This is how a minor inconvenience should be handled.

So ... you think Evra is a racist based on absolutely no evidence whatsoever. What an asinine thing to say.

Yeah, my favorite part are all the comments talking about Evra's alleged "you are a South American" ... one of the many parts of Luiz Suarez's testimony the FA thought he was lying about.

There was a hearing. People testified. The panel found Luiz Suarez not credible in his testimony (and thus, not credible in his allegations concerning Evra's words).

We need a base in Argentina.

"Doc fee? I can see how that would be fair, but nobody will ever do it."

You seem to have missed the point of my comment.

Prosecutors pursue "these cases" (i.e. "cases in which the victim and alleged attacker knew each other, especially if they were romantically involved in the past or were drinking") all the time. In fact, "these cases" make up the vast majority of sexual assault cases I handle every year.

A jury cannot set aside an legislative enactment in a constitutional republic.

We did. I invited my brother, she invited her sister. Both of our parents were a bit disappointed, but they got over it. It helped to let them plan some family gathering/reception. (we also lied and promised them a "real" wedding was coming in the future ...). No one else in the family cared. Some friends…

"Voir dire is an unconstitutional attempt to control the flow of information between judges, defendants and prosecutors. Remember everyone is telling your a story. Your job is to find out the truth. You have the ability to ask for anything as a juror and should."

"A proper jury would have nullified those laws long ago and we'd not have the massive prison system we have today."

"You have the power to try a law and if you find it unlawful can rule against it."
