Noted defense attorney Mark Geragos called the 16 felony counts against his client an outrage, telling Anderson Cooper: “I defy anybody to find any indictment anywhere where somebody has brought 16 counts for being a victim of a hate crime.” He added: “They have not talked to one person at Fox who has said he was dissatisfied with his money. They have not interviewed one person connected with the show Empire who says he was dissatisfied with his money. They are the ones that started their internal investigation about the leaks because all of the information that was being leaked was false.”
