  1. Guy should have replied, “I’m just trying to make it back home alive tonight, sir!”
  2. I’ve been asked ONE time to show my vax card in order to forego wearing a mask. Interestingly, it was at a nicer dispensary in Las Vegas.
  3. I do. My FIL actually told my wife that he tried to stick a magnet to his arm, but it didn’t work (no shit?), but that was probably was because it was too long after his injection.
  4. Wow. Just jumping right to a conclusory statement with little evidence other than “someone told the cops…” As someone who prosecutes a TON of assaults, I’ll let you in on a highly guarded secret. Sometimes, people make false accusations.
  5. Nor sure if already addressed but they didn’t need a warrant to get into that room because exigency circumstances or whatever.
  6. damnit. Stream shit the bed for me in the 3rd round of the O;Malley fight.
  7. They still have two years to charge those utes.
  8. The “more to the story” is that the DA’s office has years to file charges related to this incident. It’s not really a free pass, at this point.
  9. I guess they are expanding their insulin product line? I say this because Walmart private brand insulin is kit a new thigh at all.
  10. In the early and mid 90’s, I lived by a WH and back then, at night, they had all you can eat waffles, eggs, bacon, omelettes, patty melts, hash browns, etc. Weed was out PED back then.
  11. Need more info to answer. Is the plane on a treadmill?
  12. Lol. No. The Texas GOP/courts have totally kneecapped that entire case (it’s a state criminal charge not fed). He will never be tried for it. I imagine that Abbott will just pardon if/when one of them leaves office.
  13. As someone who has worked on both sides of the criminal law equation, I’ll help y’all with this question… There’s no right or wrong. Depends on the cop and you’re at their mercy. Sometimes they think you are trying to get them but by a passing vehicle because you stop in an unsafe area. Other times, the failure to immediately stop means you are evading in a vehicle, which means…walla! Felony stop engagement sequence commences. It’s bullshit but that’s the world we live in.
  14. At least her attorney can brag about getting a murder case dismissed!
  15. My case was pre-TSN. Also, my trial court ruled against me so I had to be the Appellant.
  16. I can’t believe they finally got the expunction issue correct. I had one in appeal years ago and the entirety of the legal gymnastics that were done in order to reach the opposite result was mind-numbing to read. There were just a multitude of totally ABSURD results. I had a client arrested for a theft and a fraud misdemeanor. Each alleged on a different date, about a month apart. One case was dismissed. The other given a deferred. Got an order of non disclosure for the probation case. Was stonewalled by DPS and the 3rd COA for the dismissed charge. Could not get it expunged because... The two separate warrants were served together when she was pulled over for a traffic violation. Thus, one arrest...the deferred adj. was not eligible for expunction...so the dismissed case wasn’t either because “same arrest”. Now I’m going to go dig up an old file and find a lawyer to refile another petition for expunction, since I would be conflicted at this juncture. ETA: I can barely even read this new opinion because of raging at the similarity between this opinion and the fucking brief I filed years ago under the same facts.
  17. There isn’t any higher standard possible, other than “zero doubt” which obviously can’t be used. The solution is to just abolish the DP and overhauling the justice system wholesale.
  18. All jokes aside, this is a good move. The rationale behind prosecuting “johns” is that their actions feed sex trafficking, which obviously includes a shit ton of abusive acts and practices. The prostitutes themselves, are generally the victims of sex trafficking/being pimped/etc. Fact: In my county I have come across cases where a customer and pro are busted in a park or whatever, where they arrest the pro and not the “patron”. I summarily dismiss those when they come across my desk. Also, many counties have a setup where the johns can complete a “Stop Demand” class and get their charge reduced to a Class C ticket. The focus of that class is to get them to understand that most often, the workers are victims of all kinds of terrible shit. Decent idea, IMO. What is totally bullshit is that there is no parallel type of special deal for the actual prostitutes (victims from the above class mentioned) who are just stuck with the full measure of their charges. It’s just contradictory AF. * I ALWAYS reduce the charges for the workers in cases assigned to me, because my office gives us a great deal of discretion, but that’s more the exception than the rule.
  19. Nope. Objective wrong. In support, I would offer the following: Wagyu brisket Wagyu other meats (my location has about 5 usual cuts. Prime Dino-ribs
  20. No one told the kid to not wheel around on the cop.
  21. If the jury is unanimous as to one of the lesser included charges, then you have a proper verdict for that charge, regardless of the split/ unanimity for the higher charges.
  22. Yep. Guy with little no training performs poorly in exercise designed to test his training.
  23. Tip: HEB will also scale the fish for no additional charge. PRO TIP: They will also fillet it if you want.
  24. I’m sure you are trolling/joking, but fuck off, just in case. /surly
