In terms of penalty or punishment, I think any additional sentencing will be a drop in the bucket, given that they're all facing life in prison, with only one with viability of parole in 30 years.

The hate crime in this case is federal, whereas the actual murder was charged state-level. I'd need someone more versed in criminal law than me to determine what's the actual difference besides the public statement being made of recognizing this as a hate crime.

Given the convictions and sentences imposed at the state level, there's not much of a practical effect other than the "it's about sending a message" effect. The feds may also take custody rather than Georgia, but I don't have the life/professional experience to give much insight as to whether one system is cushier than the other (although federal is better funded, for whatever that's worth).

That's not how not guilty verdicts work.

Don't besmirch the Three Stooges like this. This comparison to those Republican dumbasses is unjustifiably insulting.

That whole fucking "debate" (not enough air quotes in the world for that).

It's a bad indictment on the justice system that actually getting this case to trial was as difficult as it was.

I'm genuinely surprised that Carmack hasn't come up with some revolutionary ray tracing coding shenanigans in his spare time.

/Insert obligatory omnipotent John Carmack joke

The fucking bass is fucking RAW.

what happened with the whole email thing?

A determination that the acts were without the necessary mens rea under the statute.

If you commit a felony and someone gets shot in response by accident, they get charged with murder too, right? Maybe the CE legal experts can weigh in on that.

Probably.

Texas's murder statute reads:

Sec. 19.02. MURDER. (a) In this section:
(1) "Adequate cause" means cause that would commonly produce a degree of anger, rage, resentment, or terror in a person of ordinary temper, sufficient to render the mind incapable of cool reflection.
(2) "Sudden passion" means passion directly caused by and arising out of provocation by the individual killed or another acting with the person killed which passion arises at the time of the offense and is not solely the result of former provocation.
(b) A person commits an offense if he:
(1) intentionally or knowingly causes the death of an individual;
(2) intends to cause serious bodily injury and commits an act clearly dangerous to human life that causes the death of an individual; or
(3) commits or attempts to commit a felony, other than manslaughter, and in the course of and in furtherance of the commission or attempt, or in immediate flight from the commission or attempt, he commits or attempts to commit an act clearly dangerous to human life that causes the death of an individual.
(c) Except as provided by Subsection (d), an offense under this section is a felony of the first degree.
(d) At the punishment stage of a trial, the defendant may raise the issue as to whether he caused the death under the immediate influence of sudden passion arising from an adequate cause. If the defendant proves the issue in the affirmative by a preponderance of the evidence, the offense is a felony of the second degree.

Pretty green eyes. Also I wish I could be this content.

Always surprises me how long Walter is. I know cats are deceptively long (since the vast majority of their poses involve coiling/compacting), but Savannahs be big yo.

The time spent putting a macro like that together could have been used to look up one of the many "How to tank" guides on the interwebs.

Yeah I wouldn't recommend it at all unless you're planning on doing raids as soon as possible. I've basically only ever heard good things about siren for what it's worth.

I'm on Siren. Even for someone like me who never really got involved with others, I thought it was pretty cozy.

She'll also bat your hand away with her paw if you try to take a piece out of the box she's sitting in. Those are her pieces, dammit

Everything under her butt is her kingdom.

I will provide pictures of Work Cat next time he wanders by. Haven't seen him in a week, but I think he's fine since he comes and goes as he pleases.
