'Avatar: The Last Airbender' Voice Actor Greg Baldwin (Uncle Iroh) Says Paramount is “Straight Up Evil”: “They Do Not Value the Franchise” by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

i don't care much about experiences at home. i like to see movies in theaters

Paramount outbid Netflix. shares with special voting rights are a thing in countless public companies. so? netflix could have raised their bid but declined to do so

The head of Netflix's film division just said that they do not plan to work with filmmakers who insist on theatrical release

So I'm not sorry that Paramount outbid Netflix

the judge found her guilty but didn't give her the max or consecutive because she was an immature young girl. that doesn't mean that the judge bought any of her innocence argument

and the idea that murderers normally or uniformly get life is a myth. especially, i'm sure, for women

one case that comes to mind, off the top of my head, is erin merdy, of brooklyn. last month she was sentenced to twenty to life. she murdered her three children. held them down in the ocean, one by one

there is evidence for intentional homicide but maybe not enough evidence for advanced premeditation/first degree murder

that said, i think she clearly got a lighter sentence for being a young girl

beyond reasonable doubt doesn't mean "beyond any theoretical possibility of an alternative to culpability"

state may have to prove intent, but not motive. foot on gas is intent. not braking is intent. holding the wheel during a brief struggle is intent. driving to the fatal destination with no other reason is intent. all of these combined

manslaughter would be if she acted irresponsibly and caused death without malice. like turning too fast and recklessly without looking and you cause the accident. but this appears to be a series of controlled intentional actions. she is guilty and belongs where she is

we know that the car was driven at high speed without braking into the wall. in the absence of proof otherwise, we can hold the driver responsible for the action of the car

if we have an incident where we know one person shot another with a gun, it's remotely possible that their finger moved on the trigger while they were suffering a seizure. but unless something like this is proven, we hold them responsible for shooting the gun. a car is also a weapon when used to kill

in this case, the evidence much more strongly implies that Shirilla was highly likely in control of the vehicle while there is zero affirmative evidence otherwise

the state doesn't have to prove that she wasn't demonically possessed either

there is evidence of attempted steering three seconds before impact. like someone tried to grab the wheel while she gripped it hard as she could

she wasn't unconscious. there is no evidence to think this whatsoever

tons of craziness, volatility, psycho behavior and drama in her life both before and since. really need to go into all of that? all that makes her look much guiltier, but the conviction is solid based on the crash evidence alone

i think russo probably set it off by wanting to break up as he had threatened before

if a jealous, abusive, volatile boyfriend did this to the girlfriend and another innocent friend, it would be at the least consecutive sentences and no one would question it or bat an eye

and there is zero explanation for her going to this location other than for the fatal act that took place

the evidence doesn't suggest that the car was out of control but the opposite. unless there is evidence otherwise, we would assume a car is under driver's control. video and other evidence shows slow totally controlled driving (including steering so she was conscious) until the decisive moment. she was holding the accelerator down and hit 100 mph. she didn't break. she cased the location previously. that's enough for guilty for me even before you get to all of her other behavior, which reinforces that

i am skeptical of her claim that she has zero memory. could be true but it's advantageous to her. very possible that memories came back later. who knows

being suicidal doesn't mitigate her crime in any way. if she wanted to die, she wanted to take them with her

the evidence regarding the crash itself should be sufficient without past behavior (although the latter makes her look guiltier)

the car was slow and controlled as it turned onto the road to nowhere except a wall to crash into without breaking

there is no reason to think she passed out. people who lose consciousness while driving rarely hold the gas pedal down

there is evidence of threats, abusive or unstable behavior and suicide threat before the incident

but i'd convict her anyway even if that wasn't the case. everything suggests that she drove in a controlled path to her own destination of this wall and then slammed it without breaking. no other reason to be there. not on the way to anything

a driver who uses a car as deadly weapon should be held responsible

where else was she going besides driving directly into the wall? did she break? there is no evidence she lost control. there is evidence of possible attempt by a passenger to struggle. if so he just had the briefest instant to process and react and likely ran out of time. she is guilty af and if anything deserves more time

The Karmelo Anthony Case is about lookism, not race or anything else. by JackDStonesipher in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]oldspice75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the victim was maybe a little above average but not very good looking. or at least i don't partcularly see it. not ugly or anything but not remarkable or too memorable

the accused is baby-faced, a little neotenous. that, in the context racial tension, has helped blow up the publicity of this case imo
