please, he’s one of the most genuine people in Washington. granted that’s a low bar, but he’d clear even the highest bars of that measure.

You sound hurt.

so are you going to release the pics or nah?

Fortunately, Gawker is no longer around to post/broadcast them.

Okay so join me on a bit of a thought experiment.

I'd be shocked if you actually ever appear in court, as your plan is ludicrous. It's also just plain wrong—judges can find summary civil contempt without 30 days notice or much notice at all. Have no idea where you learned that but it's wrong.

As an attorney who mixes up “you’re” and “your”, you deserve to be jailed for contempt of the English language.

I’m not sure you and I will agree on who exactly is “the boss,” here!

“I want to stress one thing: these guys aren’t motorcyclists, they’re assholes on motorcycles. And there’s absolutely a difference.”

I think this kid is a garbage human, but lots of people, especially if they can clearly afford it like he can, would file this motion once they have new counsel.It’s really common to try the inadequate assistance of counsel angle to try to get a new trial. I don't think he'll get it (very hard to succeed on such a…

The only good thing about a PCR proceeding for him would be the chance for stiffer penalty this time around. Because as you say, not only would the victim have to go through it all again (though any prosecutor worth his wing-tips would push to have her existing testimony serve for this new trial) but the waste of…

I don’t see why this is a big deal. Motions for New Trial are filed all the time in these types of cases. Not sure about the rules up there, but down here I think it gets you an extra 60 days to file your notice of appeal, plus if you use the same grounds for your MNT that you will raise on appeal, it bolsters your…

Yep, only an asshole would use the legal system and, you know, the Constitution, to attempt to avoid criminal punishment. He, like everyone else, is entitled to the effective representation of counsel in all criminal prosecutions. It doesn’t mean we (or his lawyers) should like him. But we shouldn’t call him a dick…

You should be able to say this without the caveat.

Not to defend this shitlord in any way, but in the interests of, like, fact?

i think you should get stars for this comment but for a different reason than you think you should get stars

I went and read the actual decision linked in the article and it might make you feel a bit better to know that that quote is actually taken pretty badly out of context. While I still think the judge is totally wrong, he actually is very clear to qualify his statement. The full paragraph is:

The judge also said ‘ having reasonable doubt is not the same as saying the events did not occur’.

But he is right. There is a vocal set of people who are committed to “believing survivors/accusers” based on nothing other than the fact that they have accused someone of sexual assault. This describes many commenters here on Jezebel. It ignores any interest in finding the actual truth and is a bananas way of going…

I don’t think he was talking about women’s behaviour. Djokovic is not an M.D., or a biologist, or an expert in women’s issues. Also, he’s a sports player, so probably not an expert on communication, nor a very articulated person.
I think he was simply referring to the pre-menstrual pain. Some women i know really get…
