Wow. So he’s rolling the dice after all that outcry, on the chance that he’ll get a lighter sentence? And even if he doesn’t get a new trial, either way he’s closed the door, utterly, on taking the path of remorse and reform by subjecting his victim to all of this.

Last I heard Pervsky was moved to family Court where he could rain down a different dimension of terror on a new batch of women. Imagine a mom going for full custody when her soon to be ex is freed from domestic assault because the police don’t recommend jail time because she gave birth to that man’s child which is…

I’ll bet the accounting department pulled out the champagne the second this POS’s father showed up with this idea and hasn’t been sober since.

Also, in what twisted world is the violent rape of an unconscious woman mitigated by being carried out in a “three sided trash enclosure” instead of “behind a dumpster”?

Why bother changing his name. If 71% of republicans in Alabama would vot a child rapist into office, some woman will marry him, he will get a job, and all will be awesome for him in the fucked up world no matter what.

This is basically how the appeal works:*

The fucker’s family probably realized in Trump’s America, not only could he get his conviction/sex offender status potentially overturned, but Brock could actually make a wildly successful career out of being a poor, maligned, socially executed rapist hero for the alt-right.

“No, it’s a great idea on the part of his legal team. Not so much on his part, of course, but who cares about that asshole?”

Did they give us an update on whether or not he is able to enjoy steak again? I’ve been so worried about that.

I’m interested in the question of sentencing, too. The thing where Oscar Pistorius’ sentence was increased after a review in South Africa brought up so many questions for me: Won’t he automatically get a new judge if he’s granted an appeal? Isn’t the new judge much less likely to give him a lenient sentence? Can…

A 172-page brief? After the time had been served? Well. Shelling out $200k (an educated guess) to clear a criminal record suggests at the very least that his sentencing statement of remorse wasn’t exactly heart-felt.

This is nice news. White, male, privilege really never ceases to amaze. Dumpster vs. 3 sided trash receptacle, or whatever. Wouldn’t anyone just think, holy crap I should just thank my lucky stars I’m already out of jail?

(2) it implied moral depravity, callousness, and culpability on the appellant’s part because of the inherent connotations of filth, garbage, detritus and criminal activity frequently generally associated with dumpsters

But Chippewa Falls is near Duluth. The whole point of that conversation is Jack has to convince Rose how awful the freezing cold water is to be trapped in before you die of hypothermia (and it’s some horrible foreshadowing). Being from Texas doesn’t really work. What’s he going to talk about? The lack of water or…

“Draw me like one of your French Canadian Cajun girls...”

This. McConnell was trying to get Moore to drop out when it looked like he might lose. If he’d done so early, he could push Sessions as a write-in and achieve the double accomplishment of 1) getting a recused AG out of the DOJ, so That Asshole could put some toady in his place and commit his own Saturday Night…

We made a massive mistake in not taking that Supreme Court shit deadly seriously. Meeting that action without large-scale protest and pushback was such a mistake on ALL of our parts. I think most people assumed Hillary would win and it wouldn’t matter anyway. Looking at it in hindsight it was kind of the canary in the…

My dream scenario. Following the landslide election, they immediately impeach Trump and Pence based on recent Mueller conclusions (backed by a huge groundswell of support), President Pelosi walks into office and announces she won’t run for re-election, and then immediately perp walks out all of the assholes Trump put…

...If?
