My mom married my father in the 1970s. It was her second marriage. They divorced about 5 years ago. She could not receive communion for 35+ years because of that state of grace bullshit.

They would only use that if they were going for some type of insanity, guilty but mentally ill or other type of mitigated guilty plea.  That is rare.  the possibility of a brain injury or personality issue is more of a sentencing matter.

No kidding. I imagine poor Charles Woodson just trying to enjoy the Deadspin comments section when he gets hit with that.

If you need to know the sum total of a set of numbers that has no skipped digits, i.e. 1 to 10, then your answer will always be the highest number times the median

You can figure out perfect cube roots by knowing the cube of 1 through 10. This is much easier in your head when the cube is 100 or less though.

There is an analogy that compared Lowry going into this guy’s main workplace and shoving him vs. this guy coming into Lowry’s main workplace and shoving him. It’s not a disingenuous argument. It’s disingenuous to claim that others are saying that they are the same, when all that they need to be is reasonably similar.…

With those glasses she is either trying to oust Lewis or Gilbert from the next Revenge of the Nerds talent competition or she is starring in the next Invasion of the Bee Girls

I’m pretty sure their testes are their besties. Who else wants to be friends with them?

He used a groupon that relied upon you paying for your meal?  Fuck that dude.  Pay for your next meal and get one free.

His defense is really bad

That is more specific to this situation than my answer.  I agree with you.  That’s how the “I didn’t know” defense is going to work here, theoretically.

I believe that to be true. Certain persons belonging to privileged groups are believed by the police more often, leading to charges not being brought, or are believed by a jury if it goes to trial.

The point is to combine it with free or cheap higher education.  That way those who otherwise couldn’t afford higher education, can choose to go to school or back to school.  When viewed as a comprehensive plan, it is not elitist.

The bail systems are state problems. The federal government will have difficulty weighing in absent a constitutional amendment or a federal court involvement.

With crimes, there are levels of intent known as mens rea. If something requires one to act knowingly, then “I didn’t know” can be a defense to defeating the crime because the person is stating that they did not know all of the facts or reasonably be aware of facts that would constitute illegal conduct.

Testimony is evidence.  Testimony is evidence.  Testimony is evidence.  Keep repeating it until you understand that she could prove the case on her words alone.

Rickard was burned alive in his armor so there may not even be much left of the body

There is a perfect explanation for Summer’s sacrifice.  It’s a wolf that is protecting his pack.  Summer isn’t the alpha there.  Bran, despite his infirmity, is. 

They call him hodor because his “hold the door” morphs into “hodor” by the end of his seizures as a child. The child is repeating what is being yelled at adult Hodor as the yellers are getting further away. As they are yelling from further away the “the” as well as the end of “hold” ends up getting lost. Trying…

Absolutely.  He begs the question.
