Plan B Forum

Every juror serving on that panel knew what they were getting into (there had been nearly a year of public outcry) and if any had any fear for their personal safety they could have easily been excused, because that kind of fear would be considered a factor in a juror's ability to render a fair and i...

Adorable pup! May you have a long and happy life together! Our dog, my constant companion and part-time file clerk, died in May at 14 and a half. We have plans for extended travel in the years to come so we're wrestling with whether to adopt another. But life is definitely better with a dog. At her ...

must have been channeling Meade, the Old Snapping Turtle.

How very Philadelphia.

As far as I can see you appear to be right about 3rd degree murder and wrong about second degree murder. Assuming that what I found on the Internet is valid Minnesota law and hasn’t been changed since the conviction. No, I'm not wrong about second degree murder. As you yourself posted: MacKenzie po...

Also... The Liberty Champion ??? ("The official student newspaper of Liberty University") :roll: Hey, she has opinions! And she writes them! That's good enough for the journalism department at Liberty U! They have standards! Very low ones, apparently, but still! As a former news writer myself, this...

Happy New Year, although honestly my expectations in that regard are pretty low.

I went and looked at the statutes; also looked up "Opinion Writer" Peyton MacKenzie. She has no idea what she's talking about and there is absolutely no reason her opinion should merit any consideration. Contrary to her claim, third degree murder does not require any proof whatsoever of "inten[t] to...

I have no idea who Peyton MacKenzie is or why anyone should give a fig about his/her opinion. This reads like a mediocre high school writing assignment. There is no quotation of the actual elements of second or third degree murder under Minnesota law. The general characterization of the charges is n...

however, Venus is a different story can someone explain it?

Women are inexplicable, surely.


But I believe she is frigid at her core and languid in her movements thus lacks the elements necessary to magnetize.

summary judgment was what i meant. thank you for correcting me. Summary judgment is essentially the same thing as a directed verdict, just earlier in the process. Before going through the expense and hassle of a trial to determine the facts in a case, either side can move for judgment on any or all...

OK, so now the Maine decision is in, following Colorado in disqualifying Trump from the state's primary ballot.

liberty doesn't strike me as being the brightest bulb on the tree And Sue keeps switching off even that dim glow Usually I don't even bother, but he addressed me directly, so common courtesy required a response. well.... stop and frisk is obviously unconstitutional.... but...., since when did you c...

And if that makes me racist, then so be it. Yes, it does in fact make you a racist, and if you are satisfied with being a racist don't get your panties in a twist when you're called out for being a racist, you racist. It is against the law for kids to have guns, but they have them. Why do they have...

I remain entirely disgusted by this country's insanity concerning guns.

Oh, in other ballot-busting news from snowy states, here's a pretty good summary of today's Michigan ruling: Michigan Supreme Court Won't Remove Trump From Ballot Or Even Require Damage Deposit Well now we like Colorado better, so there. DOKTOR ZOOM DEC 27, 2023 In another case challenging Donald Tr...

It could be even more interesting, if Trump were to win the vote in the electoral college. All you legal types, consider this question: Who would have standing to bring the issue to the attention of the Federal Supremes that the 14th amendment takes precedent over an election; that an individual co...

Finally saw it over the Christmas weekend and thought it was clever and funny. It's clearly not gonna be for everyone, but if you like the Wes Anderson aesthetic, this was a pretty good time.

ETA:

Also, what an all-star cast!

It's not an appellate court's job to make a factual determination; that's what a trial court is for. An appellate court (including the Supreme Court) does not hear evidence at trial, but only determines whether the law was properly applied...... Are you saying that since the Colorado courts decided...

I think the SCOTUS needs look at it and determine whether or not an insurrection actually occurred and if so whether or not Trump engaged in it. Then the rules would be established for all states. It's not an appellate court's job to make a factual determination; that's what a trial court is for. A...
