Not in this case. Since he’s appealing and asking for a new trial, it would just start from square one. It would not be considered being tried twice for the same crime - it would be as though the first never happened.

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.

I hope he doesn’t get it overturned. He had plans to become a doctor, and particularly a specialty which I forget, but remember enough about that it would give him power over extremely vulnerable patients. If he’s no longer considered guilty and no longer on the sex offender registry, it technically opens up the…

I hope not. I’m already not that great looking and I’d rather not look so much worse so quickly.

Men might consider wearing cameras at all times, a la police officers, since they seem to have so many memory problems.

You can just tell by the arrogant, dudebro mansplaining of their reporting how insufferable and toxic the culture in this joint must be. I am rarely more angry than when they had a little white nerd boy covering women’s body image in Mauritania. Even the Nazi coverage in Charlottesville they put themselves front and…

A good lesson to teach boys at a young age: You don’t have to talk. Not saying anything and remaining silent is an option.

Thomas Newman is incredibly talented (and prolific). I think this is some of his best. I also love the American Beauty soundtrack.

100%

I think that Harding got in a bad cycle with figure skating well prior to the knee-bash. Probably she wasn’t much fun to be around, but it was reasonable for her to get mad and raise a stink about how she was treated. Was she supposed to be Miss America or was she supposed to be an elite athlete? If the whole culture…

Saaaaaaame. Now my siblings make fun of me for being Fancy and Elitist. Shitheads! We come from the same place.

One critic said the difference between Kerrigan and Harding was Kerrigan was working-class and Harding was lower-class. I think other authors describe the difference as the “deserving poor” and the “undeserving poor.” Or “blue collar” and “white trash.”

I think it’s more about how Kerrigan carried herself. She came off as classy. Harding always looked and seemed trashy AF. From experience with my own trashy ass family, it’s something that some people realize and react to at an early age. I couldn’t wait to be away from where I grew up and the people I grew up with. I…

I agree with you 100%! But people have commented on these articles, calling Nancy a princess and alluding to her privilege, and that’s pretty freaking unfair to Nancy. Relative privilege, sure, but her dad was a welder.

Oh god, and fucking hate the smug filmmaker trope of “did you enjoy the gratuitous and cheerfully-scored violence we spent thousands of hours and millions of dollars to show you? Well, surprise, YOURE THE REAL MONSTER FOR WATCHING IT !”

This exactly captures the vibe I got from the trailer. Yes, it looks well-crafted. But it also looks incredibly mean.

Chris Pine has an official Armani cologne that he describes as having “notes that are redolent of smoke and leather chairs and sitting around the fire and sharing a great meal and conversations.”

Chris Pine is better than Pratt! He’s #3

Literally was just saying to my GF last night that Chris Evans dating Jenny Slate made him the #1 Chris, above Hemsworth (#2, just fine, also Thor: Ragnarok was fantastic), EDIT Pine (#3, just... you know, totally a person who is there), and Pratt (#4, as while Andy is great, he’s not).
