Uptime Sinclair posted:that’s kind of what happened with the west memphis three appeal. ultimately entered alford pleas so they could be sentenced to time served without formally admitting guilt is that like nolo contendere, where you say "i didn't do it, and i promise not to do it again"? (joke stolen from somebody writing something about spiro agnew  )

FAT32 SHAMER posted:doesn’t getting a pardon mean you admit guilt to the charges and since they’re lawyers they could technically be disbarred anyways tho the threshold for disbarment is apparently insanely high, like forging signatures in a submission to the court is apparently not enough to rate that. they might get some lower disciplinary action though.

jack thompson got disbarred but only after he spent two decades not only using the courts to abuse lots of people but hurling abuse at the bar association itself. that's what it takes

he was really hotheaded when i was a kid and this one time he was replacing the toilet in the bathroom and he and my mom started arguing about something so in a donald duck rage he yanks the old toilet out and throws it into the back of his truck to take it to the dump and does this massive burnout after backing out of the driveway. problem was he forgot to close the tailgate so the old shitter comes skittering out of the bed and shatters into a thousand pieces upon hitting the road. it was hilarious.

another time he was doing this hillbilly installation of a new front door and something wasn’t going right so he goes and gets his loving chainsaw and fires it up in the kitchen to finish cutting the door hole. i can still remember seeing two stroke exhaust blasting the suspended ceiling tiles.

my dad has no clue wtf he's doing with most things, and whenever he has to fix something the strategy is "do it as quickly as possible so i can get back to whatever i was farting around doing before," so more often than not he ends up breaking things worse. one time he tried to fix the garage door by poking it a bunch with a screwdriver and the extremely high-tension spring shot off into the wall and took his thumb with it
