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.

There are almost no mental health diagnoses that would have helped Chauvin. The only disorders that could adequately help would be a dissociative disorder such as schizophrenia or a fugue state, both of which would have been recognized by coworkers before or after Floyd's murder. In fact, certain m...

In other words, nothing that actually has any legal force and effect and resembles a real court of law. Meh. Not even Laity is that dumb. Final answer? : The D.C.

The court granted the prosecutor's motion to revoke bail; remanded.

Guilty of second degree murder. (And the lesser counts.)

Catholics do. We shake hands or hug during the sign of peace and a lot of people hold hands when praying. That was not my experience, and (IIRC) there's actually no rule requiring touching. My larger point is that "come to our church and get touched" is poor marketing, even when marketing...

P&E comments : Apparently both Dr Pepper/7UP and Coca Cola have bottling plants in the North Dallas area. Coke also has a corporate office. I believe the Dr Pepper plant is in Plano so it is highly likely the can Mr. DeMaio was drinking was not bottled by Coca Cola. This is a little off topic bu...

SCOTUS declines to hear PA lawsuit. https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/19/politics/supreme-court-tosses-gop-2020-election-challenge/index.html They avoided the central issue of whether the governor could extend the voting times due to the pandemic by calling the suit moot.

P&E comment : From author Joseph DeMaio: Just when you thought that an end to the inane “look-at-the-shiny-object” deflective comments about Coca Cola and Dr Pepper (note the omission of the period after “Dr”) had arrived, “Luke” renews attention to the issue. Once again we are treated to a typi...

I believe that was one of her part-time gigs, yes.

It appears Powell has/had various part-time jobs. One employer at a farmer's market wouldn't let her work without a mask.

But appears her primary benefactor is a small bookstore owned by fellow travelers. (They also were in DC.)

Question. Powell obviously flouted the spirit of her conditions for relief. However, the judge's ruling wasn't specific about what constitutes a mask. I absolutely agree with the judge's order to show cause; no reasonable person would think that a mesh mask complies with the pre-trial release condi...

P&E comment : That’s true about Coca-Cola making a lot of money from Dr Pepper, they are a huge shareholder, bottler and distributor. By the way, there’s no period after “Dr”. In the 1950s, Morrison took out the period from ‘Dr’ to make the brand name more stylish. Important to note that The Coc...

The diplomatic slight is, of course, that Harris and Biden were sent to meet with the prime minister instead of the One True President. (I don't think I have to name him.) Yes, many aggrieved said just that. Did anyone ask the prime minister if he was offended? No; grievance culture is all about as...

Anyone miss the daily scandals of the previous administration yet? This is boring. The right-wing outrage machine continues to be outraged. Yesterday, for example, Harris met with the Japanese Prime Minister before he met with Biden. Many on the right were offended on Japan's behalf for this diplom...

This isn’t a trial, though, is it? All court proceedings are presumed to be open; closing them requires a good cause. Having said that, I'm a little surprised that the prosecutor did even go through the motions to argue that a closed proceeding was necessary to protect ongoing investigations. * * *...
