Did he have to clean up the brains like Vincent in Pulp Fiction?

What about Alex Baldwin?

She's tuff on crime. But not really at all.

Looks like type to pursue offenses. Not criminal ones, just stuff that gets her offended like assuming her/their gender.

Sounds like the dude was waving the gun around. And they had already told him to point it at the floor. If that isn't negligent homicide, I don't know what is.

You're onto something here.

Uhhh.....yeah....no. It doesn't work that way. I take it that you have never been on a jury.

The 2 times I was on a jury, during jury selection, they never said anything about the case during their questioning of potential jurors.

In the three times I've been through the selection process, they didn't specifically say who the defendant was, but they would say things like, "Do you think that a person who is blackout drunk is capable of making a conscious decision?" so you knew the gist of what the case was going to come down to.

That's a stupid question. Obviously a person blackout drunk doesn't know wtf they are doing.

Ah, but now we're back to the fun nuances of the law. If a person is blackout drunk and commits a criminal act, are they capable of making a premeditated decision to do it? That kind of thing is what a lot of "first degree" vs. "second degree" kinds of convictions hinge on.

I wish I had the deck they gave us in the jury room to reference for this. There was all sorts of flow charty stuff in there that was fascinating (in an academic way like this) to think through.

I live in a rural area. Between the sheriff, city pd, and the docket you have a really good idea of who is coming up for trial unless it's a change of venue from out of the area. For whatever reason, our circuit doesn't get many of those.

Here, they absolutely start with figuring out if you know any of the people involved. If you partied with the wrong crowd growing up, there's a 50% chance you're getting the exit with a "Ya, I grew up with him, his brother has always been a thief but I will give him a fair shake on this if chosen". Nope, excused with the quickness every time. If that doesn't work, the current PA and my family have ties so the defense will throw up a hell no from that side as well.

I assume the above sounds crazy to someone in a metro area where no one knows anyone the majority of the time.

That's true.

I am a huge Law & Order fan so I know how complicated these issues can get. Drinking is very dangerous and I wish it was taken more seriously because one bad mistake when you are blackout drunk can ruin or at least seriously damage your life. You may not even remember wtf you did.

Anyway back on topic hindsight is 20/20 but some of these defense lawyers make it very hard for judges and prosecutors to lock some of these guys up. It's not as black and white as it seems.

Didn't he also post a "fake girlfriend " years ago?

Wait, what?

He did like 15 years ago?
