Thanks for the "clarification."

You’re “welcome.”

I feel as though I missed something here.

I was bitching earlier in the thread that a journalist put “presumed innocent” in scare quotes rather than just say the guy was presumed innocent.

No. He is presumed innocent.

No. He is presumed innocent.

I’ve seen only one indigo bunting around here — it was several years ago — but I did manage to get a picture.

I don’t often go to Facebook anymore, but when I do this is the first place I go. Attire’s Mind. <snip> This week two posts might be of interest to Fogbowsers. The most recent is a post about men’s suits, padding, and shoulders. The second you have to scroll down a few -church lady hats. Thank you ...

I’m so very sorry, Realist. This is such heartbreaking news.

I find it terrifying that the cop shot the teen when the teen was standing right in front of another person. However, Sugar Magnolia will be able to clarify this if she wishes to do so. I feel awful that I haven’t watched any of these videos. I didn’t watch a single George Floyd video, although I d...

Virginia legalized it today. Beginning July 1st, folks over 21 can possess up to one oz, and grow 4 plants per household so long as the plants aren’t in public view. Not that any of this matters to me. I can’t possess it or use it since I’m retired from the military. And I don’t think I would even i...

Fortunately we have a year's supply in the pantry (1 jar).

I have a lifetime supply, and I don’t have any!

That guy lives about 2.5 hours southwest of here, between Roanoke and Christiansburg. Parenthetically, my husband and I went out to dinner this evening for the first time in eons. The couple at the table next to us was talking very loudly with the people next to them, going on about how the election...

[ I realize that such rulings are somewhat rare. Usually, the appeals court simply sets aside the conviction and remands the case to the lower court for retrial, but there are circumstances in which a retrial is not possible, due to double jeopardy, so the defendant must be released. I don't think ...

I’m so, so sorry. Much love from both of us to you and Mia.

In theory , an appellate court find reversible error. And that the error was attributable to the state, such that double jeopardy would apply. In theory. It’s not universally true that an appellate court “can’t just decide he’s not guilty.” At least one state (Texas?) has factual sufficiency review...

The appeal court can not “set him free.” They could grant a new trial. They can’t just decide he’s not guilty. In theory , an appellate court find reversible error.

I just don’t think the defense could have gotten there. Mentally ill he may be, but I doubt he’s legally insane. I doubt they would even want to try. 'Legally insane' is in many ways worse than a guilty plea. I had a military client once who really was psychotic. She spent a few months in the State...

Greg Gutfeld: "I'm glad [Chauvin] was found guilty on all charges, even if he might not be guilty of all charges. I am glad that he is guilty of all charges because I want a verdict that keeps this country from going up in flames." (Note the groans from his Fox News colleagues.) Coz who c...

Save for the fact that he had a weird visage when he was snuffing George Floyd’s life out. I think he’s mentally ill. Defense never requested a mental evaluation. In hindsight it may not have been a bad idea. I doubt Chauvin would have agreed to it. Do we know that he never had one privately? In an...

Vibing good thoughts *so hard.*

He never dropped his head, closed his eyes, looked down...just no reaction other than looking confused at first and then angry. I hope he feels as helpless as George Floyd did. I found his demeanor very strange. I could not read it at all. He had to expect conviction though. A criminal defendant in...

My husband got really sick from Pfizer 2. I only got kind-of sick - just some chills and feeling blah. So hopefully ya’ll’ll be alright.

I believe a lot of these deluded cult members stormed the Capitol on January 6 thinking there would be no serious consequences because their cult leader would pardon them. If the cult leader could shoot someone on 5th Avenue without consequence what's a few beaten cops at the Capitol? :yeahthat: I ...
