Parent’s can drive their kids to the next state without violating a law.

again. I doubt the Dad even thought about it as Rape. It was obviously, but I am betting he just thought his daughter was loose and got knocked up, then decided to make her “honest.” It’s a big sad mess of ignorance all around.

The father in this story obviously did not think of it as rape. He seemed to view his child as capable of consent, which is crazy medieval but in his mind, his daughter had fooled around and the rapist needed to make an honest woman out of her. He probably did not think of it as rape until the police came knocking.

The McDonald’s case was a correct finding. And the public perception is the result of real efforts to mislead the public. It resulted in some u unfortunate changes to tort laws. Re: your comment about what wasn’t seen; I will grant that there could have been something I did not see on TV or read in the books…

I think a lot of the holes have to do with the timing of the interview. He is just some guy who got assaulted and then asked questions about it by a reporter. There was probably an understandable reason that he didn’t get into

It’s my honest evaluation that what was presented was more than convincing. I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

Still disagree. Let’s just say we eliminated the forensic evidence related to air sampling which was admittedly totally new. All the remaining evidence still constituted a very strong circumstantial case. I am sticking with stupid jury.

Still beg to disagree. The evidence was mostly circumstantial, but there was so much that any doubt to the contrary was not reasonable. I first thought that it was another instance of the CSI effect, where juries demand impractical amounts of forensics, but based on post trial interviews it seems like they were…

Oh there was plenty of evidence. Just a pretty stupid jury.

He had help from a respectable atty

Hell I watched the trial everyday and assumed they were.

I think guys like these lie more readily than telling the truth, even to themselves. Even though he knows that he raped these women, he will fight tooth and nail to avoid admitting anything. He is compelled to just call his women liars, because to do otherwise would be to acknowledge them as human beings. That is not…

Hey if you cant make misogynist jokes while trying to protect women’s safety when can you do it?

I am willing to bet that king really had no idea that Jap was offensive and then when informed that it was, just doubled down. And then he trots out the “I would not be offended if they did it to me” line... which roughly translates to.. “i can be shit on people because I like it when they shit on me.”

I’m tempted to think that also, but to print them AFTER they were turned down.. its all very weird.

I went to college in Birmingham, and what surprises me is that its at Samford. The school itself always had a very lefty vibe. Birmingham itself is the mostly black democrat exception to the rest of Alabama. Kinda like Austin is an island of progressive hipsters in a land of conservative ranchers.

Yeah, the artist apparently has done nudity on a giant scale with all genders for a while, but he is probably making a mistake assuming that his audience is familiar with his work in some way.

I don’t think it is so much the delivery of pizza as much as it is a crack on Domino’s as famously unhealthy. But either way. cheap shot.

“media was too credulous” is code for “Its your fault for believing our lies.”

And she was his son’s sister... so even if not his daughter, it is easy to see him thinking of her that way. If he did think of her as a daughter and easily made the leap to sexual partner... it could be relevant. Of course it could be argued that Mia fabricated the molestation story because it people would believe it…
