In general, any multimillionaire that gets off of a serious charge doesn’t mean they’re innocent.
It just another example of having ridiculous amounts of money in our legal system means it’s really hard to be hel accountable.
Hell, trump got off of beating and raping his wife, because of an old ass New York law that said a husband can’t rape his wife under any circumstance.
Only if you’re ignoring that one party has spent decades intentionally trying to dismantle the federal government…
And they’re the only ones that repeat this stupid shit…
Then yeah, maybe you would think this was an insightful thing for Regan to have said.
Lupe something.
And he wasnt convicted, but was going to. The state had a “medical expert” show up and testify that there was no way an adult woman could look like that. Just 100% sure of himself and smug as fuck about it.
Then the defense called the pornstar to the stand and she was in her late 20s or something and working in the industry for over a decade.
It was something that never should have made it to trial, and gets used a lot as an example for how shit expert testimony can be. The prosecution doesn’t try to find the person who knows the most, they find whoever can do the best job of convincing a jury that the prosecution is right. So the people who do it (some are professional “expert witnesses”) are just the most overconfident people. Even if they’re not sure, they play it up that there can’t be any doubt.
Yeah, it was really buggy recently, so lots of people just switched instances
Especially with vote bots.
It’s going to be mostly bots voting against each other
Lemmy is better on web than kbin.
But kbin lets you block entire instances as a user, which is worth the tradeoff for me.
There was a couple instances I just didn’t want to see and blocking them by community was like whack a mole
Yeah, I’ve been on 3 Lemmy instances and now kbin in like 3 weeks
Finding out kbin let you block a whole instances instead of just communities was enough to warrant a new account
Not to mention they forgot the leaders of those African countries who make deals that give them personal wealth at the expense of their people.
In some cases 1st world countries have installed those leaders, but that’s not really that common.
And the citizens can’t overthrow them their selves, and the other countries who are benefitting have no incentive to “spread democracy” even if they actually mean it this time.
