Wow.
Boru
Likely intentional, fully understanding their clients guilt. He was going to lose either way, but this way he gets to bitch impotently about a judge whereas the other way would have had actual magats convicting him - and that's gg for the brand.
In the back of my mind I was considering that those jurors would be in the same possibly life-threatening situation as the judge. Better off without jurors, in this environment.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

If you're hard enough to give birth in a pickup there's a fair chance you got knocked up the same way. Is it weird that I think that's one of her redeeming qualities?
I'd be tickled pink if some pronstar actually ran on a "I'll jerk you off" ticket, won, and did it. At least then we could dispense with the pretense of decorum or process or good governance. We'd be able to look at each other frankly and honestly for the first time and all agree..that it's exactly what it looks like from the outside. Young staffers yanking on geriatric chestnuts until the money falls out.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
