CRUSTY MINGE posted:Seriously, why the gently caress did the judge even allow that to be considered. Hope she dies in prison. I expect the judge was following the law by not denying to a criminal defendant an instruction that was supported by evidence that came up in the trial.

Kawasaki Nun posted:I tend to think that most (almost all) people are capable of empathy, even if it doesn't necessarily shine through all their other personality defects / defense mechanisms. I'm no fan of cops, and certainly think that this sentence was justified, but I always feel a bit uncomfortable when people start celebrating the misery of others. Guess I'm just a big ol' softy. Do Flynn next!

Smiling Jack posted:I'm not up on Texas sentences, but that's pretty average for murder in NYC if you have no priors. Not average (for non LEOs) in Oklahoma. (Which also has jury sentencing) hobbesmaster posted:joat mon in the detainment thread says that the way Texas decides between first and second degree murder is that the jury picks the appropriate sentence during the penalty phase. The potential range for 2nd degree murder in Texas is between 2-20 years. I wonder if the jury just said "ok we think its 2nd degree, just take the middle of the range I guess, lets go home" This jury did not find sudden passion.

Cugel the Clever posted:JFC, then I'm glad I've never donated money to them. I actually just listened to a good podcast episode on housing and homelessness that made the incredibly obvious point that housing insecurity makes it infinitely harder for the poor and destitute to overcome the other challenges they face. But if they meet your donation conditions and move to a model where they give a house to everyone who wants one, they'll fold in a week and you'll have no one to donate to.

Check out the Wikipedia page for Trump Towers Istanbul:quote:Trump Towers Istanbul are two conjoined towers in Şişli, Istanbul, Turkey. One of the towers is an office tower, and the other a residential tower, consisting of over 200 residences.[1] The complex also holds a shopping mall with some 80 shops and a multiplex cinema. They are the first Trump Towers built in Europe. The property developer is Turkish billionaire Aydın Doğan, in a license-partnership with American businessman and current United States President Donald Trump. The complex is considered to be one of the most prominent in Istanbul.[citation needed] Many businesses based in Europe and the Middle East occupy the complex.

Proud Christian Mom posted:except the incumbent does have a huge advantage and the GOP has not slowed down on its voter disenfranchisement. And continuing the "there's clearly no way he can win" mantra is a great way to get lukewarm voters and purity fuckwits to stay home or throw away their vote in a general election.

Internet Wizard posted:"A modern day King David" And that's barely scratching the surface. (for David) Voyerism. Rape. Impregnation. Calls the husband back from the front, expecting he'll have sex with his wife and think he impregnated her. [But husband won't have sex with his wife because "The army and my men are back there in the suck, there's no way I'm going home to eat and drink and bang my wife while they're still out in the field."] Gets the husband drunk and sends him him home to bang his wife, but he still doesn't. Sends the husband back to the front, hand carrying the instructions that required the general to place the husband on point at the fiercest fighting and then for the rest of the army to retreat back, abandoning him to be killed. Husband is killed. (as well as others who were killed in order to get husband into a risky enough spot) Marries the widow. (2nd Samuel, Chapt. 11) King David: King Jody. And on the subject of decapitation, after David killed Goliath, he cut off Goliath's head and took it back to the capital to present to the king.
