guilty on all

The military jury gets a copy.

They want some testimony from Pecker read back. Yes. Testimony that proves the conspiracy which Bragg didn't charge. Still relevant to Trump's subsequent conduct and guilt, but Bragg should have charged the conspiracy as well. Isn’t conspiracy a lesser included offense - that is, all of the element...

She said they could re-file. It would be easier to meet and confer, then re-file. If they re-file do they stand a chance of getting a new judge? No. They’d meet and confer, then re-file. I think the likelihood of there ever being a new judge in this case hovers around zero. All these pundits breath...

How did Blanche get away with saying Trump says he never slept with Daniels? Trump never took the stand. If I were the prosecutor I would have objected to that. ETA: I suppose he’ll address it in his argument, but he has to walk a fine line. He can’t argue that the defense had any burden. He has to ...

He’s going to ruin that shirt.

How does one have sex with a woman without her consent without using force? Inability to consent (intoxication, mental incapacity), fraud, and the fear of the use of force are common methods. And I expect coercion and extortion are the most common methods (in the military justice system). As in, an...

Where does "Sexual Assault" move higher to "Rape". What is the threshold.? Seems simple to me but Imma just an old school midwestern boy. IIRC it has to do with force. Pretty much. There are other differences between rape and sexual assault, but the rape cases almost always invo...

Not to pick nits or anything, but he wasn’t actually charged with rape. If he had been, the maximum punishment would’ve been life without the possibility of parole. But he was charged with sexual assault, adultery, and conduct unbecoming, an officer and a gentleman. We would, of course, colloquially...

The State does not have to prove the underlying felony beyond a reasonable doubt.

I haven’t been following the trial that closely, but I don’t doubt it. From what I’ve seen, I think there’s enough to convict as a matter of law, but who knows what the jury is going to do.

We’re slowly bouncing back from the fire. Still waiting to get the septic repaired. Got the barn pulled down yesterday. Spent many thousands of dollars clearing out the dead trees. Since the undergrowth was gone we could see the terrain a little better, so we cut some new roads that will mostly be w...

I still have no idea how they get to the underlying crime without Weisselberg’s corroborating testimony. The underlying crime is state election fraud, and I believe Cohen's testimony is sufficient (but not the strongest) for that. Yeah, I know what it is, just didn’t think Cohen’s testimony quite g...

Our house is three stories. There’s an upstairs with shed dormers on the back. The main floor, and a basement that runs about half the length of the house.

The apartments in my building have an outlet above the bathroom sinks. It may seem unsafe but it's convenient...

As long as it has a GFI, it’s OK, I think

Beautiful! We live in a truly weird house. It was originally a store. Well, first it was a fruit stand, then it was a store. We’ve tried to make changes so it looks more like a home and less like a strip mall. We’re putting a garage on the main level, and we took out the storefront windows and repla...

I know that stadium is in Atlanta but that picture and your story reminds me of my dad. When I turned 16 I asked him to buy me a car. He said, I’ll buy you a car when they start playing night games at Wrigley. It became a little gag between him and me. I called him in 1988, when I was 29, and was li...

Happy Birfday Mrs_V! On cats escaping - <snip> The cats are faster. C'est la vie. When we moved here there were three outdoor cats who came with the house. We promised the former owner we’d feed them, which is all she ever did. One of the cats was already here and full grown when they moved in in 2...

She couldn’t even say his name without laughing.

Every time you show up you’re telling them they don’t need to hire/train/vet anyone else. If it’s not that big a deal to you, then by all means, take the money and enjoy whatever free time you can manage within the schedule. There’s a lot to say about keeping busy and having a purpose. I went throu...

On a more serious note, is anyone else getting tired of folks calling this surrogate crap a 'loophole' in the gag order like Trump and his attorneys are geniuses for walking right up to the judge and holding their hands millimeters from his face and shouting "We're not touching you!"? Bec...

Ah, I think I know what happened. IIRC, the delete option goes away after a few minutes.

It (also?) goes away if some makes a subsequent post.
