lies and when to ignore them is interesting 😉
Michael lied when he gave Sonny an alibi for killing John Cates. It's also a crime.
Michael lied and committed insider trading (uhgain) when he and Curtis released falsified numbers to steal Aurora. It's also a crime.
It's ridiculous that he felt the need to lie about the death threat but the way they kept throwing around "alleged assault" was rigodamndiculous. He didn't punch himself in the face. And um, here's a novel idea that Chase or the ADA could have considered from police academy 101. Did anyone check Michael's knuckles to see if they were bruised/swollen?
And lastly, you are wrong. I hate Sonny and Carly. I have never once said I hated Michael. I think he's a momma's boy who needs to unlatch from his mom's boob and either step fully into manhood/leading man status or be killed off. I had high hopes when Rory took over because CD range was limited. But the writers are slowly having him behave the exact same way. He lets mommy influence him and doesn't call her out on crossing boundaries.
I can believe that Drew is pond scum and also be sick of Sonny/Michael/Jason/Carly constantly skating like Nancy Kerrigan. I'm guessing you don't mind because you are a fan of 3 of those people.
