Criminal intent is not an element. So let's say "John" wouldn't need to intend to drive while drunk for a DA to prove a DWI/DUI case against him. Courts have consistently held that those offenses contain no element of a guilty mind so the DA isn't required to establish wrongful intent by John...

He can't say it now without causing more problems. Besides, the truck is registered to the corporation and at least initially, the fleet manager handled the matter before sending the claim over to whatever company handles the insurance. A written statement was probably taken by the insurance...

His auto policy would have covered the damages and paid the estate under the bodily injury to others portion of the policy. If he's rich, his lawyers and his insurance agent would have had him increase his bodily injury limits to at least $250,000 per person/$500,000 per accident so that he...

I found a copy of the petition brought by Sergio Molina's mother, Maria Lemus. Sergio is the boy who was paralyzed in the accident. There are now FIVE suits pending against Couch Sr, his wife, his son and his company. Here's Couch's company, Cleburne Sheet Metal. Assistant district...

And two kids were in the bed of the pickup when it went airborne. One kid is a para now and the other one had multiple fractures. So he ended four lives, literally fractured another life, ended any chance for a "normal" life for another and irrevocably changed the lives of the survivors of the...

WORD. lol How about "legal" definition of 'deliberate'? Weighing, pondering, examining, consulting, discussing in order to come to form an opinion Legal Dictionary To harmonize a decision is a bit more aggressive than to discuss. Another legal definition

It's a vicious Catch-22: if she doesn't remain on the stand they may miss her subtleties but if she does remain on the stand, there's the chance someone will get sucked in by whatever funky pheromones she secretes up there, lol. Maybe solitary confinement will have stripped away some of that...

Totally agree with you. If he was such an abuser filled with toxicity, wonder why he just shrugged his shoulders and let the fact that she recklessly destroyed his BMW slide by without one accusatory or angry word? Why would he pay for her move back to Yreka since apparently his sole existence...

Well, I think there's a big difference between "You've denied me my right to basic human privacy" ... "You cry only for yourself" ... "you've lied to me, scammed me" ... "I asked you for proof and you can't be bothered to get off your (bum) and get it" ... (after a recitation of stalking and...

I think she could start on her allocution promise by recycling it.

Divots. That’s what changed my mind about the death penalty. I watched this trial from beginning to end and I missed the divot issue the first go round. I think it was because as all of you, I was on overload or I may have even stopped listening by the time Dr. Horn got to the divots. Or...

If she'd been able to control her rabid foaming at the mouth rage and stopped with one stab wound or one gunshot, then used her fako crying skills on a 9-1-1 call, she would probably be free right now. She can ponder those "what ifs" as she stands on her head in her wonely wittle cell.

Agree. I was also trying to put myself in a juror's shoes and determine how I would view her from what I would have gleaned from all the testimony. If I can later, I will post how my stance on the DP changed during this trial but usually, I would be open to considering something about the...

From the last thread. When I write "you" I mean the generic "you." :D To me, the bold sentence is key. For the life of me, I cannot craft an argument in order to play devil's advocate for this case. I've tried. The bold sentence is why. Yes, she was able to contain her crazy until...

I swear I'm not stalking bettybaby but a couple of things she posted in the other thread resonated with me. :D Agree 100%. I thought the same thing about her feverish little brain spinning around and telling her to say something that means "I could lie right now and say yes but since you all...
