That’s a good point too.
Then don’t. I couldn’t care less. And if you wish to think I just made stuff up, have at it.
You’re welcome to your own reality. From your perspective, it may make perfect sense. From my perspective it seems otherwise.
“Then don’t. I couldn’t care less. And if you wish to think I just made stuff up, have at it.”
You have already admitted that you posted what I had not said. Since you posted it as my position, you must have made it up.
I explained to you what your acquiescence conveyed to me. Evidently you don’t have the tools to grasp that concept. I am comfortable with that. I didn’t make it up. It’s okay with me if you wish to comfort yourself with the idea I did.
“I explained to you what your acquiescence conveyed to me.”
How is atatement of facts ‘acquiescence’? From my statement of facts you made a false insinuation and didn’t have the courtesy of even posting my words in your post. You admitted that I ‘conveyed’ it to you. IN YOUR DREAMS!
Apparently you have convicted me on my silence. How ironic ...
TexasGator, I told you what it looked like to me. You said that was not your opinion and I accepted it.
Did you want me to write a letter to the editor in your local home town paper? Did I hurt your feelings this much, because it looked like to me that you wanted silence prior to miranda to be used as a contributing to guilt?
You’ve set the record straight. I don’t object to you doing so. I didn’t mean to misconstrue your opinion, but it did look to me that you were in favor of it.
At this point it looks like a kid who just lost his last marble and is crying his eyes out. When the other kids give them all back, he’s still not happy.
Grow up.
Awww, isn’t that cute.
Why is everything so personal with you? Can’t you just discuss the issues without stooping to personal attacks?
“Awww, isn’t that cute.”
Thought you would like it...
Now you don’t like me telling you what you’re acting like from my perspective.
You know, you’re really not in the right place if you think you should be able to write both ends of the conversation.
I will give you props for trying to, but alas it wasn’t going to go unnoticed.
“Now you don’t like me telling you what you’re acting like from my perspective.”
I don’t like you making things up. Thank you.
“Now you don’t like me telling you what you’re acting like from my perspective.”
This from the dude that ADMITTED he assumed my position because I made no statement on my position.
Well actually I do like it. You have expressed the perception that someone not talking at a crime scene, is the same as a person copying a thought and discussing it without objecting.
The fifth amendment was never intended to be a protection against having your own out of court statements brought up in court. It was the Earl Warren Court that made it mandatory that before you confess you have to be advised of your right to keep your mouth shut. That was a really stupid decision and was way out of line with the intent of the founders.
What is the difference between the police being able to question you and use your answers (or non-answers) as evidence in trial and being required to testify directly at trial, if you do not have the right to not answer their questions?
If you can be compelled to provide out-of-court statements that are used as evidence, then you are being compelled to testify against yourself.
All that being said, I think this particular ruling will turn out to be problematic for the assumption of innocence soon.
Well then you have nothing not to like.
Thanks for playing.
Yawn. Haven’t we been here before?
This tactic didn’t work last time, and yet here you are again.
Good luck with that.
“What good is a Miranda protection if his silence prior to being advised of it can be used as evidence of guilt?”
Do you think that a person that is drunk and plows into a car at a high rate of speed should walk because the prosecution noted in his trial that he was silent prior to having his rights read?
“You have expressed the perception that someone not talking at a crime scene, is the same as a person copying a thought and discussing it without objecting.”
Again, you did not post what I said and you have made a false representation of what I said.
When you have to tools to grasp what I’ve written, get back to me.
Thanks in advance.
