This is not accurate, and the prosecution did not gently caress up. This is a complicated decision (one I don't think I agree with) so let me try to explain: 2005: A victim reports she was raped by Cosby The DA at the time (Castor) loudly announces he has declined to prosecute and has determined no charges will be filed, ever. Now, he claims he did this for altruistic reasons. His claim was that he didn't have enough evidence to win a prosecution, but at the request of Constand (the victim)'s lawyers, he made that announcement so that Cosby could not invoke the 5th Amendment in the lawsuit against him. Cosby does, in fact, testify in that civil case without invoking the 5th Amendment. Later, Castor leaves office, and his successor decides to prosecute Cosby. She argues that Castor had no legal right to offer immunity (this is correct), and so a decision not to prosecute cannot bind future DAs. Again, as a matter of law, this appears to be correct. The ruling is that Cosby reasonably relied, to his detriment, on Castor's announcement he would decline to prosecute. The ruling does say the trial court found that Castor was not credible in his claims he reached agreement with Cosby, but it does say because Cosby relied to his detriment in the civil case that he can never be prosecuted. They don't really identify anything that the DA who prosecuted him hosed up - they never had a chance.

Nonsense posted:This is not accurate, and the prosecution did not gently caress up. This is a complicated decision (one I don't think I agree with) so let me try to explain: but wait what would have prevented him from invoking the 5th amendment in the civil case? like I guess I am sympathetic to making it as difficult on the prosecutor as possible in the general sense but like if Cosby couldn't invoke the 5th regardless, why does it matter if he testified thinking he wouldn't get prosecuted in the future? also syq? maybe?

IMO plastic pollution should be addressed via a tax and dividend program with an up-front stimulus. Though plastic straws constitute only 0.03% of total plastic waste by mass, and only 3% of beach trash by volume, both volume and mass do not give a full picture of the impact of ocean debris on marine life. Like how animals may get caught in six-pack rings that someone forgot to cut up, animals can choke on plastic straws. So there should be a baseline tax on plastic by mass, and then on top of that, there should be a multiplier determined by environmental scientists, ideally interviewed during the lawmaking process instead of leaving it to some corrupt regulatory committee Maybe I should write the Squad or someone and suggest using this, just in case, but otoh I don't have time for that

I think it was under a really stupid pinky swear decorum understanding that castor announced he'd never be prosecuted for that case criminally, so Cosby didn't need to fear reprecussions of not doing 5th. So now he gets out of jail because the Pennsylvania courts are loving stupider than a rapist that thought he'd be ok waiving his 5th amendment because a DA told him he'd never get prosecuted.

I think it's cool that the lawyer who got angry at being laughed at during trump's impeachment is also the guy who pinkie promised Cosby he'd never be convicted of rape, and now that's enshrined as a binding agreement.

Cosby ruling sounds like it's just "oops we promised this rich guy he was gonna get off so we are correcting this mistake" but I'm sure there's a complicated legal reason why it would also never be seen on a poor person and how that's endemic of a healthy judicial system.

While letting a bunch of people poo poo in it and then went "well the thread is poo poo now for some reason, time to gas!!" I made it for either of two possibilities. 1. It stays and people who don't post solely in CSPAM get to make fun of democrats and maybe some people actually see some criticism of some powerful people that they had never really considered before. OR 2. The mods show their rear end and close the thread because Democrats are obviously the good guys and you can't lol at them.

mastershakeman posted:its not sarcasm. There's a huge problem with this concept of local control of schools, and it's not just funding. No one has any idea what schools actually teach, or if the teachers are actually teaching the curriculum. The school boards are elected (in most places, chicago still isnt) but work hand in hand with the school administration to do whatever they want, and you end up with all these angry parents trying to tell the administration / boards what should and shouldn't happen, but with no actual information. It's a total mess and it's incredibly hard to understand if educators think that reducing class options is actually good, and if so why. So people try to fight back against it out of reaction. lol tell them that the Black suburbs on the far south side pay a higher percentage property tax for shittier schools quote:Homeowners in Ford Heights, Park Forest and Riverdale have the highest average tax rates in the county at roughly 34, 34 and 29 percent, respectively. Hinsdale, Burr Ridge and Barrington have the lowest at roughly 7 percent.
