    CSB: a friend of ours was in Houston the past couple of months getting chemo at MD Anderson.  They're really plugged into a community that is, in turn, really plugged in to the goings on at MD Anderson.  So, she knew - before it was public - that Kate was there.  And lo and behold, one morning on the drive in for her treatment, she sees Kate and her bodyguard walking and laughing along the bayou trail nearby.  By her account, Kate was getting along fine, and laughing out loud at something her bodyguard said.  So, for what that's worth, within the last two months, Kate has been ambulatory.

    Ya that preboarding is a scam.  Only saving grace is that they can’t sit in first class seats 

    Yep, unless it was the Dallas to Denver flight recently when apparently the flight crew were morons. Normally the ticket scanner says "please tell them you're A1" or "the first". She didn't say anything to A1. When I get close to boarding I see people in the first row. You can't complain and try to get a dozen+ elderly and scammers to move. I thought about sending an email to complain, but while annoying, in the end I wasn't in a rush or anything. The elderly I get, but the 45 year old guy with his 15 year old son with no visible physical ailments, that's some questionable pre-boarding.

    actually it's stay in power and accumulate more power and more wealth. destroying enemies is critical to that endgame, and whatever happens to governmental services, who gives a shit. actually, tax the people, eliminate the services, more money for fascist leaders.

    Close, but actually it's in this country you gotta make the money first. Then you get the power, then you get the women.

    I'm sure this is the proper move since now he's a convicted felon but this will just give him one more argument on how the govt is after them, and he gets to toss in the 2nd amendment.  He really is the worst American of all time.

    "My 2nd Amendment rights are being stollen! It is a horrible thing, really the worst thing. No one has ever seen a thing like this before. The FBI is trying to assassinate me and now the DOJ is trying to prevent me from having a gun for protection! The thug NYPD lead by a Trump hater is doing it for Biden! Even Hunter HAS guns! Send money now to fight this Injustice!" - probably being said somewhere

    Here is my real point- you Big 12 left behinders don’t understand how much you have been free riding, and I will laugh and laugh as it becomes clear. I intend to post rating for your games (that aren’t on streaming) as they become available.

  6. Ignore my prior post, it appears this is what they're talking about:

    NEW YORK ELECTION LAW § 17-152 PREDICATE The People allege that the other crime the defendant intended to commit, aid, or conceal is a violation of New York Election Law section 17-152. Section 17-152 of the New York Election Law provides that any two or more persons who conspire to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means and which conspiracy is acted upon by one or more of the parties thereto, shall be guilty of conspiracy to promote or prevent an election. Under our law, a person is guilty of such a conspiracy when, with intent that conduct be performed that would promote or prevent the election of a person to public office by unlawful means, he or she agrees with one or more persons to engage in or cause the performance of such conduct. Knowledge of a conspiracy does not by itself make the defendant a coconspirator. The defendant must intend that conduct be performed that would promote or prevent the election of a person to public office by unlawful means. Intent means conscious objective or purpose. Thus, a person acts with the intent that conduct be performed that would promote or prevent the election of a person to public office by unlawful means when his or her conscious objective or purpose is that such conduct be performed. Evidence that defendant was present when others agreed to engage in the performance of a crime does not by itself show that he personally agreed to engage in the conspiracy.

    “By Unlawful Means”

    Although you must conclude unanimously that the defendant conspired to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means, you need not be unanimous as to what those unlawful means were. In determining whether the defendant conspired to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means, you may consider the following unlawful means: (1) violations of the Federal Election Campaign Act otherwise known as FECA; (2) the falsification of other business records; or (3) violation of tax laws.

     

     

  7. Maybe this is what they're talking about:

    Your verdict, on each count you consider, whether guilty or not guilty, must be unanimous. In order to find the defendant guilty, however, you need not be unanimous on whether the defendant committed the crime personally, or by acting in concert with another, or both.

    It's helpful to read the entire instruction. It's page 25 and 26.

    Accessorial Liability

    Our law recognizes that two or more individuals can act jointly to commit a crime, and that in certain circumstances, each can be held criminally liable for the acts of the others. In that situation, those persons can be said to be "acting in concert" with each other.

    Our law defines the circumstances under which one person may be criminally liable for the conduct of another. That definition is as follows: When one person engages in conduct which constitutes an offense, another is criminally liable for such conduct when, acting with the state of mind required for the commission of that offense, he or she solicits, requests, commands, importunes, or intentionally aids such person to engage in such conduct.

    Under that definition, mere presence at the scene of a crime, even with knowledge that the crime is taking place, or mere association with a perpetrator of a crime, does not by itself make a defendant criminally liable for that crime.

    In order for the defendant to be held criminally liable for the conduct of another which constitutes an offense, you must find beyond a reasonable doubt: (1) That he solicited, requested, commanded, importuned, or intentionally aided that person to engage in that conduct, and (2) That he did so with the state of mind required for the commission of the offense. 

    If it is proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is criminally liable for the conduct of another, the extent or degree of the defendant's participation in the crime does not matter. A defendant proven beyond a reasonable doubt to be criminally liable for the conduct of another in the commission of a crime is as guilty of the crime as if the defendant, personally, had committed every act constituting the crime.

    The People have the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant acted with the state of mind required for the commission of the crime, and either personally, or by acting in concert with another person, committed each of the remaining elements of the crime.

    Your verdict, on each count you consider, whether guilty or not guilty, must be unanimous. In order to find the defendant guilty, however, you need not be unanimous on whether the defendant committed the crime personally, or by acting in concert with another, or both.

     

    Of course, they could be talking about some other paragraph in the 55 pages of instructions. https://www.nycourts.gov/LegacyPDFS/press/PDFs/People v. DJT Jury Instructions and Charges FINAL 5-23-24.pdf
