Hmm, the instructions do sound familiar, but I swear there was something about state of mind and just because the act of assault could have resulted in death didn’t mean that’s what the defendant intended. We had to be certain of his state of mind beyond a reasonable doubt, and unfortunately just because the assault nearly resulted in her death was insufficient evidence to prove that he wanted to kill her.
When my brother strangled my mom (in Washington) he was only convicted of assault. And he really was trying to kill her.
Continuing with our decapitation roundup, a Kentucky woman has been sentenced to prison for killing two men and decapitating one of them.
Maybe we shouldn’t rush to judgement, as the woman made an Alford plea and only got a 20-year sentence, meaning she could be back with us before too long, especially if she reveals where the head got to.
‘I just wanted to get a head!’
But she never lost her head, even when she was losing heads
she said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side!
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a running bet.
Isn’t that the song he recorded because he was mad about being questioned about a crime committed against an underage girl at a party he was hosting?
The song was inspired by the intrusive press coverage surrounding the deaths of comedian John Belushi and actress Natalie Wood, and Henley’s own arrest in 1980 when he was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor and possession of marijuana, cocaine, and Quaaludes after a 16-year-old girl overdosed at his Los Angeles home.

This fits in with my belief that more ciswomen (by at least 1 order of magnitude) will be humiliated, assaulted, or driven away from sports by anti-trans attacks than would be similarly harmed by transwomen being allowed to live freely.
Reality and targeted reportage have absolutely nothing to do with each other. For every story they might hear bout when an innocent woman is accosted for supposedly being mail, the media they are addicted to because it tells them what they want to hear will spread many more unattributed tales of menfolk sneaking in to harass young girls.
At least, if you’re defining terms in such a way that nonzero numbers are “at least 1 order of magnitude more” than 0.

The whole furore about single gender toilets is so bizarre, even coming from a relatively conservative South African perspective.
I’ve taken a piss next to a trans woman, I have invited women into the mens when their queues got crazy long… it is just genitalia. Plus the women use the stalls, not the urinal. And almost exactly zero people are into the specific fetish of entering women’s toilets to use the enclosed, private stalls in order to… uh… stand around looking awkward.
The vast majority are there to urinate and get back to the party (or whatever)
(That said, given the reputed state many women’s toilets are said to be in, I’d choose the mens every time)
I cleaned public toilets for years, it’s a well-earned reputation. I don’t think it’s because men are less messy, it’s just that they generally don’t spend as much time in the restroom in general.
Really creepy dude found guilty.
Here’s a legal blog which has reporting on this loser going back decades
Yeh, that jumped right out at me, too.
Wow. It’s gotta be twenty years since I last saw a Doper using dhimmi as a snarl word.
