had no fighting chance. It eventually got tossed when the other party was indicted for grand theft & tax evasion (did the same to many other people and the house of cards collapsed), but it still happened and was a legal nightmare for over a year and damn near bankrupted him.

Relax. I offered a hypothetical scenario that could explain the serious charges against Powe. You are claiming I made conclusions that I never stated. I used the words “could be and may be”. Those aren’t definitive terms.

And you don’t know shite either until evidence is presented at trial. Please promise me you will never defend a client in a criminal case. Your histrionic perspective before the facts are known is very concerning.
