@3YearLetterman Then lost our coach. But he would've left, anyway. But then we steamrolled Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl...so the sting remains, but it was probably a wash for the future of the program.
@shipwreckedcrew We don't typically dismiss charges in state court, after a magistrate has found probable cause, prior to indictment if still we intend to proceed. The prosecutor could have kept her on bail for another 9 months without indicting her if he was seriously intending to proceed.
@shipwreckedcrew It's not DOJ. It's my county's prosecutor and Circuit Court. I don't think she'd even been indicted, but it was a bad case and she likely never will be.
@damintoell Mostly agreeing with you, that of course a defective indictment, an indictment that's pleaded incorrectly, an indictment that charges the wrong crimes, etc., of course effects the outcome on the case.
Given that, the lack of evidence of Comey's intent will be critical here.
@wesyang But that's generally not what happens. You typically spend more time in a mental institution than you would have spent in prison waiting for parole.
@clairlemon 1 is the rule for the entire internet. A platform is not a speaker. But promoting specific content is speech. They could be held liable for promoting defamatory content.
"Product safety" is not a traditional exception to America's free speech protections.
@stanfordNYC It it was truly correct on the elements, that's not a problem. And if the jury was right on the elements, that sentence is reasonable.
Involuntary manslaughter is a misdemeanor in my state.
@clairlemon Your question is based on a misconception. Obscenity is a class of speech that is not protected by our 1st Amendment. "Thinspiration" is protected speech. 1st Amendment rights apply to children. The government does not have a general power to parent the children of America.
