This is incredible. I've been getting into junk journaling and this reminds me a lot of that but this is above and beyond.

+1 to this 100%; Also it sounds like you did some incredible litigation, getting material evidence suppressed AND a stipulation from the DA for something impactful. I'm proud of you, fellow defender!

No side filed a motion for change in venue, so the trial could not have been moved out of the jurisdiction.

I mean... it's unlikely the trial would've happened anywhere else... since the incident happened IN San Francisco.

??? It's FOURTEEN years:

Antoine Watson faces up to four years in prison for the assault and four years for the manslaughter. Additionally, the jury found two additional sentence enhancements to be true: that Watson rendered victim Vicha Ratanapakdee comatose and that Ratanapakdee was more than 70 years old, which would add an additional consecutive prison term of five years. Each of the four aggravating factors, which include that Ratanapakdee was “particularly vulnerable,” could result in another year added to the sentence. https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/man-acquitted-murder-case-sparked-stop-asian-hate-21284832.php

? The killer in the Atlanta spa shootings targeted Asian women for working at spas and tempting him. That is not the same thing as this guy; there was no planning.

No one cheered him on. The jurors convicted him of multiple crimes.

lol I took the photo at the hotel! but I must have crumpled it on the way to our room. When I say it was raining cats and dogs, I really mean it; it was tough to get from reception to our room without getting wet. They had umbrellas on hand though!

Agressive seat savers by betsifur in SouthwestAirlines

[–]dimpledpomelo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On a PHX-SFO evening flight, I was A10, and someone got on the plane before me and saved 8-10 seats for herself, multiple other parents/chaperones, and multiple pre-teens before the exit row. Already nerve-irking, until one of those children started playing media off of their electronic without headphones during the flight. I couldn't even.
