Yep, the Enquirer merely forced their hands.
He obviously doesn’t know the definition of the word “marriage” either. But his friends are working on that.
This came mostly with the advent of of statutory strict liability crimes. For example, if somebody stuck a handgun in your bag and they caught you on an jetliner with it. You are guilty, whether you knew you had it on you or not.
The Edwards case shows that when you have a contentious legislative session, you often get an ambiguous law. That makes a horse race in a prosecution.
I can't say I have a handle on the issues in this case, but if Edwards has the prosecution backed into an argument that "the purpose" means "a purpose," the prosecution is on the run. Just my SWAG.
Well well well............here we go again. I’m amazed that these weasels keep trying to pull this “stuff” on juries. The conceit is an affront to decent people!
Next will come the “Chewbacca Defense.”
‘The’ is the proper general article; ‘a’ or ‘an’ would not be grammatically correct in the context quoted.
That means Edwards is wrong, because ‘the’ is not modified by S’sole’. “sole’ is used when the intent is to limit the referent of ‘the’ to ‘one, and only one’ specific item, case, or circumstance.
GUILTY! We know that; let’s hope the jury does.
The guys a suzzball, but I have to agree, I think this trial is a joke, I haven’t seen anything reported that gave any impression the donors gave the money thinking it was directly for his campain and then misdirected to cover up his affair.
Government certainly hasn’t proven its case to me, at least not with what I have read.
I recently read that even though his popularity rating was 3%, just after all of his child’s true paternity was revealed as well as his mistress, along with his cheating on his dying cancer stricken wife, he confided in a good friend that he still thought he could be appointed to be an AG or SCOTUS.
He just needs to be treated like a defective animal and put down so he can’t breed anymmore.
