  1. And yet RPM, the prosecutors and the jury seemed to find that to be the most compelling piece of evidence there was.
  2. Personally, I've seen hundreds of people grieve but I have never witnessed two people grieve in identical ways. But unlike you, I don't hold myself out as an expert but rather as a skeptic. I'm open to considering someone's behavior in determining their guilt but you need to show some damn compelling scientific studies to support that. That you're willing to kill her based on your two prior experiences makes you every bit the sociopath you believe she is.
  3. You made it about you by citing your experience as evidence. And sorry, your sample size of two to determine what every mother in the world would do is far from compelling.
  4. How many times exactly have you been with a mother on her deceased child's first birthday after the child's death?
  5. Yes, they showed the video. I can't fathom how that was admissible but it certainly isn't evidence of guilt.
  6. They made a big deal about the lack of footprints in the mulch but the window with the cut screen opened onto a concrete patio so that didn't make a lick of sense as one would more naturally walk around the mulch than through it. Unless I missed it, they couldn't really draw any conclusions about which side the screen was cut from. The evidence that she did it was that one of the knives in the family knife block had chemical components on the blade that were consistent with the screen. Problem with that evidence is that both the screen and the knife were dusted for prints and because the crime scene investigators were sloppy and didn't really record what they were doing, the particles could have been transferred by the fingerprint brush. I'm not prepared to say she's innocent but I'm certainly not confident of her guilt.
  7. I'm curious why you're so dismissive of that. I'd never heard of the case before this but I've been watching the show on ABC and the prosecutor's case is a mixture of bad forensics and that she had fake tits, that she didn't grieve in the manner they thought was appropriate, and that she wanted $10k in life insurance (despite spending over $10k on the kids' funerals). And this isn't a show where the state isn't being able to present their arguments. The two prosecutors are featured heavily.
  8. One can be Catholic and believe the state and the church should be able to define marriage differently.
  9. I’d prefer if the hot Aggie stuck around a bit but otherwise they all fucking suck.
  10. Yeah, but then they'll just make a lame duck appointment if they lose.
  11. The GOP has had insane SCOTUS luck over the last 50 years. In 32 years in the White House (by the end of Trump's first term), they will have appointed at least 14 justices. In 20 years in the White House over that same time, Democratic Presidents have made four. Since 1963, the Bush family alone has appointed as many SCOTUS justices as Democratic Presidents.
  12. A runner running to second base who doesn't slide 45 feet from the bag is neither sliding nor running away from the fielder.
  13. What part of the rule says it only applies where he's much of an obstruction?
  14. Y'all are fucking insane. So if it was a direct shot to 2B and the baserunner was only halfway down the baseline, you think the runner needs to slide into the ground 45 feet from the bag? That's absurd. Taking this rule that literally would mean that players are required to slide into first base.
  15. 1948. He and Sam Barry were co-head coaches for a few years because Barry was also coaching the USC basketball team.
  16. It was almost 10 years ago now but I lived here for two years while in law school and loved it. https://www.plazaatriveroaks.com/Home.aspx It's a pretty small complex and doesn't have any on-site amenities but I didn't care about a pool, gym, etc. Great location.
  17. I don't believe so because the STR ordinance is a zoning ordinance and the ETJ is not within the zoning jurisdiction but rather the planning jurisdiction. ETJ regulations are Title 30 and the STR regulations are Title 25.
  18. Drove through just now and someone had put up a handwritten posterboard sign saying (paraphrased) "YOU DON'T HAVE TO STOP! YOU HAVE YOUR OWN LANE!"
  19. Depending on the other evidence and particularly what the various surveillance videos show about where she was, where he was, and what other people were in the area, yes.
  20. That's really only true for the 13 original states.
  21. Orin Kerr, one of the most prominent Fourth Amendment and Tech Law scholars, is doing a sorta FAQ rundown on the ruling. https://reason.com/volokh/2018/06/22/first-thoughts-on-carpenter-v-united-sta
  22. For APD, when dealing with Class C misdemeanors in 2017, blacks were 1.8x more likely to be arrested as opposed to receiving a citation than whites.
  23. 5-4 with Roberts, Ginsburg, Breyer, Kagan, and Sotomayor in the majority. Opinion here: https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-402_h315.pdf The police can no longer track your location/movements by tracking what cell towers your cell phone is connecting to without first obtaining a warrant. TBD whether this will be a significant revision of the third party doctrine or not. Roberts says the ruling is limited to technology that creates "a detailed chronicle of a person’s physical presence". But there will definitely be attempts to extend the idea that the information you provide to a third party can be so invasive that it requires a warrant to other tech.
