this is why it's tough to be a lawyer in an internet debate, I was clarifying the criminal offense of harassment, at least in MD, for some other commenters, not defending the guy in this case. And he is being dumb and creepy by calling her sister, but it doesn't rise to the level of harassment, he called her once.

don't have too many.

while I generally agree with you this case is super petty and the judge is going to laugh it out of the courtroom. he has no cause of action.

well the time of day of the calls can be relevant if the purpose is to frighten or annoy the victim, but if she's usually up that late, then no. the real key to harassment by phone id being told by the victim to stop and then continuing to do it.

i've seen people ask for trials over parking tickets…

harassment is a continuing course of conduct with the intention to annoy the victim. Here he called her twice and her sister once you get his money, if she told him to stop calling and he continued, then its harassment. if she ignored the calls and he stopped after 3, then it's not. at least in MD.

She confessed!

i had to do that a few times at my old job. now I just do criminal defense and small claims can suck it.

here they make them all rotate through, so if you get a senior judge on a traffic day you know he/she will be pissed.

ages ago when we went to see snakes on a plane, everyone in the theater was drinking, and in the middle I dropped an empty bottle and it rolled all the way down to the screen. everyone heard it and lost it.

I was raised Presbyterian, and I thought it was *wink wink* we don't reaaaally know until we die, but we're Presbyterians, so, you know…

whatever, eat your stale triscuits and be glad you're saved.

i read it in school as an assigned book. Can't remember what grade though.

that's the rigid English class system rearing its head as well.

but there's the very moving scene where Sam sees the dead southron, and sees that he's just a man, and wonders about his family, etc.

I can get behind that. I am personally kind of conservative but politically progressive. It's weird.

I miss the old AV Crew. At least we still have O'Neal!

It can be three things
