Even in the private sector there are a ton of "trade secrets" that anyone could legally copy, but are protected by virtue of people not finding out about them. Trade secrets predate patent law by a long time - in fact, one of the main purposes of patent law is to incentivise making things like manufacturing techniques available for the public good, instead of being kept as trade secrets and then lost when the person who came up with them dies.

Interestingly, while the intention of the exclusions is somewhat obvious, a (presumably unintentional) inversion of one of the clauses means that "buttocks", in Florida, actually just means the rear end in a top hat itself.

resurgam40 posted:I dunno, it's hard for me to parse too, maybe the translation is bad. It definitely sounds like a literal translation of an idiom, rather than a natural translation of the concept being presented. Trying to do an accurate natural translation of legal text seems like an absolutely hellish task though, so...

IAmTheRad posted:You need to take a look back at the second case. Right, but Yanni Yogi still shot the victim, which is exactly what Misty Fey said. "Too crazy to call it murder" doesn't mean that the spirit medium was somehow wrong. Or are spirits in japanifornia expected to be able to judge the exact mental state of the person who killed them?

CVE posted:Personally I'm not a fan of a jury system in any form. Professional judges should decide because they are more likely to distant themselves from the personal side of things and in theory should be able to render a fair judgement. But no system is or will ever be perfect. The adversial system in general scares me. The adversarial system is in quite a minority when you look at how justice was carried out in history. Most commonly, justice involved a handful of professionals who, rather than squaring off with one side seeking to prosecute and the other side defending, they were all charged with attempting to figure out the truth. This is commonly known as an inquisitorial system, and (as the connotations associated with that name might imply), it wasn't exactly sunshine and rainbows in practice.
