Waiting for karma to bite Linda Fairstein

Just watched the first two episodes of "When They See Us" on Netflix and it made my blood boil. Incredibly well done. And Linda Fairstein belongs in prison, not on the bestseller list. I hope she rots in hell for what she did.

Anyone else see it?

And Cindy, is it too late for me to become a civil rights attorney?

Thanks for the tip. I'll watch the documentary. It's amazing how this won't die--Trump uses it to fan his racist flames on occasion as well.

The case was overseen by a flamboyant, press-hungry assistant district attorney, Linda Fairstein (played by Felicity Huffman).

She picked the wrong week to play an entitled powerful woman who breaks the law to elevate her personal ambitions over less fortunate kids.

By the way, that quote is from this Economist review:

I was thinking the same thing.

It’s never too late.
