Some people only understand Hollywood's version of the justice system.

An older movie called "The Verdict" with Paul Newman is probably the best cinematic demonstration of the system, and it involved a civil case, not a criminal case.

Watch it sometime if you get a chance.

The richest people in the world aren't usually accused of stuff like this.

Unless they are related to the Kennedys. But then they have the advantage of knowing that the media will go to any lengths necessary to drag the victim through the mud.

Found yourself a role model, have you Connect?

Nope. I just understand what he is saying. My personal experience confirms what he is saying.

I can assure you tht if you are ever wrongly accused of a crime, you'd want someone like chris1 representing you.

You think most defense attorneys care about you? if so, you'd be mistaken. they are much more crocerned with getting along with the prosecutor than defending you. You are just one client, and they have lots of other clients. Getting along with a prosecutor makes their life easier.

I suspect chris1 doesn't give a rat's ass about getting along with a prosecutor. As a result, a prosecutor wouldn't likely pull some of the B.S. they do with other defendants.

The Dems run the courts in the western half of the state, just as they do here in CA. It's all part of the academic indoctrination going on across the country. The kid they are teaching that diversity is THE MOST important element in society is tomorrow's district court judge.

Well, that, and the fact that the whole justice system is totally corrupt. I think that's the gist of all of his posts.

For the most part, it is.

Edith Jones, one of the most distinguished judges on the US Circuit Court of Appeals thinks the American Legal System Is Corrupt Beyond Recognition

LOL! Looks like he sounds, alright.

We have a Freeper named "types with fists" or something similar.

Somehow it is easy to get a mental image of Chris1 typing with his face.

You are an innocent bystander Typeswith, please forgive me for bringing you into this.

Which, to some extent, explains why there's so much black-on-black crime.

I just got in, and haven't read this whole thread yet, but has anyone commented on the *kidnapping* charge yet? Where did that come from?

Gregoire is a thief and a liar, imo. She's not covering for them, It's simply the Dem quid pro quo machine in action.

" would assume that someone intoxicated or under the influence would have a hard time putting nail polish on without leaving traces all over the place."

Unless the other woman put it on for her to "pretty her up".

Why would the possibility that they were disappointed the strippers were black be helpful to the prosecution? I see it the other way around.

Excellent question. Could that be when they forced her against her will into the bathroom, to have their way with her? The DA going after Libby made the mistake of gilding the lily with his indictment (instead of just saying perjury three times and calling it a day), and this DA seems to have been of the same school.

No one has commented on the kidnapping charges. The definition of kidnapping in some states might include the prevention of the lawful movement of another individual. I suppose if you are raping someone, that might be included. I suspect that will be the first charge dropped.

A simplistic version -- here in NC when you hold someone against their will it is considered kidnapping, even though, as in this case, the woman went to the house on her own accord. However, she is claiming that the three young men confined her to the bathroom for thirty minutes against her will.

She will eventually be going to prison if it is the last thing I do.
