Haha. I agreed with you before you pointed out my error and after pointing it out, I still agree!!!

The needle is not getting moved much for either team. Pryor cannot reliably cover any of the positions you need a strong safety to cover. The Jets first round pick last year at ILB was no darling either. This is just giving a first round pick a second chance. Meanwhile, the Jets get cheap mediocre depth at ILB. 

The one thing that unites all New Yorkers is hating on the MTA

While we would both agree he is crazy, he is not the type of crazy who would get off because they are too insane to stand trial. He made a show at his arraignment, but literally no one is buying it. His statement to the cops after he was arrested shows he knew exactly what he was doing and that it was wrong. To get an…

Based on what is out there right now, I think I would put up $100 against $1 that he gets a term of at least 20 years. Is he going to get the death penalty? likely no, Oregon has executed like two people in the last 40 years. Could he possibly secure a plea to two charges of first degree manslaughter, one attempted…

Yes. I made the mistake of trying to assuage concerns that he could get acquitted by reason of insanity. Honestly, I do not understand why so many people do not believe that this racist is going to jail.

How?

Now you are changing my words just to argue with me. I was responding to your concerning over the odds of him getting convicted. Unless you want to put a wager against it, I am done with this conversation. Have a nice day.

Its so much lower it approaches zero and really warrants no anxiety over. I am just confused. I was talking about this case, but it seems like you are also talking about Tamir Rice now? That as the definition of injustice. And while even calling that an injustice is an understatement, the two cases are just very…

Do you honestly believe that he will get acquitted at trial? He admitted that he killed the victims. His only possible complete defenses are affirmative defenses, like, as you suggested, an insanity defense.  I was just trying to point out that perfecting an insanity defense is not as easy as some may believe.

Please elaborate. Are you saying this from first hand experience? or because you have investigated and synthesized what people have already reported on him.

The classic reasoning being that the Court should not permit the jury to convict the cop for murder because it can convict him for being a racist. Not guilty beyond a reasonable is an incredibly high standard that prosecutors often try to circumvent. Obviously, this doesn’t dismiss the time-space folding problems you…

Being disruptive and unruly in court and having horrible opinions are very far from a viable insanity defense. Sure he might try it, but it will fail, specifically for the remarks he made to the cops.

Staten island is ready to fight you over that last comment..

Yea, i guess there are levels to it..

yes. A/C and work product priv are different. This is not a bang-bang issue. The judge will have to look at the priv log and make a doc by doc determination. Certainly, however, everything they sent to PH as the basis of their investigation should be turned over as those docs were not created in anticipation of…

Discovery disputes are the yawnsville of legal reporting. All the source material Baylor provided to PH should be turned over as these documents created during the normal course of business, not in anticipation of litigation, and are incredibly relevant. Often people confuse the attorney privilege with the…

Trump was never really “loved” in NYC.. at least, as far as I can remember. Maybe back in the 80s. All that money can buy your friends and security in NYC.

Everyone who has ever spent significant time on the island is nodding their heads enthusiastically. Of the people who are still there, half are quietly appreciating this solid burn and the other half are outraged and shouting, “if youse don’t like it, leave it!”
