I would like to say, no matter what people are saying right now, James is INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY! Not only that, God will have the last say in this whole situation. The Holy Bible tells us, ‘He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone’ – John 8:7. I just want everyone to know that James is a die hard Christian, an exceptional person, and will be my friend and my brother until this earth passes away!
