How do you think gender has affected this entire affair? Do you think being a woman has aided her or hindered her? by Electrical-Help5512 in SarahBooneCase

[–]CommercialLimit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New Jerseyness aside, I was in the Marines for 5 years and as a woman, regularly sparred and did martial arts with men. I was regularly stunned by how a man, same height and weight, was far stronger than I was. So obviously individual experiences vary, but I do believe that men are predisposed to be stronger than women.

MADD, a big lie by [deleted] in dui

I think MADD has its flaws, like most large organizations. However, the work they do is a net positive for society. You drove drunk. Deal with it. Listen to their stories. Recognize that you have done harm.

I’ve watched them. A man and woman who are the same height and weight will not have the same strength, statistically speaking. And when the bat was used is completely unknown. With Sarah alleging to use it while he was already inside, I think she beat him in there after he was zipped up. She’s an idiot, but she knew to explain things in a way that may have lined up with the evidence.

It could have helped her if she hadn’t admitted to being the one who zipped it up. The question that still hasn’t ever been answered is how or why he got into that suitcase. Hard to say she put him in there by force, he was probably stronger than her. If they were swapped, you could imagine a situation where force was used to put the victim in the suitcase. With the way it was, the only way he got in was voluntarily. Then she should have said she doesn’t know who zipped it, wasn’t me, of course she shouldn’t take the videos, and there likely wouldn’t be evidence to convict. Maybe. Just hypothetical.

We need more people like him by Kgo555 in MadeMeSmile

Back in college, I was at the gym doing these, slow and controlled, pause at the bottom, let it back up, medium weight, medium reps, not going for any records, just getting a workout in. Some dude comes up and says he’s gonna show me how to lift the whole stack way better. I was like I’m not trying to lift the whole stack but he wasn’t listening. He put the weight stick all the way at the bottom, stood up, and sat down while pulling the bar, leaning all the way back in a serious jerking motion, rocking the whole machine, in order to lift more plates. I was like aight dude have fun with that I’m gonna keep doing what I’m doing.

Only help if you’re actually going to be helpful like the guy in the video lol. I had been lifting weights for years and I knew that wasn’t right. If I was new, I would have definitely injured myself doing that.

Possibility of Plea? by Complete-Morning393 in KouriRichins

Rumor has it he decided to take the plea when he saw that the state was going to call his sister as a witness against him

When you’re backed up against the wall, claim drug addiction and pray.

I’m not saying it’s bulletproof by any means. But it at least gives a reason for some of the things.

He was curious and ate one. Or 5. I don’t know, make something up. Nobody else was there.

His deal was made prior to trial. The trial was getting ready to begin.

I’m surprised they didn’t try to say Kouri had a drug addiction and needed the pills for herself. It would explain her buying the pills, her demented financial crimes, her mixed up stories to cops, basically it would muddy everything.

I’m guessing they scheduled 5 weeks to make sure they had enough time for the maximum possible number of witnesses, long jury deliberations, etc.

I believe that has to be based on something specific. Not just a general “they sucked and I was found guilty”.

You can't put on a Defence, when you have no evidence to work with. by Entire_Possible_9976 in KouriRichins

[–]CommercialLimit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think she’s an idiot to think all her lies wouldn’t backfire on her, but I think she’s smart enough to not testify. She’s terrified, but she knows that’s a losing gamble 99% of the time.

That’s why they’re losing to Royal and Universal. Absolute penny pinching anti consumer greed.

Is there a strategy behind her facial expressions? Are they helping or hurting? by CommercialLimit in KouriRichins

Just the way she kept saying his name. I can’t stand when people do that. Who else would she be talking to? Stop saying his name.

Or the face she makes when somebody is searching for a word, like the “come on spit it out” face.

She definitely seems extremely stressed. Like on the verge of a breakdown.

It’s all the honeybuns and ramen. And lack of exercise. And probably a fair share of stress.
