I learned to play guitar which was fun I guess
What was taken I cannot get back
Forreal tho either America = New York or LA as far as they're concerned lmao
What was taken I cannot get back
Well America itself is actually 6 time zones with the largest gap being 6 hours between the Eastern time zone and the Hawaii-Aleutian time zone so it could just be that OP
- Is dumb
- Is being intentionally vague for intrigue/outrage
- just lives in a country with one time zone and didn't have to think about it. This could be true even if they live in a big ass county like China or India since they both only recognize one time zone each for their own reason.
Yeah again it's super inconsistent in how it's described. Also given how long the slash is going from neck to chest I dunno just can't imagine how she managed that. There's the defensive cuts and the one near her neck just BARELY missed her carotid artery.
Also something that's never mentioned is that her youngest child who was I believe 7 months lived and was asleep upstairs with her husband. How did he not wake up? Why would she kill her two kids and leave the other one?
I dunno I kinda wonder if it wasn't some kind of domestic abuse situation gone particularly bad where she was coerced into going with the intruder story.
Idk I just can't say that there's anywhere near enough evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt she did it.
But he had 25 years of blood splatter analysis experience!! /s
How does one even quantify that like did you go to blood splatter university? Get your masters in blood splatterology? Sounds like someone pumping up their resume to make the prosecution's case seem more realistic. Looking at you Tom Bevel (the supposed blood splatter expert on her case).
This. This is what it really comes down to. Idk how this resulted in her on death row it's way too shaky imo
Idk I'm just really hesitant to even believe the "statement of facts" because so much of this seems like she was presumed guilty from the start. I mean go back and read the original statement of facts from any death row murder case that ended up overturned to give you a good example. Kirk bloodsworth Like those are almost always written in such a way that supports the outcome of the case in my experience.
Ralph Wright is another one that comes to mind where there's a statement of facts out there that sounds incredibly damning but resulted in his exoneration after DNA testing.
After more reading it still seems like a lot of this is based on blood splatter stuff which is still super weird. It really sounds, the more I read the statement of facts, they took someone who was pretty fucked after what happened and who was already a little crazy and then cross examined the fuck out of her till she was like "I don't remember what happened!"
Which like shit I get that way when my girlfriend questions something I said too much. I have 0 confidence in my own memory.
I mean I agree with the defense like if you're willing to kill why not kill the husband for his life insurance why not idk rob someone. Killing your kids is such a shenanigans way to go about this if the motive is financial struggles.
The big thing that makes me question things is one of the knives in the block having fibers that are supposedly consistent with the intruder's entry point on it. A lot of people take that as she cut it from the inside and put the knife back. I mean that sounds compelling and all but like that's really the only thing here that feels like actually evidence that it may have been a staged crime scene.
Other than that it just seems a lot like they're speculating on blood stain patterns, remarking on a lack of evidence that there was an intruder when a lot of the evidence they expect from an intruder aren't the type of thing that HAS to be there, and they keep referencing these statements on the wound she had that are in my opinion really inconsistent. Like why'd they do the exploratory surgery? Idk the whole thing doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Jeeeesus Christ talk about a weird case with no evidence leading someone to death row.
That whole trial seems insane like there's literally no evidence she did any of this shit. All they had was like some blood splatters they speculated MIGHT be caused by her raising the knife over her head to stab the kids.
Seriously what the fuck.
Edit: holy fuck have y'all read the signed affidavit from her husband explaining how he had seemingly hired someone to steal his car and rob his house for insurance claims???
His YouTube is in the video
Idk about "racist-leaning" I'm definitely gonna need receipts for that one, but they were definitely political definitely rage bait at times.
For the most part tho they just seem to be like socialist/communist/anarchists with all the opinions you'd imagine those ppl would have.
Idk if I agree with defederating with them I mean they're a HUGELY popular instance that really just served as a place for political views that, at least to my knowledge, are pretty popular among Lemmy users.
It shouldn't be surprising that a LARGE amount of the people who fled corporate social media to make a community owned social media with no centralized "governance" are socialists, communists, and anarchists.
Seems like a bit of a hasty step to just defederate. Also I can't find any proof of a vote after searching quite a bit.
If anyone wants the link to the original video and the person involved
So this happened in November of 2018 apparently. The guy in the video is the YouTuber Flexxinruee (Rudy Ornelas). He's a barber mostly and I believe this happened in front of his business.
He says in the original video on his channel that this event happened in November of 2018 and he won the case in August of 2019 after using the video as evidence. He posted this video to his channel August 6th of 2019.
As far as what exactly he was charged with it wasn't exactly released. CBS news asked and the police didn't comment. He did have a "gun charge" according to a CBS article from 2019. It seems that any other charges were dropped before they got to court and the gun charge was the only one that remained.
The charge specifically was for the illegal transportation of a firearm. In California you can transport a firearm only in your trunk or in another locked area/container IF the firearm is unloaded. His had the magazine in it. That's all they got him on. He went to court to get the firearm back and I believe he had to take a firearms class.
The police captain also claimed the video didn't show the "conclusion" to the interaction where they claim he admitted he knows why the gun was drawn on him and he apologized. That being said they never released any dashcam or body cam footage to confirm that. It's just a buncha talk as far as I'm concerned. Rudy (the YouTuber) never said anything to that effect so ¯(ツ)_/¯
About 4 months back he posted a video talking about the situation and answering the question of if he sued and explaining why he didn't sue. He mostly just said he wasn't sure the outcome would actually be positive and there's a lot of religion thrown in there about how Jesus kept the cops from shooting him etc.
Edit: clarifying the guy's name, the origin of some of the information, and that Rudy never mentioned anything about apologizing to my knowledge
Eastern Time Zone
I'm an Electrical Engineering student with a part time job that's VERY lenient regarding me being on my phone.
With that being said I'd reckon I can be on at least once most hours of the day given i don't sleep a whole lot.
What my man Edric here says is facts bc doing that in the summer or the winter is balls.
It's ok ish spring and late fall but between our car delivery people and the cart people two of them got hit by a car within 6 months or so.
I'd much rather keep my annoying ass spot in electronics than be constantly pinching my fingers on carts and finnicking with the stupid cart wrangler controller in the hot sun or freezing winter
Your friend lied or y'all don't live in the south bc I fuckin HAAAAATEEEDD that shit
That's probably the case especially given the gas tank is sitting at empty
So PRNDS has me confused. Bc obviously it's
P - park
R - reverse
N - neutral
D - drive
S - sport
What I don't get is like why it's there if it doesn't show any of them selected
Like what would be its purpose/how is nothing selected if it does serve a purpose
