  1. That is about sufficiency on appeal, not about jury instructions in trial. I don’t feel like explaining what that means to you. This is what I do for a living and you aren’t paying me.
  2. You are wrong. Read Saxton for a good discussion of it. https://law.justia.com/cases/texas/court-of-criminal-appeals/1991/1404-89-4.html “The effect of Subsection (d) is to require the state to disprove a defense beyond a reasonable doubt after the issue has been properly raised by the evidence. In other words, the defendant has the burden of producing evidence to raise a defense, but the prosecution has the final burden of persuasion to disprove it."”
  3. I am not an apologist for this kid or his Larper comrades. They are morons imo. I’m just trying to offer accurate legal info when 99% of people misunderstand and misrepresent the law.
  4. Breaking the law doesn’t preclude self-defense. It just affects the ability to consider a possibility to retreat. It means you lose stand your ground law protection if you are breaking the law.
  5. Insanity is a completely different doctrine. You are correct about an affirmative defense but self defense is not a true affirmative defense in that respect. It is in black and white in the penal code.
  6. Well I’m board certified in criminal law in Texas, I have tried a dozen or so murders, and it is correct. It is also correct in Wisconsin. I checked.
  7. The state has the burden of proof. The defendant doesn’t have to prove self-defense. It just has to be raised. The prosecution has to prove it wasn’t self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt. That is always the tall hill.

  10. I’m about 4 years into a 30 year mortgage at 3.625 right now. Have about $250k outstanding principal. House value about $525k. Plan to stay in house for at least the next 15 years. Very good credit. 1) should I refi? I assume yes. 2) what rates could I get on a 15 year fixed? Closing costs? Any brokers feel free to PM me. I’m in Houston.

  15. Car buying is a whole different topic. Theoretically, if your investments yield better interest than the car loan than it makes sense to take the loan. Practically, 1) they will just make their money on the price rather than the interest if offering no or low interest. A cash buyer will always get a lower negotiated price. 2) Most people who finance cars are not using the piles of cash they didn’t spend to do sharp investing. Of course there are exceptions.
  16. I order less from amazon since I don’t get my shit within a day or two anymore
