https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/09/us/oberlin-college-bakery-lawsuit-payment-reaj/index.htmlFor anyone who remembers it, the Oberlin college bakery scandal is now finally at an end.
Oberlin college has lost its appeals process all the way up to the Ohio supreme court and is now ordered to pay $36.59 million to the bakery they falsely defamed as racist and tried to get shut down
The Oberlin VP and staff basically just kept trying to doggedly stick by their false accusation even after the subjects of the original story confessed, even after it was clear, even after they got sued, even after they lost the lawsuit and the appeals suit and now the supreme court declining
But at the end of the day, denying facts won't change facts. Now they're stuck with the bill
lmao
In August 2017, nine months after the three students were arrested,
Aladin and Endia Lawrence pleaded guilty to attempted theft and aggravated trespass, court documents state.
The third student also pleaded guilty to attempted theft and aggravated trespass. Her case has been expunged, Traci Orlando, civil secretary for Judge John R. Miraldi, said in 2019.
In a written statement released that same year,
Aladin confessed to using a fake ID to try to buy alcohol when a shop clerk tried to detain him."This unfortunate incident was triggered by an attempt to purchase alcohol," Aladin wrote, according to court documents.
so the admitted crime of buying booze underage, which tens of thousands of under-21 college students try to do every year, and theft/violence (which is a much more serious crime) turned into a $37M judgement for a pale pasty privileged lefty college (which tried to obstruct justice) to pay restitution to a small business?
victory for logic and the law for once!
never fear lefties brandon will EO this judgment away in the name of “fixing racism”
e: and if it doesn’t work Oberlin will raise tuition by say $20k per student per year ($10k to cover debt forgiveness and $10k to cover these costs)
