  1. I'd be fine if they go ahead and fry him in old sparky as soon as it is determined he's the guilty party.
  2. that needs to be a new menu special. I'm thinking THursdays like at Lankford's Grocery.
  3. even more odd to me, and I am not trying to make this in any way "political", but the "nothing to see here guy" was an Obama appointment while the "skin crawl" lady was first appointed as a judge by Reagan. The third lady was a Bush judge who obviously sided with Dassey too. The view of the woman seemed to be quite clear and rooted in basic common sense which I found slightly interesting given the murder victim was a young woman. The guy seemed to have his mind made up and he wasn't going to go against law enforcement under any circumstances. You simply cannot come away from that thinking they took "special care" in the interrogation of a minor, and a retarded one at that.
  4. one thing I haven't touched on as much is the dassey confession. Maybe we haven't seen the whole thing, but there is simply no reasonable person who could watch that, and conclude he wasn't led/coerced into that confession. I was appalled judge Hamilton was so steadfast and resolute in his opinion the confession was authentic, and there were no issues with the manner in which the confession was acquired. I'm no lawyer, but there's simply no way they didn't lead him into that fabricated tale. ANd that is before we even get to the fact that there is not one single piece of forensic evidence that backs up Dassey's confession that they handcuffed and shackled her, stabbed her in the stomach, cut her throat, raped her, all inside the house, and then took her outside and shot her in the head. They even told him where they "knew" the location of the shooting after he said it was outside by the fire pit they led him into saying the garage, yet no forensic evidence was found in the garage until a later search was performed. This whole thing is tragic on so many levels. We have a young, hard working woman murdered, a couple of doofus suspects who are basically Lloyd Christmas and Harry, a corrupt law enforcement office, unethical prosecution, and unfit defense team. there are so many glaring examples of injustice at every stage of this, starting with poor Teresa Halbach.
  5. a reasonable take on this issue. Ultimately, people make health insurance an emotional issue. The market makes it nothing more than a financial instrument like any other insurance.
  6. Looking at all the steak houses we have I just don't see going to pay $150 for a bone in ribeye. Maybe if it's some seriously elite meat, 40oz and for two people. Otherwise, Pappas, Vic and Anthony, Steak 48, Mastro, the porterhouse at DaMarco, STW, Killens, Del Frisco, etc are all better options. Hell the wagyu strip at Flemings is one of the best value steaks in town at about $50. I'm actually offended at the prices at Georgia James, especially considering how expensive 1/5 Steak was and how underwhelming my steak was at that place.
  7. The petition i linked on the previous page states the key was found on the 6th search of his house.
  8. Anything i want. Probably try and buy a well established vineyard in Napa that is cash flow positive, buy that, live there most summers, and not fuck it up. Keep Houston as home base. It much else really. Start a foundation that helps homless vets with mental health, hunger and housing, and possibly job post combat/ptsd. Something like that.
  9. there was a group out of LA in the mid 90's called The Borrowers (not the same group that is now called the Borrowers). They were sort of alt/folk. They had one or maybe two albums, and toured throughout Texas and the southwest. The settled in Austin, and I think maybe broke up after the one album. Anyway, I saw them in Houston a few times. Once at Velvet Elvis and a time or two at the old Rockefellers. Thought they were great and surprised they never made it bigger/longer. They have a song or two on iTunes. Mercy Bound is pretty solid if you want to look that one up.
  10. If anyone wants to read the motions filed on his behalf you can find them here. http://www.stevenaverycase.org/ at a minumim the post conviction relief is worth the read. Reading the story Kratz spun, and knowing the evidence simply does not back any of it up is a tragic application of the justice system. I absolutely believe avery is capable of this sort of crime. I am also 100% convinced they didn't prove he did it during this trial. http://www.stevenaverycase.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Motion-for-Post-Conviction-Relief.pdf
  11. they had to do that to Dassey. THeir whole case was built on his confession that they raped her, stabbed her, cut her throat as she was bound to the bed in the house. Of course, there is ZERO forensic evidence that occurred, but that seems irrelevant to the prosecution. THey had to convict him on that story, or they have no case against avery. one can argue they still have proven nothing against avery because we know the murder did not happen in the manner dassey says it happened.
  12. the scenes with Avery's parents are just painful to watch. lordy. I need more evidence, analytics, less manitowac hillbillies.
  13. I agree with the 7th circuit ruling that there's zero shot a reasonable person could watch Dassey's confession and think that wasn't coerced and the suspect wasn't lead. When you also consider the kid is 16, and essentially retarded, there's just zero shot that confession was reasonable. The fact that this confession was used to convict avery when we know 100% this confession is fantasy is pretty tragic. Hard to believe Dassey is still behind bars given its clear his habeus rights were definitely violated.
  14. I was given a 2018 base Panamera to drive as a loaner. pretty peppy engine for a base level car that is huge. It carries the car well. For a base level loaner car this thing is absurdly nice and luxurious. THe new glass display/entertainment screen is really nice. Everything in there is very sleek, modern, and bespoke. I actually still prefer the front half of my MK1-2.0 car to the new one. That said, the rear of the new car is clearly miles better. I am almost convinced that living in Houston with the traffic situation you're maybe better off with a car that looks and sounds fast as opposed to one that actually is fast. I can never really enjoy the power of any of our cars simply due to there being almost no place to let them stretch their legs a bit. Craftmanship in this thing is about as well done as can be imagined.
  15. Took my car in for its 20k oil and speak plug change and they had this beauty there. Also has a gt2rs that was sweet. Love these cars in wild colors. Doubt it’s something I’d choose for myself, but I always love seeing them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. im on ep 6 now. I am absolutely fascinated by this whole thing. As someone who once was the jury foreman on an armed robbery case, and saw a few people (I believe may have used race as a factor rather than facts) try and railroad a young black girl into 2-25 on an armed robbery charge I am really really really sensitive to people operating under the presumption of innocence, and making sure the prosecution absolutely proves beyond a reasonable doubt the guilt of the defendant. So many things about this bug me to no end. Dassey and Avery are both convicted using two very different accounts of what happened. interesting. The case the prosecution put on against Avery is proven untrue. Shady evidence with zero logical explanation. THe key found on the 6th search, in plain site, and contains only Avery's DNA. the dna on the hood latch that seemingly has no real source, and concentration levels not feasible, and is not blood nor saliva is interesting. two burn sites, the license plate issue is well documented. That said, the hypothesis that the cops, or someone happened to break into his trailer at the moment he happened to be bleeding and they happened to get really lucky that he had left a pool of blood on his sink is also not really believable to me. The framers just happened to get that lucky and have collection kits on them, get an amount of blood to spread around the car? Maybe, but what luck and coincidence. That said, the blood smear on the dash doesn't appear to have gotten there through normal methods of turning the key in the ignition. Zero shot that key wouldn't have had some blood on it too. THe boyfriend explanation of the broken light is interesting. I will say the Avery's are clearly PWT, and the guy absolutely appears to be a guy capable of who knows what. If he killed her it absolutely would not shock me. That said, I cannot at this point think this has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. No way the guy was smart enough to shackle this girl, stab her in the stomach, cut her throat in the house, then load her into her car, drive her around all over, burn her in barrel, spread the bones around in his property in a bon fire, and somehow leave no blood DNA in the bedroom where all this happened. No way if he hand was bleeding enough to leave in smeared in the car there isn't his blood mixed in the back with her dead body and blood. yet, it isn't anywhere in the back of the car. None of that is logical, nor really possible. The evidence simply does not support the murder in the way the prosecution sold it, and the way dassey stated. I am the type who believes if he is guilty of this he should receive the death penalty asap. I also believe if he has been locked up all these years as an innocent man framed by some cops pissed off they wrongly imprisoned him, and are getting sued by him, they need to be locked up the same sentence he has been given (life without parole). Taking a persons freedom is a very serious thing. we have to be extremely certain guilt is proven. I could watch Zellner analyze and do her thing 24/7. That lady is committed to her craft, and I love that she seems to have an absolute no bullshit, DGAF where the evidence leads, she simply wants the truth even if it might proven her client guilty.
  17. On episode 3. That kucinich guy makes me want to break something expensive. That guy should lose his law license. His defense of dassey was at best pathetic.
  18. It’s unreal. I always say he May have murdered Theresa. However, based on the case presented by the prosecution we know 100% they did not prove his guilt. We know 100% the mirdere did not happen in the manner the prosecution claimed.
  19. As a beto hater I agree. Cruz has one of the most punchable faces in politics. He's smarmy and douchey for sure. That said it's amazing the dems found a douchey little weasel with many of the same qualities to run against cruz. I'd spend good money on a PPV cage match between them.
  20. yeah, government dictating how corporations elect and run their board is a no go for me. HAHAHAHA. Mesioux wants to preosecute people who knowingly misrepresent and mislead. hahahhahahah. that's rich coming from someone who has mislead everyone about who she is.
  21. And about 44% of the country will believe her. Look at in this thread. 1/1000th? Yep. Theres brave Native American blood in her. So brave. This whole thing is stupid as hell.
  22. 2019 Panamera GTS released today. 4.0 V8 with turbo. Apparently a "detuned" version of the Panamera Turbo engine. 0-60 in 3.9 is solid.
