He's cooked.

Just remember, he wouldn't piss on his supporters if they were on fire.

They have to be unanimous on guilty or not guilty. If there are varied manners and means by which the crime can be committed, they may not have to be unanimous as to how he committed it (depending on the charges in question).

Hung jury leaves open the possibility of retrial.

I just want to know his reaction to the stainless (rather than gold) shitter.

Thankfully, judicial bias is a very steep hill in a criminal appeal. Also, it might be a pretty fun run at the invited error doctrine to spend 5 weeks trashing a judge and his family in every known media form, then cry bias.

Correct. I understand the objection to the defense's argument. I was asking separately whether the jury's determining punishment was an option. It is in Texas. It seems like maybe not in NY.

All the shit-talking he did about the judge throughout this trial seems like even less of a good idea in that scenario.

Is the jury's determining his sentence an option in NY? So far, everything I've read has indicated that the judge will determine his punishment if he's found guilty.

It was calculated and out of bounds. But it's not like the prosecution is going to push for a mistrial. So he knew he'd get away with it and there's the slightest chance they wouldn't object (but they did). I'd estimate it is worse that the jury gets an instruction to disregard any statement about potential sentence because that isn't its role at this stage, which was one of the last things it heard from the defense. After four hours of listening to the prosecution, it won't remember much of substance about what the defensed argued.

In Texas, the prosecution opens and rebuts. Here, they just got rid of the opening part.

You think people look at me like a failure because I go home to Stormy every night?

That place punched way above its weight. And I'm now reading it was a Pappa's owned restaurant. Honestly, no surprise.

The late 1970s. I was 5. I was not impressed. But my wife recalls being dragged there on a couple of co-worker birthday requests and has fond memories of the cheddar biscuits, as I assume do most. But my sensory memory doesn't recall what I had at the so-called Dirty Lob or whether I liked it much. So I haven't a hankering or a sadness in response to this news. I also know that I have said for years that our local RL could have another RL across the street from it, and they'd both be packed. As for Steak & Ale, yes to all of the above. In Houston, we also had Steak and Egg, which was more late night steak at the diner-bar type of place. As a kid, I remember going to one-offs like Circus Restaurant on Westheimer, Mama's, Papa's, The Strawberry Patch, and Houston's. For Tex-Mex, it was Molina's. As for anything fancier, they didn't waste it on the kids until we were old enough to appreciate it. Edit to add, Cliff's for burgers (still) or JCI for a large-group burger scenario or Hamburgers by Gourmet for the best burger of all time.

Yeah it does. Good find.

I sit squarely in the middle of Trump Country, Texas. If there were flags in 2020, there likely are flags now. But yard signs are definitely in short supply. I think it would be generous to say that 25% of people who didn't go for another Trump yard sign this year might not secretly vote for him or sit out the election in November. I hope it's a higher number.

I feel a limerick coming on.

Sounds like a place I found on a trip to London. Best I've done to recreate is a European espresso blend from a local roaster. Downside is that I can't use it in my super automatic because it's too dark and will gum up the grinder.

And the drip part versus a well-pulled shot is just a function of his getting older.
