  1. I’ve bet the under every week from OU on, except the over vs. TCU (57), and taking 21 vs Kansas, hitting 100%, operating under the assumption that Texas is terrible. I’m taking the under. It’s free money.
  2. The fins wings are amazing. If they have the royal red shrimp app get that, i could make a meal out of those. And the crispy pork belly. And as said above the scalibut is an excellent choice. Or the black drum with chicken crackling crust. Also the pompano is legit.
  3. GW Fins, R'evolution, Doris Metropolitan, Irene's
  4. https://files.deathpenaltyinfo.org/documents/pdf/FactSheet.f1573740480.pdf 9 executions for every exoneration, roughly His time of death testimony was bullshit, and that was the scientific evidence the jury relied on along with the note and Ken Anderson’s completely made up trial theory Thanks for taking the time. My buddies and I have a saying when we are rolling into court prepared to give the state a beating on a good case....we call it “channeling our inner Lisa Tanner.” Because when you see her command a courtroom, you better hope you aren’t the defendant. Or the defense attorney, because she is damn good. https://files.deathpenaltyinfo.org/documents/pdf/FactSheet.f1573740480.pdf Yes, I agree. I wasn’t up to speed on the priors, and the media coverage makes it sound like he was definitely wrongfully convicted. I question now whether he was. And I don’t like him being used as the DP poster boy. If he claims it was a consensual relationship, all the other assaults come in evidence to disprove his trial theory. For some of you lay folks who do not understand criminal law, typically prior bad acts are not admissible to show that the person committed the offense on the occasion in question. However if the defendant takes a position that there was a lack of intent, or there was a mistake, prior similar incidents can be offered to rebut that theory. Imagine in a sexual assault of a child case, if the defendant was saying touching that girl where I did was just an accident, I didn’t do that intentionally. And then there was 10 other little girls that said he says he accidentally touched me there too. Or put his character in issue by offering evidence that he would never do something like that, and there are many others no claim he did. Or to rebut the defendant’s trial theory that the complainant fabricated the allegation
  5. I misunderstood your question. Or maybe it depends on the facts. Right then and there, and it was actually defending her, then no problem. If it was some kid, and I pulled the kid off her and stomped his head in after the assault was over? Well that might be a different story.
  6. Yes I would be guilty of murder, and my attorney would prove by a preponderance of the evidence that I acted in sudden passion due to an adequate cause, thereby reducing the punishment from a first degree murder 5-99 to a second degree murder 2-20, then put on character evidence for what an outstanding citizen I am, getting me the minimum 2 years to do as murder convictions are not probation eligible, assuming we are in Texas. Agreed. 110 percent. Look, chances are high Reed is a shitbag that needs a softpoint to the dome, but the Stites murder charge needs to be evaluated on its merits. And the other (still unadjudicated) cases on their own. Let the chips fall where they may in a court of law. But if we are going to impose capital punishment, the defendant deserves a fair trial with every procedural safeguard the system can provide. Right now the system has a history of doing a piss poor job, and the Reed case has some fucked up evidence in it (Thanks to Dr. Bayardo, same M.E as Michael Morton case). For every NINE persons executed since the DP was reinstated, ONE has been completely exonerated. Actual 1508 to 166 as of today. NINE TO ONE. Think about that. The justice system has to be better than that
  7. Anyone have some current POC tips for me, I'm heading down soon. I fished there for 15 years but haven't been back in 6 years. I know the area well, it's just been a long time. Thanks in advance
  8. Todd’s Orlando....the guy who makes the over easy money
  9. The Over under is 58 isn’t the over free money?
  10. It’s a perk in my line of work. i don’t get to chose which one, but the price is right.
  11. Pretty good week this week was. Got these 2 for free.
  12. We played like shit and were within 7 points of the best teams in CFB Our entire back end of the D is injured. LBs are injured. Our best lineman missed half of each of the last two games. What remains of the entire defense is inexperienced. Football is a man's game and we have a bunch of boys trying to play it. Y'all knew it was going to be a rough D with no injuries. We were beset with catastrophic injuries. What concerns me more is the offense. There is talent on the line. There is talent at RB. There is more than enough talent at WR and QB. What the fuck are we doing out there?
  13. Well I hopped on surly about an hour ago to hit the gun owners thread and post about my new sig 226 but after reading the recruiting thread and the football board while watching the 7th inning, I think I’ll skip the gun owners thread and just stick the sig in my mouth
  14. Tuesday was the last day for the Chase's 80K point SWA offer On Wednesday, SWA moved the finish line out further for 125K for a companion pass.
  15. Speed, vision, visibility, perception, attention or lack thereof, reaction time and stopping distance are common factors in auto / motorcycle accidents
  16. An alcohol concentration of 0.02 is about one beer “THC” in his system means nothing, unless it is the active form of it, which means recent use. And even when the active form of it is detected, quantifying impairment is at best an educated guess. ========= former University of Texas football star Cedric Benson had a blood alcohol level of 0.02 and tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, in his system at the time of a crash that killed him and his motorcycle passenger in August, according to an autopsy and toxicology report released by the Travis County Medical Examiners office Wednesday. The legal blood alcohol limit while driving in Texas is 0.08. THC is the intoxicating agent in marijuana and other cannabinoid products. Experts interviewed by the American-Statesman said that it is difficult to determine from the autopsy when THC entered Benson’s system and whether it played a role in the crash. Benson, 36, was killed in a fiery crash in August on RM 2222 near Mount Bonnell Road after colliding with a van. He was traveling east at a high rate of speed when authorities said the van entered 2222 after checking for oncoming traffic. His passenger, Aamna Najam, 27, of Houston also was killed. She had a doctorate in audiology from UT. Austin police have said that they are still investigating the crash and that the result of the autopsy would be a critical piece of evidence. The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission also has said that it is possible that they would open a full investigation based on the results of the autopsy into whether Benson may have been served alcohol. Benson had posted a picture on Instagram that night of his motorcycle and captioned it “My Saturday evening.”
  17. Respectfully sir, you know nothing about vision and perception, or adaptation, as it relates to human beings Start here: http://www.visualexpert.com/Resources/nightvision.html also I watch more police body cams in one day than you have seen in your life
  18. I said from a defense perspective i think this cop clearly fucked up, but I’m not inclined to join the knee jerks here without considering all the facts. I’m just pointing out things that I think went to the cop’s state of mind at the time ...and what you might see argued in court
