I guess you had to be there.
It did not sound like the case fell apart to me.
But they could be reasonable doubt. That is the standard.
I’m not a big fan of the author’s flippant writing style, but hey, IBTG.
I just realized that Gotro is probably an Americanization of a French name.
I have the barest familiarity with this trial. This article does not make its point or convey the details needed to appreciate the writer’s viewpoint as to the Defense’s achievements.
I also find the style off putting. That said it seems difficult to find some honest reporting on these “biker” trials so I wind up reading three or four sources and try to translate what is really going on. I imagine that the jury is spinning about now.
“Before the pack of Bandidos, led by Carrizal, arrived at the Twin Peaks, one Cossack sent out a text message with a picture of a bear trap and the message “trap being set.” “
I thought this was just a peaceful meeting of biker enthusiasts to discuss legislation?
Bear trap, indeed. They were set up by the LEOs.
Please, someone, put that slimeball Swanson on the stand so she can rip him about six new ones.
“Bear trap, indeed. They were set up by the LEOs.”
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hear that.
Speaking of styles that can be off putting (other than my own, of course, ain't nobody got time for talking' too much 'bout 'dat) and a somewhat differing, less Bandido-centric take on things, to borrow from Radio Legendary, a biker radio/writer kind of guy (who's obviously enough rather smitten with the petite presence of attorney Gotro), from the last half or so of a last week, published last Saturday column,
spelling error typo's included, beginning here in excerpt speaking of one of the "expert" biker witnesses, ATF Agent Darrin Kozlowski;
"...There are published reports in the crime blog press that allow his involvement in murderous gang fights very much resembling the Twin Peaks operation, as well as the placement of embezzlers in businesses and organizations targeted by the Government for investigations.When asked if he’d ever committed any illegal acts at the behest of club leaders, he quickly said he had not. It occurs to me that we are witnessing a show trial in which government-trained experts are able to engage in what Orwell described as doublethink and Islamic operatives see as their duty to Allah to lie to the infidels and believe the lie while they’re telling it.
Kozlowski and two other gang experts continue to sit in the courtroom despite defense counsel’s invocation of the witness exclusionary rule. State prosecutors successfully argued for an exemption from the rule because their testimony is to consist of opinion based upon experience only.
The court drama came to a quick and abortive conclusion on Friday about lunch time when Pearson mentioned a phone text message from Bandido Marshall Mitchell in which he allegedly described his withdrawal of the privilege previously extended to Cossacks Motorcycle Club members to wear the Texas bottom rocker on their cuts.
At that point, Ms. Gotro informed the Court that it is not anything that she has been able to obtain from her discovery items the Judge ordered the Waco police to release.
Angry, his face reddened, Judge Matt Johnson said, “Well, now, I signed an order for the Waco police to turn over those records!” She explained that due to time constraints and strict security protocol imposed by the evidence techs at the department, she has been unable to get access to the material.
In some cases, she has been ushered into a computer room, given a CD of the material, and a comptuer with no speakers. In others, she has been shooed out of the area and sent to the lobby whenever there is no one available to surveil her whilst in her labors.
He abruptly recessed the jurors, and then terminated a hearing about the matter, telling everyone to return on Monday, October 16, at 9 am.
A couple of years ago I'd given Elderberry a hard time over posting from this particular source, but here I am, doing what I'd tore into the picked-upon, honorable Elder Berry over having himself done. He may have even predicted that I would, iirc. My apologies to him, and thanks also to Legendary (whom I've been borrowing from) for himself taking the time to attend the trial, and waxing forth 'So Mote It Be' concerning the proceedings.
I think I'd included 'mad_as_he$$' (and Elderberry, of course) in previous ping to another thread, updating Tommy Witherspoon's from-the- courthouse Tweets, fwiw. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3593982/posts?page=72#72 with the next comment #73 there being continuation.
One strange thing I encountered while copying the Tweets was there would be a small window-like thing pop up whenever I scrolled over the "minutes ago" portion of the Tweets. In that small pop up window there was a time signature that was about two hours earlier than the time indicated, when that time was referenced against Central Time Zone actual time.
Witherspoon, after the last break in the trial, is back to live Tweeting, https://twitter.com/TSpoonFeed 49 minutes ago as of this writing...
Well, she’s not guilty if no one else is.
This next tune goes out to Radio Legendary (though he's likely presently in audience within the courtroom) and our local designated hitter too (although I'll not ping him to this) who's arguably a bit perennially feverish for them who are as we say around here --not guilty--. I can certainly relate to that.
The time discrepancies on the early tweets, was due to the fact that I had just joined twitter and was not aware that I had to change times zones from the default, which I later corrected.
But yesterday, and today I went to Witherspoon's Twitter feed through gateways other than a link you'd supplied, and the time-zone discrepancy was still there, buried within the Twitter feed.
I don't think it's your fault, but more like Witherspoon didn't change the defaults on his end of things either?
I just went and checked, and Witherspoon's feed is apparently running on Pacific Time.
Mystery solved.
What I don't get (but am not kicking about) is how can Witherspoon be Tweeting from within a courtroom - if cellphones and tablets had been prohibited?
Make sure that your twitter profile has the correct timezone.
I don't have a Twitter profile, at all.
Maybe the feeds are normally routed through Pacific Time Zone servers, and without a Twitter profile that time zone is the default? Just guessing.
“thanks also to Legendary “
Thanks to Legendary for putting out fake news!
How would you know, Princess? It's not as if you were there. He was. But you were not.
Is there anything specific about what the man shared regarding what he personally witnessed (Judge Johnson "turning red" at one point, etc.) you'd care to point out was "fake news"?
You cannot and so you will not. In other words, you're talking out the wrong vent. I can smell it from here...
Next time you're in a Pharmacy, ask them if they have breath mints in suppository form.
Apply directly to forehead to both your "ends". Take two dozen bottles of aspirin, and don't call me...again.
“How would you know, Princess? It’s not as if you were there. He was. But you were not. “
No. But a slew of reporters were there and reported on the testimony.
Get your head out of the sand.
