they won't even be done with appeals and tying this up until next year, they'd be stupid to radically change practices in a way that will be hugely unpopular while simultaneously risking almost immediately losing their right to do this when a democrat gets elected

This is only going to matter if NY or CA decide to implement their own net neutrality rules, although it won't matter as much as something like EPA regulations. Car manufacturers have their hands tied because they're dealing with physical production, but rules in NY or CA won't even necessarily affect every ISP.

I'm legit surprised, I figured that for sure a shitfaced cop walking into the wrong apartment and gunning down a black immigrant eating icecream was a sure bet to get acquitted. That entire story was so weird, like there were either a dozen layers of outright wild, insane incompetence and terrible judgement or she was actively planning on killing him

There's always been the rumor that she was drunk at the time of the shooting, although pulling 13 hour shifts would probably get you the same effect.

Why do that when voter suppression works almost as well but actually rallies the base? Elections in America are about turnout- not creating voting coalitions.

Capital Murder in Texas requires premeditation, conjunction with another crime, or specifically shooting a police officer.

It wasn't a rumor was it? How tf else do you end up in an apt that looks and smells wildly different from your own. 13 hours is a long shift but no one else is accidentally shooting people and forgetting how their furniture is arranged from a long shift.

because it didn't meet the criteria for capital murder?

unless you want to argue it was in the course of an attempted burglary, but i think that's a tough argument to make - she wasn't burgling, she was trespassing

none of the other possible criteria even REMOTELY apply, here's the thingy

quote:

The defendant intentionally commits the murder during the commission or attempted commission of a kidnapping, burglary, robbery, aggravated sexual assault, arson, obstruction or retaliation, or terroristic threat;

so no, it does not

edit: also, premeditation is not one of the possible qualifiers

Yup. This. Murder is the appropriate charge as there doesnt appear to be a huge amount of premeditated planning to kill the man. She will go away for a long time as she should.

Well, I recall that it was dismissed early on with a clean toxicology report on Guyger, but it's the DPD, they used to sell powdered drywall as cocaine when they entrapped drug buyers, so YMMV.

there was no evidence of premeditation and at worst she was committing misdemeanor criminal trespass which wouldn't trigger murder in commission of another felony

If markets the size of and with the power of NY and CA decide to implement their own Net Neutrality rules it most certainly will matter. The internet is too interconnected and thanks to Amazon too distributed with elements in those states (the "cloud" is not a literal cloud they're just servers in Amazon owned facilities) that these companies aren't going to be able to use multiple regulatory frame works from state to state, Which means they'll mostly move to what ever model gives them access to those states and those markets.

Honestly with the way the internet works it matters more than how EPA regulations work, because while the car you buy in Michigan may never touch rubber to roads in California the odds are any thing you access on the internet will hit a server in California approaches parity.

Half if me wonders if the judge granting the Castle doctrine instruction was because it was a legally grey area and doing so cuts off a possible avenue of appeal.
