No the judge was not at all bound by the deal he made. He may have been guilty of other misconduct but he was absolutely right that a psych eval and probation were not an appropriate penalty for anally raping a thirteen year old. And it is within his rights as a judge to reject the terms of a plea.

THIS!

a) You probably don’t ride. Believe me, there are plenty of places that are unsafe for a car to pass where it’s no problem for a bike (either due to the bike being able to do the pass or simply because of things like better sightlines due to lane positioning etc). So it comes down to The Law vs. common sense, being…

Looks to me like a case of asshole (swerving into them) on asshole (speeding recklessly, passing in a no passing zone, no safety clothing) crime.

Yes:

And not very good, in my opinion. Her being so stunning almost makes up for it, but not quite. Mama should have been an easy 10 for me, and it wasn’t. Chastain’s much-too-obvious Acting really took me out of it several times.

Still prefer this version

Ugh, I wish!

I had such high hopes for this episode and it was so not funny....

We get it. You don’t like Snoopy. That doesn’t mean he killed anything. It just means you don’t like him.

You are pro choice and I am the fucking Queen of England.

How does it feel to be so gross and so so wrong?

Planned Parenthood doesn’t profit off of anyone. They are a registered non-profit. And I don’t believe you’re pro-choice for a minute.

Thank you for sharing, by the way; interesting to discover a “behind the curtain” view. Glad to know Nick is Il Divo in talent, not personal behavior. I have heard Rita Wilson can be very difficult as well, and I always wonder if the men in their lives are aware of those less savory characteristics?

The crew working on Will & Grace must’ve had a handful with her and Debra Messing :(

It’s not hard for them to turn Woody Allen down because they don’t care. They don’t care about the allegations or they flat out believe that Mia made it all up bullshit.

Well, Polanksi was convicted by a jury, and Cosby has been convicted by overwhelming testimony and the media, but I don’t think Allen has been convicted of anything except dating his partner’s (legal-aged) daughter. Doesn’t seem fair to lump the convicted rapists with Allen.

How does it feel to be a heartbreaker, Steve!!!!

Boo. And hiss. And sob.

Damn, my heart is broken. I know better than to read about my favorites, yet I always fall for it...
