@classenews All of these things she mentions demonstrate a lack of understanding of the standard. It is not “beyond a doubt”. There is no requirement there be a “smoking gun” (I’d argue there was, but that’s beside the point). There is no 100% certainty requirement.
@SquattyCamels@InsiderWire You are not correct. There is nothing guaranteeing she will be held longterm if not guilty. In fact, everything I’ve read/heard on the topic makes it seem likely she would be released within a year.
@ProsecutorsPod He probably thinks they are 11 for not guilty and that those 11 are trying to convince the hold out that there is reasonable doubt, but that hold out is making comments suggesting he doesn’t care about reasonable doubt or doesn’t see it their way.
@TheChiefofSTL@gatewaygrinders I hate the Cubs as much as anyone, but he’s statistically the best player not named Shohei Ohtani at the moment, and his team is the hottest in the league outside of maybe the Marlins. I’d love to have a player who has his production but acts like an idiot every once in a while.
@AdrianAnnMiller@Greg651 I’m not sure what you mean. You’re talking about an argument that on its face is not applicable to the matter being decided? Then the argument would be meritless and possibly frivolous for another reason, and you should point that out in your response (or at the hearing).
@Blain_Crain I’d argue the other way around - in the current transfer portal regime, where players transfer year after year, and sometimes shut themselves down in the middle of the season in anticipation of transferring, why shouldn’t coaches feel free to do this?
@BudElliott3 No and actually you’re making his point. There are 30 teams “alive,” but only 12 are going to make the playoffs. Now those other 18 will feel like whatever bowl they get is a meaningless consolation prize, especially since the non-playoff bowl games are viewed that way anyway.
@Reds03@sm23@nickjj42@TheAthleticMLB@Ken_Rosenthal Griffey scoring the winning run of the 1995 ALDS is an extremely iconic moment, even if it didn’t ultimately amount to much that postseason. That said, Griffey was arguably the face of the sport at that time already, so your point still stands.
@nickjj42@TheAthleticMLB@Ken_Rosenthal Playing on the West Coast doesn’t really matter. One of the biggest stars the sport has ever seen played in Seattle during his prime.
