  1. It depends on how that evidence is offered and for what purpose. Pretty difficult to answer at this point.
  2. They get on the jury because the State had other jurors that they felt more strongly about using peremptory strikes on.
  3. Sure, but counsel can ask questions that reference that information during selection. Jury selection, other than in death penalty cases generally is a proceeding conducted in open court with a court reporter. It’s part of a public trial, with Open Court provisions and such. Fun fact: In most Texas criminal trials, the State, after receiving the juror information the morning of trial…rushes a copy down to their office so that their investigators can run detailed background checks on everyone. I just now have found creative ways to casually relay that to jury panels during voire dire, just to give them negative feels about the prosecution.
  4. Israel purchases weapons from us, AFAIK.
  5. Yes. Months. Point still remains.
  6. Wait. Do you know why we are even discussing perjury? Hint: it’s because a really connected person with resources was just sent down to do 5 years for the charge.
  7. Golf clap. * would have given bonus points for constant misspelling “judgment”.
  8. Lol. Are you serious? I was taken aback by immamac’s number of 40-50%, but 100%? I’ve represented hundreds of DWI defendants. NOT ONE has ever told me that they decided to drive, knowing that they were impaired, because they couldn’t figure out another way to get home. Not one. Virtually all of them either just chose poorly or, as is often the case, did not realize that they were LEGALLY impaired.
  9. Why is anyone assuming that he was “over the legal limit”? Do y’all not know how DWI’s work?
  10. What % of DWI’s do you think are the result of the offender not being able to find/afford alternative transportation?
  11. In Texas criminal trials, we often file what our judges call “Motions to Exclude disguised as Motions in Limine”.
  12. Link to someone asserting that Trump is always acting in good faith?
  13. Ramy is a talented standup, actor (was in Poor Things) and also writer. In fact, I think he directed the “Honeydew” episode of The Bear, Season 2.
  14. Yeah. A pure question of law with no facts in dispute will usually work like that.
