The Mac Miller Case
The Mac Miller Case
**This article/blog/piece is based on
numerous hours of conversation with Ryan Reavis in the Santa Ana Jail. I was his cellmate for approximately two
weeks. Specifically, I was violated on community
supervision (the feds) for exposing corruption and being a renegade. It’s the type of person I am. Nevertheless,
I was violated on community supervision, sent to prison in Pennsylvania,
and since I was no longer required to report to the United States Probation
Department (the judge terminated my supervised released upon completion of the
prison sentence) I was allowed to get a flight to where I needed to go after
release. I chose to relocate to California
to move away from the law enforcement corruption in Western New York.
The
Bureau of Prisons flew me to Los Angeles in April. I was released to a privately, and terribly,
run halfway house in El Monte, California.
While there, the feds, again, had their little worm snitches surround me because they’re so terrified of my media and, for some reason, want to know
what I’m going to write about next. Meaning the halfway house rats were running
around snitching on me and telling staff everything I talked about—worried about
what I may write or say on a podcast. I had
no idea that I was this famous or powerful.
I was eventually written up by staff for made-up
nonsense once I let them know I wasn’t going to take their bullshit and, in turn, was required to finish the last thirty days of my halfway house time in
prison. Because of coronavirus, coupled
with how the feds contract out to local municipalities, I was picked up by the
Santa Ana Police Department and brought to their jail. For the first two weeks, I was in isolation
because of coronavirus. After a negative
test result, I moved to a cell with Ryan Reavis. The feds have a policy that you cell with
your race—it’s just how things happen.
This is where we met, did the prison thing (exchange
of stories and assurance that neither of us are snitches or sex offenders), and
began our time together. Because of the
pandemic, inmates were only allowed out of their cells for a few hours a day. So, Ryan and I talked a lot and got to know
each other a little bit better as we lived in this closet together. He checked my background, learned of my education,
and asked me to review his paperwork. At
this point in my sentence and life, I was hesitant with helping anymore inmates
with their cases. I was almost done with
my sentence and simply wanted to leave this wretched system behind me. However, I read it and offered whatever
knowledge I could shell out. I told him that I’m
not a trained lawyer and am a rogue social scientist. He laughed and still listened to what I had
to say. I wasn’t concerned about him
looking for anything on me to bring to the feds—because he never asked any
questions that made me wonder. If you
think this is strange, let me tell you that the feds are scum of the Earth when
it comes to law enforcement. All they do
is use rats, undercover operations, and bugs—and they put them in jail cells
and other alike places. And a lot of this law enforcement is not inline with constitutional law. By all means,
look into their tactics—fuckin’ crazy!
All in all, this piece is about how Ryan Reavis—a defendant in a case that the United States has brought against him because of Mac Miller’s overdose—is innocent of the conspiracy resulting in a homicide charge. I only mention this charge because we never talked about any other issues like we did with this charge.
Given the sensitive nature of the matter, I
want everyone to know that I refuse to make jokes or be sarcastic in this piece
out of respect for the deceased and his friends and family. Forewarning, it may be a bit dry.
The Charge
The homicide
charge involving a drug sale—in the federal system and elsewhere—is complete
bullshit and has been discussed in numerous United States Supreme Court cases
and the highest courts in the state systems.
The routine underlying question of the constitutionality of this charge
is often discussed with a comparison.
Which is, does the bartender get arrested for serving a person who later
hits someone with their car and kills them?
Do you blame the bartender too, basically?
And then other specific questions always arise. Does the substance matter? Even if it’s illegal (See Burrage v.
United States, 12-7515; see “scope of cause” argument)?
Personal and Legal Opinion (Neither Reflect
the Factual Content of the Case Involving Ryan Reavis)
Personally,
I believe a person who uses drugs is aware of the dangers and that holding the
dealers accountable for a death if they did not know the substance would cause
it for a specific person is outrageous.
Drug users contact how many drug dealers a day, in a week, a month, or year? Do drug users live a risky lifestyle by their
own choice? If yes, then a drug dealer can’t
be held accountable for a drug overdose-related homicide unless they knew that the
person who they sold drugs to was going to die or would most likely die or
become seriously or permanently injured, or know that an additional party will be hurt or killed. It’s that simple, yet simultaneously terrible because it’s associated
with human death.
The
legal opinion of cases involving drug-related deaths often goes for prosecution
because of politics. The idea of letting
illegal drug dealers off the hook tends to be a big influence in the minds of
judges while making decisions related to these matters. Victims’ family members and friends are calling
for justice, anti-drug advocates are swirling around in justices’ brains when a
drug-related death case arises, and many trial judges in the state systems are
elected officials. Disappointing the public
is nothing that any judge or prosecutor wants, especially if they’re voted into
office.
Moreover,
judges and prosecutors don’t treat accused drug dealers like they treat large
and wealthy organizations, or doctors, that’ve faulty products and, in turn, cause
death. Legitimate business—in the eyes
of the law—usually includes people who're not involved in the underground drug
world. This only heightens the pessimism
of a judge or prosecutor while on duty. Politics, and care for personal reputations, does find itself heavily involved in these
types of cases, that is.
The Evidence
The evidence in the Ryan Reavis case is extremely weak and the government, and especially the DEA, is attempting to cover their asses by not admitting that they fucked-up. All it includes is chit-chat text messages and evidence of another group of people delivering drugs to Mac Miller close to the same time that it's alleged that Mac Miller met whoever for the alleged drugs that killed him. The connectivity that the federal government is reaching for is ridiculous and in the realm of prosecutorial misconduct.
Case in point, if the prosecutor can prove
that Reavis put pills in Mac Miller’s hand and he (Reavis) knew that they were
going to kill him (Mac Miller), then present the proof without any
ambiguity. The problem is that the
United States government can’t present this factually, so they’re playing the “break him down”
game. Which includes forcing defendants
to stay in jail and serve time regardless of the facts of their legal situation. The federal courts have no one watching them
and they do whatever they want until people start watching them. It’s time to start watching this case more
closely.
The Hoopla
Prosecutors in the Ryan Reavis case are using the media propaganda surrounding fentanyl and the celebrity status of Mac Miller to have a decision rendered in their favor. The rappers are pissed, his (Mac Miller’s) homies are pissed, his (Mac Miller’s) family and management is pissed, and Ariana Grande is claiming to be suffering from PTSD—it’s a perfect storm for overzealous prosecutors.
It needs to be
known that these emotions should be not guiding the facts of the Mac Miller situation. As understandable as they are, a death
happened because of addiction—and not because of a deliberate causation by Reavis and
others.
Conclusion
Law enforcers,
lawmakers, and celebrities are constantly poking their noses around my
business, it was no surprise for me that I made it into a cell with Ryan
Reavis. For whatever reason, the law
enforcers and others think this is great, yet all they do is bitch about my
media and cry like babies when it’s distributed. Literally, they make no damn sense and are
dumb as hell! There's your tax dollars hard at work. Regardless, I’d like everyone
to think about how the jackass cops put me in a cell with Ryan Reavis and were probably
expecting me to write about it afterwards.
Name another writer that deals with the shit I have to deal with? And think about how fucked-up it is to
send someone to prison just to do that.
I find it specially strange because this isn’t a piece advocating for the
finding of guilt for Reavis—it’s the opposite.
Furthermore, everyone needs to know that the death of Mac Miller isn’t cool or something that I want to write about. I’m not the commercialized media that leeches onto terrible tragedies to make a buck and feel important. Fuck the scum-sucker national and local news media fucks!
Overall, the charge that involves a drug sale that resulted in a death is frivolous and can’t be proven to be true in the Ryan Reavis case. The case is being propped up as something it’s not because of the untimely death of Mac Miller and how great he was. The government is using his (Mac Miller’s) death for unconstitutional administrations of law and is simply trying to appease the media and Mac Miller’s family members and peers. That’s not how the law works.
R.I.P.
Mac Miller
