Artist Rod Webber walked out of a Miami courthouse Thursday and declared victory as he took a bite out of a banana, peel and all. He says the case has been dismissed.
He was charged with criminal mischief in December when he wrote in lipstick, “Epstien didn't kill himself," on a blank wall where another artist had duct-taped a banana that sold for over $100,000 and was widely parodied on social media.
