Legal question for you non-lawyers

[Malthus]

Wow, Viking a douchebag, film at 11pm.

How am I being a douchbag?

Not knowing is the biggest sign

That would make everybody a douchbag, both those who think they are and those who think they are not.

I post on Languish. This is an objective sign.

if only he could find jesus he'd be a better person

I found Jesus, but I don't know what a Chilean Restraunteur has to do with me being or not being a douchbag.

I was expecting a Big Liebowski reference.

I don't get the "The Big Lebowski" love out there. I think it's an ok movie, thats it.

Who brings a juice box and coke can to a robbery?

Who brings a juice box and coke can to a robbery?

The same people who bring a truck:  people who are going to be there a while.

Besides, very few thieves have been regarded as smart.

Well, the juice box was from the fridge there.

Hey Beeb, what are the storage procedures so that the DNA on the coke can is preserved?  Just a ziplock, or do you need some kind of refrigeration?

I'd have to ask the lab tech myself, but I don't think they actually preserve the actual DNA or the coke can.  They work up the DNA itself, get the results, and those results sit on the file.  Remember this isn't a full DNA sequences - they just work up several thousand markers which are enough to create a unique match.

If they do preserve the DNA, it's in the form of a cotton swab - not the coke can.  No idea if they need a fridge.

Let us know how it goes (within whatever limits are appropriate, of course).

I don't know what the police use, but DNA can last for years without any special preservation efforts, with the biggest risk it being contaminated with other sources of DNA and its own slow natural degradation.  I think preservation such as refrigeration can make it last significantly longer.

In Canada though we don't have sentencing guidelines, and B&E dwelling house can attract a huge range of sentences, so I think I just take the inevitable uncertainty into account on sentence.

What would you offer in this case if you thought there was no way you could lose at trial?  Conversely, what would you offer if you thought your evidence/witnesses were just strong enough to even pursue the charge?

Gotcha, missed that.

[Razgovory]

Well, good luck convicting BB.

[Barrister]

Let us know how it goes (within whatever limits are appropriate, of course).

If there is a final disposition it becomes public record, so I can be much less circumspect.

Right now of course I am careful to not reveal any information that might tend to identify the accused.

[Razgovory]

Just out of curiosity, do you think he did it?
