  “No, it’s a yes or no question. I’m going to be running out of time, so I’m assuming the answer is no if you can’t answer yes.” So you're saying that if I look at your political positions and I like some of them but find others problematic, then I should vote for the other person. Got it. That is what you're saying, right Senator? It's a yes or no question.

  Are we sure Linda Yaccarino's brain hasn't been replaced by a Neural Link bot? Because I did read that they implanted one in somebody.

  Let's see. An asshole to women. Convicted tax evader. Mob ties. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to new Republican Congressional candidate Nikko D'Ambrosio!

  Ok, so does this mean that any person who files a lawsuit alleging discrimination on the basis of race, sex, etc., is also automatically liable for defamation per se? “An allegation that the plaintiff has discriminated against another person or group because of their race, sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity constitutes defamation per se”

  “A quick look at mappinglasirena’s tumblr site would have proven that the blog was discussing a speed freighter not their client’s customer.” So what if they were talking about the client’s customer? She’s been discussed here as well. So is this article infringing? Is that what DMCA Piracy Prevention thinks, that any mention of a client online is infringing? If so, they’ll be lucky to ever accidentally land on an actually infringing site.

  “How dare you besmirch my good name by suggesting I was drunk or on drugs when I wrecked my car into another and killed two innocent people! I was completely in control of my faculties and not impaired in the slightest when I, uh, wait a minute . . . “

  Well, fat-fingered a post before I meant to, but the part of the rant quoted in the article seems spot on. Maybe that's the problem. Maybe Bally Sports doesn't want to ruin its reputation by reporting factual content.

  Agreed. If I’m ever tried for anything, I hope my jury consists of one Timothy Geigner.

• On the post: Court Shoots Down Cop’s Attempt To Instruct Jury That He’s Innocent Just Because He Wasn’t The FIRST Violator Of Rights

  

  wshuff ( profile ), 26 Sep, 2023 @ 05:38am

  I was confused because the article says that these police were in Southaven, KY but the court kept citing to the 5th Circuit. Kentucky is in the Sixth Circuit. But it turns out Southaven is in Mississippi.

  Yes, both sides offer proposed jury instructions. There are form instructions and the court will of course have a library of instructions used in similar cases. The parties offer instructions and usually most of the boilerplate language was at least similar. But there would always be a few key instructions where the parties would offer something that fit their theory of the case and that’s where the Court would have to decide what the proper instruction should be. That would sometimes get hashed out in a hearing outside of the presence of the jury. My job as a clerk included preparing the jury instructions after that process. Sometimes it was more straightforward than others, but both sides got to see the Court’s proposed instructions before they were given.

  True. The real villain here is Big Electricity. They facilitate so much crime and yet never face any consequences.

  I don't think the fun is over for Schwarts and LoDuca. The judge didn't bother to refer then to the state bar, but my bet is the state bar is very much aware of what transpired, and it will probably want to have a few words with the attorneys.
