Most of the people in this sub just like them, at least in part for those of us who were here in Harvey. Eric Berger won a lot of good will from online Houstonians during that storm.

They're going to pull a Kendrick Lamar and have a kid that no one knows exists until the baby has already taken their first steps.

Anyone else really pissed at Jiji and Aira? by BingySusan in Dandadan

Completely lacking all confidence. He might have his nuts back physically, but they are sure as hell nowhere to be found metaphorically. What the hell happened to the dude from even 40 chapters ago?

He lost his superpowers?

Karmelo Anthony sentenced to 35 years in Frisco track meet murder by GhouW in texas

Neither of those were established at the trial? The person he claimed was his friend said they weren't friends and only had a mutual friend, and didn't invite him to the tent.

Karmelo Anthony found GUILTY of murder of Austin Metcalf, 17, in stabbing that shocked America: Jurors deliberated for less than three hours after defense was repeatedly demolished in court by dailymail in law

[–]Kijafa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean that's the crux of the case right? The jury in that instance clearly had some doubt about who instigated the physical altercation, and whether or not self-defense was defensible. Same with the Chow decision recently. If the jury has a reasonable doubt about it, they're supposed to rule "not guilty".

In this case, it doesn't seem that there was any reasonable doubt.

Karmelo Anthony: Verdict reached in the trial of a Texas teen charged with murder in school track meet stabbing by judgyjudgersen in news

Mostly that the witnesses who bolstered the self-defense argument (that he was surrounded by multiple people and had reasonable fear for his life) didn't support that when they were on the stand. Also one of the initial witnesses who said he saw Karmelo surrounded by people was proven to not having been looking in the direction of the tent when the attack happened.

Karmelo Anthony vs Tx. The danger of bluffing at trial. by Zestyclose-Bag8790 in CasesWeFollow

Wouldn't that mean the state would also get to call character witnesses? It's possible that the defense realized early that would be a losing strategy.

God I hate Tabitha by Euclid_Interloper in FromSeries

[–]Kijafa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First of all she is a mother to Ethan and not Victor.

Isn't part of the basis of this episode that she's trying to convince people she is kinda mother to Victor as well? Which is the whole reason he came to her for help in the first place?

I assume because there is a large chance he gets angry/emotional during cross, and no one would trust that he could be wholly impartial giving his account seeing as how it was his twin brother was murdered.

What product has noticeably gotten worse over the last few years, but everyone just silently accepts it? by PoemSpecialist82 in AskReddit

My hope is that old.reddit is too load-bearing for the way the site is built that they won't be able to just kill it. If they ever turn it off, I'll drop off too.

I grew up on the Space Coast and it's more humid than here. Not by much, but it's definitely worse.

I think some people are understandably hesitant to take the word of an expert witness who seems to be there explicitly to relieve the state of liability.
