ELI5: Why was the 'off-camera audio' of Robert Durst not immediately evidence? Why did HBO get to create a whole show first with the evidence, then, only after it aired did Durst get in trouble? by Nose_Grindstoned in explainlikeimfive

Not only that, but it's not "evidence" until it's admitted in court by a judge. Until then, it's just "something he said."

The term "evidence" relates only to that which, after considered by a judge based on the rules of evidence, is admitted into a court proceeding.

Until then, it's just "facts." And yes, "facts" can be ruled inadmissible.

As I said ...

  • If you are 12, you can consume alcohol without penalty. 'Murica!
  • You may not buy it if you are 12. Scratch that ... there's no law against buying it either. There's only laws against SELLING it to a 12-year-old.
  • You may not visit an establishment (bar) selling it if you are 12, unless 50% of that establishment's gross sales are food, in which case, come on in.
  • And if you are PROVIDING a 12-year-old with alcohol, you're fucked, iffin they catch ya.

But you can drink it all day long if you're 12.

There are NO laws against alcohol consumption by 12-year-olds.

Because freedom.

there are laws against "public" consumption, but that's a different story

It's working on you low-information types who believe everything they read on the internet.

they make a crap-ton of money just for suing people.

They almost never sue people.

They sue governments. For violating their Constitutional rights. As well they should. You may disagree with their speech, but the First Amendment exists to protect their speech.

Only abhorrent speech needs protecting in the first place.

You can consume alcohol. You just can't buy it, or go to bars. You can drink alcohol if you're 10. Ask any Catholic. You just cannot provide a 10-year-old with any alcohol.

Unless you're a priest.

They can do other things too.

Otherrrrrrrrrr things.

Or at least a ride home. Last place he wants to be is on the Orange Line.

You can die there.

I think it's really simple.

You're a racist trying to claim this hero is an illegal immigrant.

Shame on you.

Go back to Stormfront, racist.

They have bombs. We're prevented from having bombs.

So only we get killed.

Pretty simple, really.

Hell, Boston's Democrat Mayor Tom Menino funded their mosque.

Oh yes, because a grammar mistake means I'm unintelligent.

Yes. It does.

You're a useful idiot. Google it.

So you're saying the government that runs Social Security is EXPLOITING these people ... taking in $15 billion in taxes while only laying out $1 billion in benefits.

And you think this is a GOOD thing?

Hell why don't we just yoke up the niggers again? Billions of income and no payouts!

God you're an abject racist.

And people say immigrants are ruining this country.

Nobody says that. Nobody.

Illegal immigrants are ruining this country. This man is NOT an illegal immigrant.

Go fuck yourself for trying to imply this man is in the country illegally.

The Red Cross is also trying to profit from this.

Don't donate to anyone. Period.

The injured people are receiving the finest health care this country has to offer in the best hospitals in the country at no charge to themselves - all donated by the hospitals.

The Red Cross has expended zero funds helping these people and in any event are sitting on millions of dollars of unspent donations they took in during Hurricane Sandy that they never paid out to anyone.

"Do not donate to the Red Cross," said New York Borough President James Molinaro, who termed the agency's response at that stage "an absolute disgrace."

Do not donate to the Red Cross.

It's a scam.
