Won't address literally any of the serious pressing issues that Americans face, and can't hold onto a speaker of the house for more than a week, but a social media app with videos of people eating nachos off their kitchen countertop is the line in the sand that gets both parties actively working together.

Three Olives posted:https://twitter.com/KlasfeldReports/status/1767925793328369983 McAfee tossed six of the counts in the case. The gist of the ruling is that Willis did not put sufficient specificity in the indictment. A crime has elements. For drunk driving the elements are basically (1) drunk and (2) driving. The elements of murder are (1) you took someone's life, and (2) you did so intentionally. The elements of manslaughter are (1) you took someone's life, and (2) you did so recklessly. The elements of felon in possession are (1) dude's a felon, (2) dude possessed a gun, and (3) dude knew he possessed a gun. Elements of crimes are important, they're what crimes are made of. If the state fails to prove any one element of the crime, they've failed to prove the crime and the jury must enter a not guilty verdict. In a felony indictment, the state must allege the elements with specificity. They can't just say "dude possessed a gun," they need to charge that on xyz date in abc county, defendant Three Olives, who has a felony mod trolling conviction from 2022, knowingly possessed a Smith and Weston .356 serial number 12345 in his jacket pocket. See how that's much more specific? The purpose of specificity is that the defendant can prepare a defense. Three Olives knows which gun is at issue, which date and place, and can prepare to challenge that. The flip side of the coin is that the government does not want to get too specific. If they allege that the gun was in his left hip pocket, and turns out it was in his right jacket pocket, that's an acquittal. I've seen cases go down in exactly that scenario. I've personally prosecuted cases where I lost counts because I hosed up the charging document's specificity. So prosecutors try to make the charging document specific enough but not too specific. And defendants almost always challenge the charging document saying it's not specific enough. It's a standard challenge that any prosecutor expects, and defense attorney at least thinks about, and any judge knows how to handle Turning to this case, it looks like the charging document alleged conspiracy to commit a felony, but didn't then specifically allege the felony in that same sentence. Instead it alleged the felonious acts elsewhere in the document. The defendants said that's not good enough enumeration of the elements, prosecutor said it was good enough, judge ruled for the defendants and tossed six counts of the indictment. The remedy I would do in this situation is just to recharge the case. If it were a DUI or felon in possession charge, I'd go back to grand jury and reindict with a new and improved indictment, which would use up about half an hour out of my day full of half an hour grand jury presentations. I have no idea what the remedy is in Georgia. Maybe Willis can ask McAfee to amend the indictment or something, which would save another trip to the immense grand jury. Maybe she doesn't recharge it. I have no idea. BigHead fucked around with this message at 16:34 on Mar 13, 2024 |

Half the embedded videos criticizing GOP stupidity in this thread are sourced from TikTok. Banning it is handing a victory to Facebook, who has done the world no favors either.

I have no idea. The judge specifically says that this is correctable in the same manner. The gist of the demur is that the state charged people with soliciting officers to violate their oaths but didn't specifically say how the solicited conduct would have violated the oath. It seems like a pretty easy defect to correct.

Trump tried to generate money not by asking Elon to make a contribution, but by trying to sell him Truth Social. https://jalopnik.com/donald-trump-begged-elon-musk-to-buy-truth-social-1851331593 quote:According to the Washington Post’s sources, that call was to gauge the Twitter Chairman’s interest in purchasing Trump-centric social media site Truth Social. A deal wasn’t struck between the two parties, likely because the site has just 600,000 active users and Trump’s 90 percent ownership of the Mastodon-based social site had generated just $200 in income.
