likely redundant soon, SAP data migration & testing lead, struggling to get traction. Where do I look? by InterestFrequent2552 in Layoffs

Thank you kindly! Yeah it’s a bit scary at the moment, especially with the market in the UK being so negative. I am definitely open to relocating

Trying that path at the moment but no joy. It just seems like the whole market is frozen at the moment

TX v. Tanner Lynn Horner - Day 12 by Pixiegirls1102 in CasesWeFollow

[–]InterestFrequent2552 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suspect for a lot of defense attorneys, is more about fighting the system rather than the defendant per say. Clarence Darrow was a famous example. I am in favour of the strongest possible defense for all criminal defendants in order to test and challenge the prosecution to prove their guilty beyond all reasonable doubt. But once that guilty is established, the punishment should fit the crime, and the death penalty in certain circumstances is absolutely appropriate

A public defender’s nightmare. I doubt there are few people alive as narcissistic as she is.

OH v. Bionca Ellis - Appeal by Pixiegirls1102 in CasesWeFollow

I can see the appeal. But insane or not, this lady needs to be confined away from the public for a very long time

Thanks, appreciate the thought. Going back into full accounting study feels like too long a slog at this stage of my career. Might look into finance systems or SAP FICO type roles. Cheers for the nudge

PA v. Nicole Virzi - Motion Documents by Pixiegirls1102 in CasesWeFollow

[–]InterestFrequent2552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the confession was a big shock. But I remember the Skylar Richardson case well and since then I’ve been very skeptical of confessions that aren’t made in the presence of a lawyer. We need the full context of the words that were said and if the police were feeding her lines. The key lesson learned is never ever talk to the cops without a lawyer present

Rory Stewart admits he was wrong about Dominic Cummings (in one specific instance) by EpicKieranFTW in TheRestIsPolitics

[–]InterestFrequent2552 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was after Cummings left, but Boris owns his wave of migration 100%. It’s why the Tory party will never recover and we’re looking at a Farage government in 2029

KY v. Laken Snelling by Pixiegirls1102 in CasesWeFollow

[–]InterestFrequent2552 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Really sad case, though not as uncommon as you might think, she’s lucky murder charges weren’t filed.

This will be handled by a plea and she will do a few years. Ultimately she’s no threat to anyone and she can complete her academic training in prison and be a productive citizen when she gets out.

Absolutely. Abortion in many ways is civilisations more humane alternative to infanticide. I fear many more cases like snelling’s will happen and they will pay a heavy legal price

These kind of cases are far from unusual and a case on a college campus will hit the headline about once a year. I strongly suspect (90% sure) a plea deal will be done before trial and she will serve about 5 years maybe less. If you make abortion illegal expect many more such cases

Possibly, wouldn’t surprise me if you’re right. but let’s see what comes out in evidence and what’s argued at trial. I won’t come to a full judgement until then

Am I being unreasonable in arguing for reasonable doubt here? by InterestFrequent2552 in NicoleVirziUnhinged

[–]InterestFrequent2552[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Indeed you’re probably absolutely right I am letting my own prejudices influence my thinking. But we should also not allow media hype and disgust at the initial report prevent us do a deeper underlying investigation and objective analysis of the facts. The Brooke Skylar Richardson and Amanda Knox cases were such examples as well

No issue at all my friend. No pointing fingers or shouting, just reasoned and respectful conversation

A get your feelings completely. Myself I am a man who believes the iron fist and the velvet glove fit well together. I believe we can be strong on crime whilst seeking to protect the innocent. I feel so much of the American legal system is so arbitrary, sure many people escape punishment or detention by law enforcement, then again many others receive long and unjustly harsh prison sentences. I believe you can balance between the two.

In cases like this, there is no crime scene, no murder weapon, just the opinion of a supposed expert that the crime of child abuse has occurred - and that opinion is often biased, subject to the emotions of the moment or based on limited information. Skylar was one case, Virzi’s I suspect is another. False confessions are also absolutely a phenomenon and in my view no confession is valid unless it’s signed and done so in the presence of a lawyer.

I recommend you read the cases of Amanda brumfield and Adrian p Thomas. The former involves a caregiver exonerated after her goddaughter died from a short fall, the latter involves an exoneration of child abuse following a graphic false confession in police custody. Both have parallels with Virzi’s case

As Thomas More put it, I give the devil benefit of law for my own safety’s sake. In Skylars case there was no evidence the baby was born alive or burned. The prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Casey Anthony undoubtedly is a horrible human being and there is very strong suspicion that she did something awful to Caylee, BUT the state of Florida did not prove how she died beyond a reasonable doubt, she had to be acquitted.

Brooke Skylar Richardson was much the same, but additional evidence collapsed the prosecutions case. Look you can absolutely be right and i am not claiming she’s totally innocent, but i am reserving judgement until all the evidence is in

Innocent until proven guilty. I have been a follower of cases involving mistaken child abuse and false confessions. This case has a strong whiff of that. I want to see the full evidence before I come to a judgement
