Curiously enough, Ms Dye writes this the same week that the woman who accused Emmett Till died but without mentioning that.

Well, maybe not the worst. No face tattoos, but his demeanor is about the worst you could order up for a case like this.

Your example is blessedly clear as to what may have happened. I have encountered many that made me say, 'Thank god i am not on that jury.'

That's the way the adversarial system works. It is not well-suited to determine many kinds of questions.(It happens that I am studying McCarthyism and just finished reading Herbert Packer's 'Ex-Communist Witnesses,' which is a searching inquiry into how hard it is to determine political 'facts.' If anything, sexual facts are even less adequately dealt with in our system.)

One of the jurors apparently is an OAN believer. So, do NY civil trials require unanimous verdicts?

"How strange that the author of this article on Topic A didn't write about Topic Z." What an utterly stupid thing to say.

Ta, Liz. Shabbat Shalom. I hope TacklePenis is unpleasantly surprised when the jury votes.

They pay attention to Trump because he's dimwitted and mean. It brings viewers.

Maybe. Joey doesn’t strike me as perceptive.

The topic is how women are treated when they report sexual assault. With many generalizations, most of them belied by the experience of Donham.

Ah, ok. I hadn’t seen this news, but I guess there are a surprising number of assholes willing to leave BigLaw partnerships in order to represent TFG, who has to be absolutely the worst client ever.

I suppose an argument could be made that having endured a lifetime of jokes about his name may have contributed to him becoming the terrible adult he seems to be now. An explanation perhaps; an excuse - never.
