Why do they have them in the US where they allow photographers in court? :huh:

They usually don't allow them in federal court.

That vein on Trump's lawyer's head seems a bit worrying.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

That seems like a weird place for a plaster leg.

Yeah picking out the raised vein on the forehead, whilst ignoring the 'fact' he's carrying a dismembered mannequin in his backpack, seems an odd choice on Joq's part.  :D

So that's where Berkut went.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

Even though he was not charged for that federal law violation? That seems odd to me.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

My understanding (and we don't have court artists in Canada as far as I know)

what you mean, Beeb? I see court art all the time.

Quote"A person is guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree when he commits the crime of falsifying business records in the second degree, and when his intent to defraud includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof" (id.). The jury could therefore convict defendant of falsifying business records if the jury concluded that defendant had the intent to commit or conceal another crime, even if he was not convicted of the other crime.

People v. McCumiskey, 12 A.D.3d 1145 (2004)

The way the law is written, the person charged with making the false entry can be convicted on the felony charge even if the intent is to conceal a crime that someone else committed.  There is a case from over 100 years ago that confirmed this - People v. Curtiss, 118 AD 259 (1st Dept. 1907).  Thus there is no need to charge the defendant with the criminal predicate act.

I'm honestly baffled by his continuing appeal. There really seems to be a hard floor of his fan base which will ensure his nomination in '24.

Excerpt from Trump's deposition, asked about the "Access Hollywood" tape ('grab'em by the pussy'):

Damages totalling $5m awarded against Trump for sexual assault and defamation (but not rape).
