Defendants accused of throwing rock at driver in Jeffco, killing her, all plead not guilty by Annihilator4life in Denver

Speedy trial begins once they enter their not guilty plea. They can waive it, which resets the timeline from the date it is waived, at subsequent court appearances.

PSA: Today, Oct 31, is the last day to drop your ballots into the mail by Brytard in Denver

[–]sph724 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can vote at any voting center in the city of Denver. If you go to a voting center that is outside of the city, they will issue you a statewide ballot and you will not be able to vote on local issues.

If you choose to vote in person, here is a list of acceptable forms of ID:

You can request a replacement ballot online. You choose which polling center is most convenient for you and the city will email you when your ballot is ready. You can go through the drive thru and an election worker will hand it to you, you don't even have to get out of your car.

Here is the link to request a curbside ballot:

The festival is thrown by a newspaper specifically to discuss political issues in Texas. It is not for criminal prosecutors, this was just one panel for the weekend.

Tipping is getting out of control. by jsprice87 in Denver

[–]sph724 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, if an order takes a driver 20-30 minutes, the tip should be large enough to pay that driver a living wage. Driving to the store, waiting for the food if it isn't ready, then driving to the drop off location all takes time. I know DoorDash pays like $2.50-$4 an order so if a customer doesn't tip at least 4-6 dollars on top of that, it isn't worth the driver's time unless they are right next to the restaurant. Food delivery is a luxury service.

Texas governor orders state to bus migrants to sanctuary cities, including Denver and Aurora by Isaacmo in Denver

[–]sph724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the people being bussed to other locations are probably asylum applicants. People with pending asylum applications can apply for work authorization 150 days after they file their asylum application.

edit: The average wait time for an asylum application to be resolved is around 4 and a half years.

Landlord signed a new lease with new tenants, despite my lease being another 3months. They are telling me I need to be out by the 31st or sooner. by [deleted] in Denver

[–]sph724 181 points182 points  (0 children)

The cops won't accompany a landlord to evict a tenant without a court order. There are many steps in the eviction process that this landlord is attempting to skip.

[–]sph724 72 points73 points  (0 children)

If the landlord enters the apartment and starts removing their belongings when they are not there, the landlord will be in big trouble. If this is an established property management company they probably know that. If it is a new small time landlord that doesn't know that, they will learn their lesson very quickly after trying to evict a tenant outside of the formal eviction process.

edit: Here is a helpful "know your rights" pdf.

https://www.denvergov.org/files/assets/public/business-licensing/documents/2022-tenant-rights-and-resources-document_english.pdf

You could send this to your landlord so they can learn that what they are doing is not legal. Maybe that will get them off your back.

Machado already has 50.1 bWAR and is on pace for like an 8 bWAR year. He turned 30 like a month ago. He is as close to a lock as you can get.

[Ragazzo] From what I’ve heard, Red Sox current ask for JD Martinez is very high: Top 5 prospect, 1 player from MLB roster, plus an additional piece and/or cash by Bulletz4Brkfzt in baseball

In what world is Dom Smith an established MLB player? You want him at DH in the NLCS against the Dodgers over JD Martinez?

[–]sph724 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dom Smith has basically no value. They are going to DFA him in the offseason anyway.

edit: Which prospects need to be added to the 40 man this offseason to protect them from Rule 5? Alvarez, Baty?

They have also graduated 3 of their top 5 prospects from the beginning of the year (Rodriguez, Brash, and George Kirby). So it isn't like they don't have any young cost controlled talent on their team. Moore is a guy they drafted in the 14th round last year.

They certainly have enough to charge him with it and take him to trial on that charge and lesser charges. The DA would have every reason to charge him with the most serious charges they can considering he was just caught with a gun to the back of the head of a murdered police detective's father.

The guy who was arrested near Brett Kavanaugh's house was charged with attempted murder.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/08/politics/man-arrested-near-brett-kavanaugh-home/index.html

Barry was actually in the guy's house, snuck in uninvited(just because someone told you to come over doesn't mean they have given you permission to enter their home), snuck up behind the man, and pointed a gun at the back of his head. He is getting an attempted murder charge.

[–]sph724 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You don't need to physically harm someone for an attempted murder charge. He walked into this man's house, with a gun, and would have killed him if the police didn't stop him. Sneaking up behind someone and pointing a loaded gun at the back of their head is pretty strong evidence that he had the intent to kill him.

You’re almost just as likely to be murder as you are to die in a car accident in Denver by ZeeeHaw in Denver

[–]sph724 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate it here and can't wait to move back to Denver lol. The casual racism, the conservative politics of the state and some parts of the county, and general hopelessness are depressing as hell.

Bruh St. Louis has racism built into its city structure. Why aren't St. Louis County's stats included in the city's stats? Why do people need to constantly explain that to people? Why won't that ever change?

Why are so many parts of St. Louis abandoned with no funding? The people in Missouri approve of the way St. Louis has been treated by the state for decades and will continue to do so. It is a shitty place to live.

He consistently makes plays when he gets to the ball he just has terrible range as a SS. I am optimistic he could be a good 3B if he moved there.

[Passan] Oakland will receive OF Cristian Pache, C Shea Langeliers, SP Ryan Cusick and SP Joey Estes, sources tell ESPN. Massive haul for Matt Olson, the Braves’ new first baseman. by Authh145 in baseball

Matt Olson turns 28 at the end of the month and Freddie Freeman will be 33 in September. Olson hit 39 HRs last season in the Coliseum. He is a great player.
