EmpireFox: Skeletons Overflowing in the Lyons' Den

In my hair salon is where I saw the Empire Fox TV show soar in its first season.  Clients of all ages including those in their 50's, 60's and up, just were addicted to the Empire Fox series.  Watch parties with cocktails whose names were Empire inspired were all the rage. Empire Fox was a phenomena.

Now, a year later, the same show reportedly still maintains high ratings, but the addiction to watch it in real time has significantly curtailed. So I pondered why?  I started to reflect on the reasons people were drawn to the show initially.

So in Season 1:

1. Everyone wanted to know whether Lucious was going to commit to "Boo Boo Kitty" or "Cookie."
2. Everyone viewed The Lyons like the modern yet urban "Jeffersons" that finally "moved up and got their piece of the pie."
3. Everyone wanted to know who was going to inherit the Empire from Lucious.
4. Everyone knew that Lucious did not mind getting his hands dirty.
5. Everyone knew that Lucious always stayed three steps ahead.

Now

1. Everyone knows that Lucious is not committed.  He can not be trusted to just settle down with one woman.
2. Everyone knows that the Lyon Family has skeletons literally and figuratively speaking stockpiling in a closet that they can barely keep shut.  Dysfunction and scandal is a common thread running through the Lyon family.
3. Everyone knows after Jamal took a bullet for his dad, he will forever be the successor to the Empire.
4. Everyone sees that Lucious now calls the hits and let lawyer Thirsty manage the executions.
5. Everyone is amazed that Lucious is constantly reacting to legal shakedowns, Grand jury indictments, and a "shotgun" wedding officiated by his own son.

In the future, we can only hope that Lucious can do less "shot calling" and stay a few more steps ahead in order to return Empire back to their "winning formula."

DNA Expert NEVER testified in 2008 Walton Way rape case

According to the sentencing transcript on page 10,  Assistant D.A. (now, D.A.) Ashley Wright states:

MS. WRIGHT:  I believe that we do not need to go any further in establishing a factual basis, as the Court has heard the evidence and the Court, of course, is aware that we would be providing a DNA expert from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation crime lab to indicate that there is a match to the defendant or his identifical twin.

NOTE:  Daniel J. Craig was the D.A. on this case.

*********

So, in the first two days of the 2008 Walton Way rape trial, the DNA Expert from the Georgia Bureau of Investigations NEVER testified.  Why?  A life sentence for a "non-violent" man was on the table, and the most important piece of the case, the DNA Report, was NEVER confirmed by a DNA Expert.

There was a "burglary"/external vaginal DNA sample taken, and a "rape"/internal vaginal DNA sample taken.  NO "rape" DNA match was ever reported.  If the DNA Expert could have testified, then maybe that person would have better explained the DNA Report and how to read it when you have burglary and rape charges STACKED within one case. However, none of this happened.  The State relied on its own limited understanding of how to read GBI DNA Reports.

In addition, in my opinion, most people would probably find it hard to believe that a burglar with his hands full of stolen goods would put all the money, jewelry, and coins down for a quick one minute rape, but the lawyers in this case apparently felt it made sense.

Again, burglary is wrong.  

Stealing is wrong. 

False witnessing is wrong. 

Railroading defendants with crimes that they did NOT commit is wrong.
