Lemon Juice Puts The Squeeze On Twitter, Blackberry, In Order To Find The Man Who Set Him Up

Lemon Juice wants to put the squeeze on the men who set him up. And to do that he has to put the squeeze on Twitter and Blackberry.
Juice was falsely accused of Tweeting an picture of the teen victim of Satmar pedophile Nechemya Weberman illegally taken while the girl was testifying at Weberman’s trial and was criminally charged in November 2012.
Criminal charges against Juice were dropped by the new Brooklyn DA Ken Thompson late last month.
But before Thompson took office, Juice was in court at least a dozen times and racked up considerable legal bills.
Now Juice is reportedly suing Twitter and Blackberry to reveal the identity of the man who created a false Twitter account in Juice’s name and then used it to Tweet the photo.
Juice “had no knowledge of the identity of the owner or operator" of the Twitter account until prosecutors turned over discovery documents that contained an email address linked to the Twitter account along with the IP address of a computer that logged into it, the Courthouse News reported.
Prosecutors subsequently found out the Twitter account really belonged to Moses Klein – believed by Juice and others to be the Moses Klein who is a senior aide to the Satmar Rebbe Rabbi Zalman Leib Teitelbaum.
Juice wants to know for sure, but the court redacted the information that would prove it. So he’s suing Blackberry and Twitter to get it.
"The only way to obtain the true address and phone number of 'Moses Klein,' and to obtain the identity of the Twitter account's operator, is by and through this special [legal] proceeding,” Juice’s suit reportedly says.
This should mean the Brooklyn DA’s office had proof that Klein set Juice up and intimidated a witness but did not act on it when Charles J. Hynes was DA. It also appears to mean that the new Brooklyn DA, Ken Thompson, who took office in January, has not acted on it, either.
