    Sickitating! Sadly, not at all surprising.

    Hopefully, she'll resist arrest one of these times and you all can "scare" her back...

    The jury is fucking nuts, no way around it.

    Very true. While most people with common sense would realize that the likely result of slicing someone’s throat, or shooting them multiple times about the torso would be death, it is hard to prove to a jury that that was the intended result. You almost need external evidence like the actor yelling, “Die m-f er!” Even then it is dodgy.

    We once had an officer injured as the result of a purposeful assault, and the jury found the defendant not guilty. When polled later the jurors actually stated that they believed the assault took place, but that being assaulted and injured was part of an officer’s job and should be expected.

    Had to go there to finish grad school. Nope, not likely to return.

    More evidence that the entire NE of this country has gone so far left that it's unsalvagable. God help me, I HAVE TO get out of this asylum...

    Spend a weekend in a lake house with a woman who's headed to southern TX to do pro bono legal representation for kids who "Trump locked in cages"

    Shockingly she resides in DC...
    Look! Just because we're bereaved, that doesn't make us saps!
