  1. The law does not care if you are wrong about her age, and she lies about it or you’re mistaken, but if I was on a jury and some guy was on trial for statutory rape and the state law was 18 - but the chick was 17 and looked 25 and was hot as hell and in some bar pretending to be older than she was with a fake ID, I would not give two shits about finding him not guilty. if some asshole online was Catfishing underage girls to have sex with them, I would throw them in jail forever. There is an entirely different moral issue at play. An adult intentionally having sex with someone they know is underage is a different deal. When I was 21 my parents were friends with a couple who had a 16-year-old daughter. Everyone was drinking at Christmas and she apparently snuck some drinks as well. She came up to me and told me that the high school boys she saw came too soon, but she heard that older guy could last longer so we should have sex. It was not a difficult decision not to hit that. Unlike the other girl, I knew that she was under age. In the year of our Lord 2024, there are underage girls who look five years older than chicks that same age when I was in high school. If they have fake ID and go to a bar to pass as college students, I am not going to convict somebody they hook up with because of a date on a birth certificate. Opinions vary.
  2. interesting knowledge set. All I know is she looked old enough to be in college, and old enough to be on a riverboat ordering drinks when she said she went to Xavier. ( I was guessing 16 later because she said originally she was a junior. The next blurry-eyed morning I discovered there was more than one Xavier, so our first date was our last date) Thank God, there were no cell phones back then. I was working 7/12s and never ran into her again. You will be relieved to know the statute of limitations has long passed. My small point was supposed to be you could have success with younger women or older women as long as you were swinging the bat.
  3. it is not milking it. They continue to collect gag order violations and submit them. The judge does not want the jurors or his staff attacked by Trump cretins. The judge wants to have enough hard, empirical evidence that he won’t be reversed and give Trump a win. and the judge is probably overthinking it, but since Trump wants to be held in contempt, the judge is trying to figure out the best way to handle it so it’s not in Trump’s benefit. As has been said numerous times, contempt sanctions are usually incremental. so let the judge do what is best for the safety of the jurors and the staff, and for the legitimacy of the verdict when it comes, and for the judges reputation by having whatever hammer may come be a sanction that sticks. All of those things may not lead to immediate justice. But immediate justice needs finessing when the person you want to sanction wants you to sanction him. I have been impressed with this judge and the way he has handled his courtroom do far, and I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now.
  4. that is really a perplexing situation. Nobody has ever mistaken me for Brad Pitt. I’ve only met Surly peeps Immamac and Bolverk IRL. They will sign affidavits that I’m not a head turner. I did not date a lot in high school but U of Florida being such a large school there was plenty of opportunity to be shut down that was more acceptable in such a large pond. And there were enough women there a few of them with bad judgment were totally OK dating me. After I graduated and started earning some coin, the 80s were fantastic. I remember one week I slept with a 16-year-old and a 39-year-old (I knew of Xavier college - but there was also a Xavier prep school. I met the 16 yo her on the riverboat President where X had a concert. The young lady was apparently a Billy zoom fan.) The 39-year-old was a recently divorced insurance adjuster, and she picked my 26-year-old self up at a bar during Mardi Gras. That was my first experience with semi-encapsulated breast implants, but I powered through it The simple point is, if you keep swinging your bat, you will eventually get a hit. All of these guys quit stepping up to the plate. Thinking back, I blame me marrying the ex-wife on the fact that she spent the night - and when I woke up the next morning - I found her earring under my pillow and handed it back to her. Oops. Turns out it was not her earring. I then told her “I tried to get a Mormon girl up to my bed and she was shaking her head vigorously so it must’ve fallen off. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. “ I believe it was that moment that my ex-wife decided she would go after me full-time because then it became her versus the competition. tldr: even an ugly Mook like me can get laid if you just put some minor effort into it, shower and cut your toenails occasionally, try not to look like a Pacific Northwest grunge band member from the 90s when you dress, and have something to talk about with your date. And by that I mean, let your date do most of the talking, and you nod and pretend to look fascinated (until you become fascinated). That’s about all you need.
  5. it is sort of astonishing. All of us in the legal community know we work at your pleasure and on your timeline. I will tell those who need to know to make sure the judge only gets a half scoop of gruel tonight.
  6. And it is up to $41 today. So thanks for selling at $26.
  7. Justice Thomas is weird that way.
  8. it was taken under advisement… specifically to piss you off
  9. It is somewhat rare, but I was involved in one trial when the defendant knew that the jury was going to find against them, so they spent their entire case making points for an appellate court challenge on the legal elements down the road - and NOT for jury consideration. They did not care if the jury got what they were saying. That may be the case here.
  10. I believe they call it a dissent?
