Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent

He wasn’t a mass shooting victim though.

Insurance companies have plenty of qualified and practicing doctors to say your prescribed treatment isn’t medically necessary.

Not really. After high profile cases, jurors giving interviews is pretty common. Several jurors spoke about the OJ trial as well.

The way jury instructions work it’s pretty hard to not justify your vote unless you have no intention of following the instructions. The guilty or not guilty decision is usually phrased in several yes or no questions. If you’re answering one differently than 11 other people, there’s a reason.

Part of how jury nullification works is that jurors can’t be held accountable for the verdict. They can in theory be charged with perjury if it can be proven they lied under oath during voir dire, but that’s more of a threat than a reality. In a civil case it’s possible for a judge to set aside a verdict if there’s clearly no evidence, but that’s not possible for criminal charges.

I haven’t followed the case that closely, but that statement seems concerning. I was under the impression this was using an affirmative defense. The prosecution didn’t have to prove anything other than she wasn’t crazy in that exact moment. This stament makes me think the jury instructions were absurdly terrible, or this juror straight up ignored them.

I’m not sure anyone who only played 7 could call it their favorite civ game.

V is the best that I’ve played. 2 is a solid choice since it’s the foundation more so than the original. 6 is a garbled mess of systems that don’t work well together, and attempts to steal mechanics from other games but poorly done.

It probably unpopular here, but I think that starfield first was a good idea. It let them build and test a full game after changes to the engine. The feedback the mixed results can help make ES6 better if they actually listen to it.

Employer provided healthcare became a thing due to WWII rules preventing pat raises. It then became a great deal for employers, since it was a way to reduce taxes as an expense rather than paying payroll taxes.

I would think any setting where dwarves or halflings exist someone with dwarfism would probably be called a halfbreed or cursed or something else not exactly nice.

You would think cops would welcome additional opportunities for bribes.

What’s even crazier is that these ships are still pretty fast. It’s cruising speed is about 20mph, with a top speed of about 35mph.

They learned to charge more after they accidentally “sold” coins at face value and people just bought them for credit card rewards.

Where most Canadians live it doesn’t get particularly cold. Toronto is south of Minnesota. There are places that get really cold, but not many people live in most of them.

Engagement is a metric that trying to track user enjoyment, I want more engaging posts or even posts at this point on Lemmy.

While a lot of posts have touched on the size of the explosion, the real impossible part is getting to the mantle. It was only fairly recently done by digging in the ocean where the mantle was pushed up more than normal.

A circular saw works much better for an aluminum pole.

Police tend to be the most dangerous and least accurate group of gun owners. Even with the tiny amount of range time police get, you’d be hard pressed to find a worse group to hand guns to.
