Oh he's screwed. She's going to sentence him to be ~~hung~~ hanged, drawn, and quartered for trying to kill her lord and savior.

[–] [email protected] 109 points 2 months ago (5 children)

Alternatively... she's so fucking incompetent that he gets off without a sentence because she fucks up procedure that thoroughly.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

Guess time will tell.

[–] cogman 7 points 2 months ago

Assuming he has a competent lawyer. Very possible she sucks and so does his lawyer.

[–] stoly 7 points 2 months ago

This is my bet.

[–] T00l_shed 6 points 2 months ago

I reckon this is what will happen, but it'll be intentionally done

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Probably a more likely scenario.

[–] teft 16 points 2 months ago (5 children)

Hanged. Hung is the past tense for an object being suspended. Hanged is the past tense for when you refer to someone being killed by hanging.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 months ago

People have always said I'm well hanged.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Maybe they did mean hung, drawn and quartered.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Hung

In that case, I'd rather be hanged.

Thank you for doing what I had to work hard to not do.

[–] crozilla 1 points 2 months ago

That description might actually stick in my brain.

His public defender

[–] [email protected] 44 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Can you preside over a case when the target of the crime is a defendant in your court on another case?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago

And when that person appointed her in the first place?

Ethically and impartially, no. But it's going to happen anyway.

[–] FlyingSquid 17 points 2 months ago

It's Florida and a Trump-appointed judge, so yes.

Thank you for putting a name to a face. I’ve seen these gifs forever and never knew who they were.

I highly recommend watching Schitt's Creek. The first couple of episodes are a bit rough, but it quickly settles in to one of the best shows I've ever watched.

[–] meco03211 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Scott's Creek

So close. :)

[–] cowfodder 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I fixed it. Stupid autocorrect!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

It really is. I love the character growth and Moira's vocabulary.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

You're welcome! Do definitely check out Schitt's Creek, it's a brilliantly funny series.

[–] NocturnalMorning 38 points 2 months ago

Yeah, assigned "randomly"

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's so demoralizing that this stupid, corrupt piece of shit is a judge at any level.

[–] chiliedogg 12 points 2 months ago

Want to know the best part?

Federal judges aren't required to be attorneys, so even if she's disbarred she gets to keep her appointment as long as the Republicans refuse to impeach and convict her.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

The human world hasn't been purposefully designed to delight either you or me. It's designed to give someone who wants to oppress other people with power more power to oppress other people.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I'm sure she'll be just as vigorous in granting him every conceivable doubt as she is with Trump.

[–] RagingRobot 13 points 2 months ago

She should throw out the case because it has a prosecutor!

[–] Drunemeton 2 points 2 months ago

Let’s see what his attorney does with her past decision record. Should be very easy to find all sorts of ways to delay or cancel the trial.

[–] eran_morad 19 points 2 months ago

She’s going to execute him herself.

[–] MehBlah 14 points 2 months ago

The fix is in.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Lol. This is going to be interesting!
