Atamasma thank you for making clear the difference - that made sense for sure.
This could go in Stupid MFers or Evil Mfers
Alligator escapes from mobile petting zoo. Of course you want to tape its mouth shut so kids can pet it. Then it escapes and you can’t find it… and now it can only starve to death.
I will say that Mobile Gator Petting Zoo is not the worst band name.
Starving Gators has a better ring to it.
Sounds like a Florida college fund.
Or moving company.
How about Duck Tape Mobile Gator Petting Zoo?
This guy is certainly evil. Maybe he has a worm in his brain as well, but it ate his humanity.
Vallow Daybell was extradited to Arizona following her conviction in Idaho, where she is awaiting trial for murder in the 2019 death of her husband, Charles Vallow, who was shot by her brother, Alex Cox. Cox also died later that year.
They seem nice…
A juror was dismissed from a fraud trial today after reporting that a woman dropped off a bag of money at her home and promised her more if she would vote to acquit seven people charged with stealing 40 million from a program meant to feed children during the pandemic.
The 23-year-old juror said she immediately turned over the bag of cash to police. She said a woman left it with her father-in-law Sunday with the message that she’d get another bag of cash if she voted to acquit
That poor woman. That must be very frightening. I sure hope they find the person behind it.
Absolutely, and also good for her. The fact that she reported it promptly shows guts and good sense. But terrifying that someone from the defense will come directly to your house.
And now knows you went to the police.
So now “all” the wealthy defendants have to do is to repeat the process enough times to deplete the jury pool for a mistrial? And do the same thing over again with the next jury?
I mean, yeah, it’s expensive, but it keeps them out of prison and restitution…
AIUI, you can’t ask for a mistrial for acts you commit.
Otherwise doing that would already be a thing.
Well, sure, but proving the defendants had anything to do with this, and that this wasn’t a completely separate party acting of their own volition, won’t be easy, will it? And it already got one juror dismissed; what does happen if it repeats often enough to get to a critical point? Who determines where that critical point is? The judge? If so, does that open any new avenues of appeal?
I imagine it would be extremely easy. That’s why it’s insane that it was attempted.
For all we know, they’ve tried it with other jurors, and she was the most honest. Can you trust any of them now?
Good question. I honestly don’t know what the protocol is when something like this happens. I’m happy that’s not my job, LOL.
You don’t have to trust them.
You just have to check their bank accounts.
