So the bowl matchup pits the #3 Big XII team vs the #9 SEC team?

For cause! For cause!

Hell yeah. I assume he won't be posting on here for awhile then?

You rang? Yes, you can move to exclude witnesses from some or all of the proceedings.

@RomaVicta In addition to the above, its also just really hard to prove (absent a witness memorializing that he/she intends to lie in advance.) A universal truth about witnesses is their memory is usually shit. Its very difficult to prove that someone is intentionally lying as opposed to misremembering or forgetting. Remember, it all comes down to the burden of proof - beyond a reasonable doubt. Absent direct evidence of perjury, how do you convince 12/12 jurors that the misstatement of fact was intentional?

I'm dealing with the same. Second grader at a private, Catholic school. I tell her people can believe different things, and that's totally cool. She's never asked me point blank if I believe in God, but heaven/the afterlife came up the other day and we had a pretty open discussion about it. In a way that (I hope) did not leave her with existential dread. We talk about faith and belief vs science (not that one's better than the other, just that they are different.) I've given her examples from history in which blind faith led to incorrect conclusions (e.g. Galileo and the heliocentric theory) but I don't try to push her one way or another. She proudly tells us that she's Catholic, and we say "right on." My hope is that she is well informed enough to eventually make her own decisions. I don't bash religion or American Christianity in front of her the same way that I do on here or with my peers. There was the one time I couldn't hold back when my daughter came home talking about Noah's ark and I asked her why God killed everyone on earth because he didn't like their attitude. Wife didn't appreciate that line of questioning. Which is fair.

I thought they changed to Grover Cleveland High?

Too bad we can't write laws that would prevent people in the midst of a mental health crisis from obtaining/possessing guns. I'm told its because laws don't work in this narrow category of criminal conduct. Shame.

Not Omaha?

Hey, how'd your kid get THC in his system? Uhh, oh, it was probably laced candy that we got at a Halloween party. Yeah, thats it.

Looks like we may have dodged a massive bullet this weekend. Nothing in the story re: cause of death. https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/colorado-man-wearing-tactical-gear-dies-glenwood-caverns-adventure-park/

I will agree that the defendant's influence and reach make this a far more compelling argument.

My statement was not a sweeping defense of the fairness found in the criminal justice system, nor was it to mean that Black men receive equal treatment under the law. My statement was in response to your post about Powell's public statements that she was coerced into a plea, but I had been seeing similar positions by other posters that this type of conduct would lead similarly situated defendants straight to the slammer. In my experience, that is not the case. Defendants yelling at judges. Calling them "motherfuckers," "bitches," "spics" etc. I have seen defendants with social media accounts posting daily trial updates accusing judges and DAs of all sorts of illegal and untechnical behavior. DAs will bring this up to the courts, and it rarely results in more than a stern verbal admonition. I have seen protective orders, stay away orders, and other judicial orders ignored or marginally complied with. I could go downstairs this afternoon and probably see each of these in real time. They happen all the time, and they rarely, if ever, lead to someone getting locked up, unless the prosecutors file additional charges based on that conduct.

The Brisket approach to geopolitics often leaves quite the trail of collateral damage.

No offense, but I regularly see statements like this on this thread "if she was poor," "if she was black" etc. What are all of you basing these predictions on? Because as someone who is in a criminal court every day, this is not my experience. At all.

35-6

Yeah, but then they tortured a carpenter to death and it wiped the slate clean.

Per Rand Paul? lol

Well then mea culpa.

Do you own guns? Was your above admission of mental health issues a false statement?

Um, you're talking to a gun enthusiast who also has diagnosed mental health issues. Not sure you're going to find a receptive audience here.

Since this has morphed from "Israel-Hamas War thread" into "US campus political groups," here's a response to similar conduct in the above tweets: http://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/desantis-bans-pro-palestinian-group-from-state-campuses/

Exactly. Cost of doing business in the US.
