You have a good point, but the second link, Tonya Lynne Jackson, looks racially ambiguous.

Could a jury be selected without at least one member who shot 50 Cent?

Almost everyone is a racist. In many jurisdictions, prosecutors will almost never charge a POC with a hate crime. Chicago is definitely one such jurisdiction. I am not saying that a hate crime is applicable to the situation here and there are many situations where a black person may be charged with a crime and a white…

That letter was sent to the set of “Empire.” It can be a terroristic threat. Whoever created and mailed the letter could be prosecuted for a terroristic threat. But, it might complicate prosecution if it was addressed to the sender and not intended to be opened by or to intimidate other people.

I think there was a “Dating” site with a travel with a stranger type theme, so that old people can travel with young hotties who want to get away, not have to pay, and presumably aren’t fastidious about sex partners. That would be more of a sure thing for all concerned than a contest.

People in States requiring a front plate often bend the plate to reduce the vertical height dimension.  Then the plate would be mounted lower down to minimize obstruction of the grille, but not drag on the pavement.  The plate number and sticker cannot be hidden, obviously.

Usually, there is kind of a division of labor, between the Feds and the State.  The Feds will usually investigate only the crimes that they might prosecute and the State will investigate only what the State might prosecute.  In some high profile, sensational cases everyone investigates the same things in duplicate,…

Right now there is a police investigation, so they are taking statements, interviewing witnesses.  The reason for a Grand Jury is that in theory, they are not yet decided that an actual crime was committed or what it is.  So, it is not surprising, regardless of what the police or prosecutor plan to do, that for now…

I suppose there were various crimes that can be attributed to the letter and who created it and how it was delivered and to whom.

It might be difficult to show that the actor’s suspected associates conspired to commit a crime.  It might not be criminal to mail the actor threats, provided he solicited them.  They might not have filed false police reports.  Helping stage a false assault and battery situation might not be illegal.  But, you may be…

Yes, terroristic threats would be more serious, but if the Feds are handling that, then it may not relate to this Grand Jury, which would be considering Illinois, state charges.

In Japan, frustration with the hopelessness of being underemployed is much greater and longer term than in the U.S. , so far, but customers are far more polite. The motivation of this viral meme is therefore likely to be to embarrass and spite the employer, not something personal with the customers.

Friendship is crucial, because that is what keeps you together during bad spots when the romance is not happening.  But, common ground can be created, if people make an effort, whether it is a hobby, dancing, or parenting.

“I wanted to give everyone a chance.” The idea of being fair is very endearing, but few people with that attitude can really follow through.  Usually, it wastes time at best and can even be dangerous in the wort case scenario.  Be honest about what you want and the actual statistical chance that what you want might…

You can also stream the 1993 Anime online, which gives you a sense of the emotional weight of the story in two parts, lasting a little more than fifty minutes, but like the film, may also lack some detail found in the manga.

It seems a bit out of the ordinary to the point of being ridiculous, to convene a Grand Jury to decide whether to charge anyone with filing a false police report. I have never heard of that being done before. If the alleged victim had been a woman, black or white, concocting a story, then the case would usually just…

Huma and Anthony could reunite... again.

I put in a domestic, U.S. city and a European city and it just spit out a bunch of global cities with Intl. Airport hubs.  Amsterdam?  Thanks for the perspicacious advice.  I would never have thought!

People have seats, so why not anthropomorphized cars?  They may have decided that LED headlights are less expressive and less spacious than the usually vacant real estate of windshields.  In the case of those wide, narrow curved head lamp, LED slits, it can be hard to animate the necessary expressiveness of eyes…

I believe they are not counting loans and grants to students as “Revenues from grants, federal contracts, or appropriations.” But, a fair question is whether HBCUs are more comparable to private universities than they are to public universities. Private universities would receive some percentage, public funding that…
