“RAWHIDE!”

A sleeping juror could be grounds for appeal or new trial - although a lot of judges would want to avoid the issue by going with the “my head was down looking at my notes” excuse if a juror made it and the sleeping wasn’t blatant. The bias question is a tougher call. It’s the lawyer’s job to ferret those out during…

You’re right that procedural errors would have to be the grounds for appeal.  Severe jury misconduct could get you somewhere, but courts are understanding of the fact that when you get a jury from the community, you’re getting regular people, with all that entails.  Sometimes jurors fail to concentrate, and they…

Gtfoh with this bullshit. You know damn well that this story (assuming it’s true) isn’t simply about someone “changing their mind about something.” You also know damn well that if Boebert simply had a “personal opinion” about abortion, there wouldn’t be a problem. Guess what, everyone has a personal opinion about…

The function of the jury is to be the finder of fact. They are sworn to determine the facts based on their individual assessments of the evidence and witnesses. Judges are extremely cautious about interfering with a jury’s fact findings once they are made. One phrase you hear constantly from a judge in several…

I don’t think the scene where the general pulls the plug on Gump’s speech where he talks about how much the war sucks while the protesters cheer is very conservative.

Nah, the best film of 1994 was the Chris Elliott vehicle “Cabin Boy”.

You do have to admit, Mr. Hanks is a pretty smart guy. From the New York Times interview:

The accent itself, from a technical perspective, was quite good.  It just sounded wrong, especially when he was using slang.

“I think the tone of this article is tiresome”

Harvey straight-up raped, blackmailed, and also beat up a lot of people. He’s very unambiguously a criminal, not just a creep. 

Sadly almost no one is wearing masks these days, vaxxed and not

I mean, I would likely agree about the compensatory and will likely settle for less money going in any direction (other than to lawyers!).  I think Depp got the victory he wanted which was to clear his name enough in the public eye.

“Twitter is a hellscape that no one should visit”

Manwich sounds reasonable, and you sound like an unhinged wierdo.

No. The answer is no. Never engage.

The mountain of evidence demonstrated that Heard is a narcissistic, sociopathic, serial abuser who exploited her position of privilege and her clearly-troubled (ex)spouse for personal gain.

I’m sure that someone somewhere at some point has taken a picture of me next to someone who isn’t a very good person, or was later found to be a criminal. The silliness of showing Depp next to Manson as if that proves anything is beyond compare. How about we do some actual hard work and look at actual hard irrefutable …

Jesus Christ, are you completely incapable of having a conversation?

We all know that?
