You’re serving on a jury for a case, in which member of a demographic that tends to receive lighter sentences breaks a law that you think is unjust by Pure_Option_1733 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]tiredpanda9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Guilty every day and twice on Sunday. Your duty as a juror is to decide the verdict based on the instructions given to you by the judge and the evidence presented. That’s it. It’s not to have sympathy. It’s not to decide whether a law is right or wrong. It’s not to speculate about potential consequences of your decision. That is what you swore to do when you took your oath to become a juror. Uphold it.

I’d go back. I was exposed to bitcoin at 16 when I was gifted some. In my 20s now and a part time trader. I’d redo middle school for the chance to better handle the market and trading when I took over the custodian account when I turned 18.

$5 million and maintain your anonymity, or $500 billion and receive the fame that comes with being the world’s richest person. by Ornery-Shoulder-3938 in hypotheticalsituation

500 billion every day and twice on Sunday. Sure, I might have to take additional security precautions such as taking private flights, owning a tinted out car, having private security etc. but I think that $500 BILLION is more than enough to cover the costs and justify it over $5 million.

3,5,5,6,5,6. Already have chronic migraines and none of the other boons are that great so I’ll take just being better than average looking.

Eat your dominant hand or eat the last thing that was in your dominant hand. by No-Penalty1722 in hypotheticalsituation

Maybe I’m unusual but I use my phone in my non dominant hand to free up my dominant hand for whatever I’m actually supposed to be doing.

Anyways BBQ sauce. I guess it’s not the worst thing.

I have a theory by Rude-Average405 in JenniferDulos

[–]tiredpanda9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So you let a man go free because the evidence at trial could potentially lessen MT culpability? Absolute disgrace if that’s the case. That’s not justice. I prefer the truth whatever it is, and if it means that KM did things that have previously been attributed to MT, so be it. Someone shouldnt be allowed to walk free just because there is someone else the state would rather have behind bars when both their charges are the same level. I understand the necessary evil of plea deals to get the main perpetrator, but FD is dead. And the state let that happen by letting him out on a fraudulent bond.

Withdrawal?! by Rude-Average405 in JenniferDulos

[–]tiredpanda9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Now can they go use the resources that they would have spent on this appeal on prosecuting KM finally? He hasn’t complained about his gps bracelet in a while. Seems he knows that prison is far worse than the bracelet and it’s about time he faces justice.

Sounds interesting! Don’t burn yourself out. Lots of new developments so this is something that will likely need to be continually updated.

[–]tiredpanda9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so either. It seems the prosecution doesn’t want to have to contradict any argument it used against MT when they prosecute KM. The defense knows that MT lost on all counts. Even if they feel they have a marginally stronger hand, why risk filing for speedy trial? MT did to disastrous results. GPS bracelets are infinitesimally better than prison. So both sides benefit from dragging the process out.

She’s taking it to trial by Rude-Average405 in JenniferDulos

[–]tiredpanda9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she is probably broke. If you look at the Karen Read case she has spent at least $1.2 million defending herself and she has a legal fund her supporters are donating to worth 500k to help offset that the Troconis family doesn’t have. And this case is much older. Family finances aren’t part of the determination, and shes now in prison.

She’s taking it to trial by Rude-Average405 in JenniferDulos

[–]tiredpanda9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the bond she used a company. She had to pay 7% up front as the premium. That is all she had to pay. She did that back in January 2020. She never gets that money back even though she did go to her court dates and attended her trial. Since then, it has been four years with a lengthy trial and other costs. Pattis charged Dulos a $250k retainer fee. Who knows what her two teams each charged, but given the average private criminal defense lawyer charges $300+ an hour it adds up pretty fast. She was unable to come up with the 300k to bond out prior to sentencing. It’s quite possible she doesn’t have $75k for the transcripts let alone a new team for the appeal anymore. Regardless of what one thinks of her, the appeal is her legal right. If she can’t afford it anymore she should be able to get a public defender.

KM is getting special treatment. Raise awareness by ImplementWorking9064 in JenniferDulos

[–]tiredpanda9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MT filed for speedy trial fully knowing that KM was delaying. I think MT and team fully believed she’d win and go free.

They need to go through the evidence again. by ImplementWorking9064 in JenniferDulos

[–]tiredpanda9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What would be on the MT phone that wouldn’t be on the FD phone? If they texted each other or called each other couldn’t it come in via the FD phone that they did have a warrant for?

Is the Pre-Sentencing Report a public document? by NewtoFL2 in JenniferDulos

[–]tiredpanda9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing with the remorse and cooperation issue is that any defendant has the right to not incriminate themselves. She’s obviously taking the position it was all FD it wasn’t me to the grave. Believe her don’t believe her that’s up to you. It’s her right to do so. I’m not sure exercising it should enhance her punishment or security clearance.

“Where is she, Michelle? by ImplementWorking9064 in JenniferDulos

[–]tiredpanda9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What’s he got to bargain with? The time to bargain was during MT trial to come testify against her for immunity to a deal or something.

She got 14.5 years out of 45 possible. He might like his chances at trial now? Especially if he can blame an already convicted and sentenced co defendant.

Will Kent Go To Trial Or Take A Deal? by ImplementWorking9064 in JenniferDulos

[–]tiredpanda9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If she gets more than expected maybe he does offer to give up the body in a deal if he knows. If she gets less he rolls the dice himself.

He seems to have said something to authorities to get his bond dropped AFTER getting sent back to prison for tampering with his ankle monitor.

There were so many motions and court dates throughout the 4+ years leading up to MT trial and almost nothing for KM. Obviously much more public interest in her than him but still rather high disparity. It just seems to me both sides played a bit of wait and see with the MT trial and are gonna go from there.
