What if Hitler actually had a trial and needed a lawyer

Part of the job is to make the State do their job, not just to protect the Rights of this particular defendant, but all the innocent ones who's rights will keep them from being wrongfully convicted in the future. It's so that we never start summarily deciding who gets a defense and who doesn't, because if we get there, then nobody will get one.

So, yes, the tree "owns itself" in every sense until some entity with the power to challenge that concept actually does so.

Last I heard -- this was many years ago -- dude was just repeatedly cycling that loop. While incompetent he yearns for death, but can't be executed; while competent he wants to live. So while competent he refuses medications, and then decompensates . . .

Hi, I'm in Georgia and had a question about insurance payouts and what people are legally responsible for.

...

This doesn't fit with the research I've done on the situation. I believe that since my sister had no estate, her debts will go unpaid. I'm trying to encourage my mom to ensure that my sister's creditors don't come after any payout from that but she seems resigned to it. Who is right?

He didn't appeal his conviction and death penalty, but apparently was convinced by his attorneys (and perhaps attorneys representing other people on death row) to contest the new drug cocktail and procedures.

I was under the impression that a lot of that drug dog stuff was the handler themselves doing something to initiate the dog's behavior as an excuse for a search.

A friend mentioned he’s “pretty much the executor” of his friend and former roommate. Is just assuming the role of executor of an estate a possibility for non family member? It sounded like the kids and survivors were all good with it, but I feel like this is opening yourself to incredible liability both criminal and civil. Won’t there come a point in time when he have to commit fraud signing something or is it possible to just skate through it if no one complains or notices?

Saw a semi with a big sign on the back that says “Caution stay back. We will not be liable for damage to your vehicle!” Is that all it takes to not be liable? Can I put one of those on my car and dump rocks out occasionally from the trunk free from all liability for the damage?

They can at least point to the sign as exhibit 1 and do the legal version of I warned you about the stairs bro, but it doesn't in and of itself absolve them of all liability no.

E: this is a terrible snipe

Let me try: If I clone myself but make a clone without a brain, and I gently caress the (inert) clone, is that rape because it couldn't consent? Wouldn't it be assumed that it would consent regardless? Is it incest because we are related? Is it necrophilia (or attempt necrophilia) if I make the clone without a medulla oblongata, because it functionally can't survive unassisted without one?

Right, sortof. If he doesn't post the bond, the State can start selling off his poo poo to collect the money, so that the money is guaranteed to be there for the victims at the end of the case. Meanwhile the appeal proceeds of he files and requests one. If he wins he gets the money back.


He could avoid having his properties sold forcibly by choosing some to sell himself.

If you had some largely cash based side hustles and wanted to hide the money from a bankruptcy court what would you do with it? Get a safe? Hide it in your house? Safe deposit box? Do bankruptcy courts ever get so fed up with debtors activities that they search their homes or have a PI watch them for a week?

For street level dealers, is there any legal benefit to claiming their profits from drug sales when they file taxes? Like, when it comes to court, is the judge going to offer leniency or a reduced charge because they paid their taxes on the money they earned from selling drugs?

Imagine someone abandoned a car in front of your house. One might, conceivably, get in it to drive it away and take it somewhere else. Or call the cops a hundred times about the nasty abandoned car in front of your house.

I remember getting in a huge argument with a boss of mine once when he asked "hey, do we need our insurance to cover driving on unpaved roads?" and I'm like "brother, do you not live in our state, this is the South, we're on unpaved roads every week"

They made a TV show about it. Basically they drop a running car off with keys in the ignition in the most obvious way possible. This does nothing to suppress actual car thieves. It just gets opportunistic idiots convicted of car theft. But number of arrests goes up so ~tough on crime~.

I once ordered a watch and they delivered two by mistake. I didn’t do anything with the second and after 3 weeks they emailed and asked for it back. They sent a box and I sent it back and it was done, but I did keep the extra free hat that came with it. Am I going to jail?

I thought this type of thing was only in horror movies, but this guy is doing it for real and covering his rear end legally. I guess you can consent to almost anything with a two hour video presentation and a 40 page waiver.
