Having lived in Irvine for most my life, I see more and more of those types of people lately. The type of people who literally start berating officers for giving them a speeding ticket and calling the cops on you because your plants were slightly drooping over the fence line. I'm pretty sure my neighbors have opened my backyard and let my dog run out to the street a couple times...

Also, Irvine police literally have nothing better to do than hand out traffic tickets to kids for not wearing their helmets and respond to "disturbance" calls. My last day of middle school way back when, a kid called in a bomb threat and the entire force was essentially brought out, including their never used swat team. Closed down the school for the entire day.

Everyone I've ever talked to on their force have been pretty friendly for the poo poo they have to put up with though.

This was a while back but yea I got a lock after a while. I would forget to lock it up a couple times though simply because it's a huge hassle.

The main point was why the hell are they opening my backyard fence. It's not even just a chain link fence or anything, they were 6 feet all wood with no gaps in between fences. That means they had to actively wait for a time I wasn't home, climb on top to make sure I wasn't there, and then open it up so my dog would run away? Those people were nuts man.

Oh man, for me it was the double serving of the old scooty fruity where, not only are they smug as gently caress lawyers thinking they got away with a perfect crime, they hired equally smug defense attorneys who didn't even go through all the evidence thinking this poo poo was open and shut because their clients are wealthy lawyers... Until the prosecutor pulled out the phone data pings in his final argument after the defense rested. That was the good stuff right there.

How is it okay to pull out more evidence and not let the defense offer a defense against it? That seems kind of unfair.

Also how insane is that chick if she's trying to get her husband to kill himself for the insurance payout? And what's the over/under that he divorced her in part because he was afraid of being found with two bullets in his head and a suicide note written in the third person?

Yeah, just because the prosecutor had overlooked it before and decided to bring it up in his closing is not introducing new evidence. The defense had the whole trial to address it and chose not to.

The article posted:

Because he had already finished his closing argument, it was too late for Bienert to try to convince jurors this was junk science. After the jury left the room, he railed against the prosecutor. He said he had been sandbagged.

Duff replied that Easter’s team had had the phone records for years.

Either the defense had not looked at the records, Duff said, “or was hoping that I didn’t look at the records.”

Judge Thomas Goethals saw no reason Duff couldn’t save a good argument for the end.

“It seems to me Mr. Duff made a strategic decision,” he said.


Hope this helps.

The Great Twist

Sestze posted:

Probably late, but the LA Times has been doing a writeup of an incident that occurred back in 2011 that's just wrapping up now

http://www.latimes.com/projects/la-me-framed/

The gist is somewhat simple: The head of an elementary school PTA has drugs planted in her car by a pair of high powered lawyers. The resulting clusterfuck sees both lawyers convicted and disbarred.

The final part of it comes out on Sunday, which I'm hoping has the results of the civil case in which their family is utterly cratered.

looking up the actual results, the PTA lady was awarded 5.6 million dollars, but the article is well written and worth a look.

I was really enjoying that until the wife told the husband to kill himself after they were convicted so she could collect the insurance money and then threatened to kill herself when he refused.

quote:

Easter did his time without the luxury of anonymity. Inmates recognized him from TV, and some thought he ought to be taken down. One day, he said, two of them knocked him down and bloodied his nose. He cleaned floors and toilets, and read “Game of Thrones” paperbacks.

That softened the disgust a bit and brought it back to scooty fruity.

Many still pay in the event of suicide, that's sort of a trope from TV shows like CSI. My brother-in-law killed himself a few years ago and we had no problems with his life insurance. Sometimes if it's a new policy for a huge amount there's a time limit before it will cover suicide but most pay out normally.

This is one of my favorite parts of the affair because it's basically a twist right out of a TV courtroom drama, and normally it would never fly in real life but because they managed to slip it through in plain sight they actually got to pull it off (it probay helped that the defendants were ridiculously unlikable and had zero sympathy from the judge.)

Re: The article about Jill Easter - and how everyone can't understand the way she acted.

I assume none of those people have worked customer service. She's part of that type of over-intelligent, bored, affluent person that has all the time in the world to rain down hellfire on any perceived slight. You see them a couple times a month.

After reading that article, I'm almost convinced that Jill Easter was the basis for the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt character Deirdre Robespierre, played by Anna Camp. The hyper-rich, overly-educated wife that's so loving bored that she gets off on stirring poo poo and bludgeoning her opponents.

With some people, you have to make a show of force. It was less about definitely bringing someone in, and more about showing a couple of powerful, connected, influential people that they had no allies on this one.

A huge huntsman spider caused a chain reaction which finished with a teenage Volkswagen driver watching helplessly as her car rolled into the river.

The 18-year-old woman had driven her vehicle to the Bayview Boat Ramp, on the northern beaches, in the early morning when the arachnid fell from underneath the visor and onto her lap.

The panicked woman applied the handbrake only half way before leaping from the car and doing a "spider dance" in an attempt to rid herself of the spider, witnesses said.

But while she was occupied with the creepy crawly her car began slowly rolling into the water.
