How does somebody go about getting a job as a moderator on Websleuths ?
Do you fill out an application ? Is it something offered to longtime users by the current staff ?
Do you go to moderator school ?
I've always been curious about that, but I've never seen anybody talk about it.
They bully you into it if you're too active. Just say no is my policy.![]()
Looking forward to your post (even tho I'm not Frigga)
Another question to add to Frigga's...do you think that JSS will give LWOP?

Hi Paintr, thanks.
You know, JSS is a bit of a conundrum to me. I have absolutely no doubt that something happened between the last trial and the retrial with JSS but what that is, is anyone's guess. However, I am convinced more than ever after watching the absolute mockery (in retrial) that was made of what is supposed to be a cross examination of DT witnesses by the prosecution to FIND THE TRUTH.
I do not have to be a lawyer (hell even the deaf, dumb and blind could see what was happening in that courtroom every time Juan cross examined the witnesses) to understand that there was nothing fair, impartial or just about the way the Judge, who at best was negligent in her duties or at worst was culpable in what was clearly happening. And it is absolutely indisputable that it was the Judge who, both directly and directly, allowed the DT's witnesses to create an atmosphere of out of control disrespect and chaos--I felt for what the jurors must have gone through, and wondered if they were left with bad taste in their mouths about the criminal justice system processes .
Anyway, I now have some reservations as a result of what I witnessed in the retrial, but I do believe she will give Travis' murderer LWOP. On the other hand, I wouldn't be shocked if she didn't.
I think hat JSS at worst was over cautious about protecting JA's rights and because of that JA will have a harder time coming up with appeals issues.
In the end I think JSS will be the reason that JA gets LWOP and stays there forever .
I just tried Quinn_Michaels twitter and found:

Azl with the direct appeal I'm assuming she'll still have an appellate attorney assigned for her indigent status but for rule 32 she'll be responsible even with the indigent status am i reading that right
In terms of whether she was fair, I agree with you. But her unconstitutional levels of secrecy, apparent indifference to disrespectful and unprofessional behavior in her courtroom, and inability to keep to a schedule are different matters.

Yes. Assuming she's not hiding any $$$ that affects her indigent status.
