Liberals have way too much faith in the moral courage of a Republican Congress. They'd bend over backwards to concoct justifications for Trump if he fired Mueller.

His ideological commitment to many of the tenets of conservatism is nonexistent. His recent call to ban transgenders from military service isn't about Trump's prejudice towards transgender people. It's about demonstrating ideological purity to hardline right wing loonies who give a shit about that stuff in order to win their votes for his stupid wall. If there were a world where Democrats both ran Congress and weren't fervently impeaching him, Trump would probably go along with Democrats on stuff that he thought would make him look good.

For my case, they asked if you would favor the opinion of a cop/expert over other people. People who said stuff like, "I would automatically trust a cop more than a citizen," tended to get off.

Brute Force had the unfortunate issue of being made before Xbox Live took off. I remember eagerly anticipating its release and enjoying the shit out of it. Back before competitive online multi-player and linear action setpiece based campaigns became the bread and butter of console shooters, there was a ton of emphasis placed on AI. Brute Force especially benefited from that. Its entire single player campaign was built around streamlined squad based combat that demanded the AI actually pull its weight, and it largely did. I genuinely consider it a forgotten gem of the original Xbox catalog.

Halo died because COD. People grew to like loadouts, upgrades, and quick death more than Halo's slow purist arena shooting.

What were the details of the case? Did he go to prison?

Defendant was a drug dealer who killed a customer because the customer didn't have $30 to pay for crack he bought. I didn't hang around, but we determined he was guilty of first degree murder, so I assume he will go to prison for a long time.

Does the jury have any say in how short/long the sentences are?

Nope
The Admiral posted...
What was the main evidence that he was guilty? Witnesses that saw him commit the murder?

The two eyewitnesses that went with him to pick up the drug money. They positively ID'd him. A third guy, the victim's roommate/fellow crackhead, also ID'd the defendant with 60-70% certainty, which by itself means jackshit, but matters in context of the other two witnesses.
sabin017 posted...
Were any of the jurors holdups to a unanimous decision?

It took like half an hour to unanimously find him guilty with 1 holdout and a few people who were very weak in their commitment to his guilt, but we really did hem and haw about whether it was first or second degree.

Seems pretty open and shut?

Mostly, 1st or 2nd degree was something the jury mulled over a lot, but premeditation has a low bar to argue.
lilORANG posted...
What was the defense's position? why did they think there was reasonable doubt?

The prosecution was built largely around the testimony of the two runners, who were quite bad as witnesses in a lot respects. They contradicted their depositions, made inconsistent statements in the years since the murder, had criminal histories, and didn't do well when grilled by the defense. If all we had to go on was their testimony, this guy would be free.

Did you have to look at any graphic pics of the crime scene/body?

Yeah. If you've been on 4chan, you will have seen worse. It was a guy with a small bullet hole over his eye and some blood.

Additional deets: We didn't have an actual gun found, but a picture of a gun matching the description given by his two runners were found on the killer's phone. Killer made a bunch of calls from jail that sounded incredibly guilty. "I got dudes snitchin on me," etc..

What was the outcome

Defendant was guilty of first degree murder.
Doe posted...
Give us a rundown.

Defendant sent two teenage runners to go deliver crack to a guy and get $30 from him in exchange. He didn't have the money, so the runners go to the dealer, who comes back with his runners to get his money. He shot the customer in the head after an argument where the customer says, "If you're gonna kill me, kill me."

Carter was the most consistently anti-imperialist president of the 20th century and appointed Paul Volcker, who was the architect of the monetary policy that allowed the Reagan era economic boom. It is hard to know exactly what is ultimately a President's fault, but in two areas I value highly, Carter was fantastic.

I supported the removal of Terri Schiavo's feeding tube, but this is completely different. This is an infant who's totally reliant on its parents. Terry Schiavo was a married adult. Her parents' whims don't hold the same weight as the parents in this scenario. If they want to put themselves into bankruptcy on the off chance they can save their baby's life, that's their right.

We won for the past 8 years. What do you expect? The political pendulum swung to the right, and then it will swing back to the left, and then back to the right. That's the way it goes and that's the way it will always go, unless the two-party system changes.

The Democrats won the presidency on the back of the Michael Jordan of presidential candidates in 08 and 12, and lost power everywhere else. Obama and a few positive SCOTUS rulings made the party appear much more successful than it actually was. The party's a shit show and will in all likelihood fail to make significant gains in efforts to curb Trumpism.
