Lammasu posted:What happened to that Qanon kid that shot the mob boss? He had a lovely lawyer that was actually trying to get him out of jail so they could run him through a meat grinder. In 2020, he was declared incompetent to stand trial. Apparently, as of March 2022, the status of the case was "unclear," because the court records were sealed following the finding of incompetence and neither defense nor prosecution were allowed to discuss it: https://www.silive.com/crime-safety...ons-remain.html

To be clear, there is no prosecution. It's a civil case--Roberta Kaplan is the plaintiff's lawyer.

Sarcastro posted:Correct me if I'm misremembering, but having significant debts, for any other position in the government, is a bar to holding a security clearance, right? Kinda--my understanding is it's a factor, but it's not like there's a set debt amount that bars you if you go over. It's more a consideration of debt in relation to income/ability to pay, in the context of credit history. Most people have some significant debt (student loans, a mortgage, etc.). Generally, it's not disqualifying unless it's considered excessive compared to your ability to pay it, or you have a past history of defaulting on debt, particularly when it's not for good reasons (e.g. defaulting on your mortgage because you lost your job might not be disqualifying, but defaulting because you had a gambling problem probably would be). Basically, it's pretty context-heavy, or at least that's my understanding as mostly a layperson. Sir John Falstaff fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Feb 17, 2024 |

I got called once in 17 eligible years of living in three different midwestern states, and wound up serving. I've since been called 5 times where I live now, and not served once. The one time I did serve it was pretty boring--a car accident, and it wasn't even an issue of deciding who was at fault--everyone agreed the defendant was at fault--but just how much he should have to pay. It did give me some insight into how unqualified ordinary jurors are to make that kind of determination, though.

Main Paineframe posted:They are currently picking out the people who are going to be tasked with deciding whether Trump gets away with poo poo or not. I suspect Trump very much wants any anti-Trump views they hold to be found now! Well. sure, but it's not revenge on the people who said bad things about him, so I'm not really sure what his persecution complex would have to do with it--that would be true of any criminal defendant.

Crows Turn Off posted:Would a juror also be excused if they posted something about how great Trump is? They did dismiss this guy, apparently: quote:One prospective juror was excused after saying having grown up in Texas and his current work in the accounting profession might impinge on his fairness. He noted that many of his family and friends in Texas are Republicans. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/live-blog/-trump-hush-money-trial-day-2-live-updates-rcna145935/rcrd39048?canonicalCard=true Granted, most of the dismissed seem to have been because of indications of bias in the other direction.
