The Averroman Trial
- Police raided Averroman's home on trumped-up charges.
- They stole money, broke down doors, and made a mess of the house.
- No crime was found, and no charges were brought against Averroman.
- Over the next three years, Averroman wrote songs that specifically mocked all the officers involved, even using footage of the raids from his own home security camera.
- Songs with titles such as "Randy Walters is an Asshole" and "Lick Lisa's Ass" included one song accusing an officer of being a lesbian and having an affair with another officer's wife.
- During the raids, an officer appeared to be about to eat a lemon pound cake left on Averroman's kitchen counter. Averroman made an album specifically about this, mocking the officer's obesity.
- Enraged, the police filed a defamation lawsuit.
- Averroman appeared in court wearing a suit with an American flag pattern.
- The officers listened to the song while feigning crying and exaggerated the harm it caused them.
- One officer sued Afroman because Afroman wrote a song with lyrics claiming he slept with the officer's wife. When asked if Afroman had actually slept with his wife, the officer replied, "I don't know." This not only completely discredited his own accusation but also proved that Afroman could indeed have slept with his wife.
- Afroman's only witness at the trial was a police officer's ex-wife.
- The jury ultimately ruled in favor of Afroman.
The whole thing was a huge victory for free speech, and it was absolutely fucking ridiculous.
