Do players get paid the remainder of their contracts even when they retire?

Most of the high profile cases seem to be like that now: We don't want to rule on that, congress, you broke it, you fix it. Or states: go to town.

In both cases yes, but from my point of view with each case the standing is reversed.

I wonder if Ray Shero had to have a background investigation before acquiring Matt Cooke

You know British and their slang, they're actually looking for men that know about women to explain to the BBC what a woman is.

underage male hooker?

You want another state? We'll just turn our backs as you annex it. Just promise us you'll continue running your hockey teams into the ground, that's all we ask.

We don't want no freeloading infants. Pick yourself up by your boot straps and do whatever it is we do in North Dakota (Play hockey? Shovel driveways? Cut down trees?) If you start working now, you'll get your 40 quarters in by the time you're 10.

And then you have people like Santorum who took their still-born child home with them. He probably looks at it like: I did it, and it was good for me, so you need to do it too.

I wonder if Canada is interested in some land?

Nope, but I watch a lot of TV and I took Latin for 4 years.

The big important reason they have it in the US is to make sure the prosecutors have the case all tied up before taking it to court. Occupationally and socially an indictment can be almost as damaging as a guilty verdict, you shouldn't be able to press charges lightly and they need to do their due diligence to make…

Sorry I think I might have been trying to comment somewhere else, it just gets to me how many people are commenting that this is possible in the united states. Sure, there are mistrials, but they don't happen after the verdict is passed down. Once the verdict is sealed for an acquittal, it's over.

On the other hand, removing double jeopardy can encourage a situation like this where a prosecutor can hold a grudge and continuously harass someone like what appears to be the case here.

In the US it's nearly impossible for the prosecution to get a second trial after an acquittal is handed down. There would have to be proof of the judge being bribed or something crazy happening that invalidates the indictment (ball v. united states). Now, the US does have Dual Sovereignty doctrine which says that if…

It's called elaboration. Maybe you should have commented on the OP's post, smart guy.

yeah, just updated my post with some other exceptions, if you're interested.

I believe it's double jeopardy. If you're acquitted you can't be tried again in the United States, unless you waive that right. I'm sure it's the same case with guilty verdict, it's double jeopardy to have a new trial but if you're guilty you'd rather have a new trial than be bound by double jeopardy to serve your…

Yeah, I thought extradition for murder was one of those things that other countries tend to be in agreement about.

Your tastes and mine are in sync. Every day I start out with 3 eggs fried over easy together.
