  1. Playing the race card in this situation just proves she doesn’t have what it takes to be a university president. Integrity and academic excellence are what it takes, and some class for good measure. I’m surprised that she got this position at Harvard.

  2. More likely, she resigned because it was easier to go now than to fight the plagiarism charges and lose. Naturally, she went out playing the “race” card. Better just to be a good example for your “race” if you see everything in racial terms. Most people in universities just want the President, whatever color or ethnicity or sex, to be an example of academic achievement and ethical conduct.

  3. “Waving a knife” doesn’t seem like sufficient reason to shoot someone. Did she come at them attempting to stab them?

  4. The jury should pick the foreman, regardless of what the judge says.

  5. These guys are so comical.

  6. R — They were, but there are far more citizens who are not police than there are police. Why argue with succss?

  7. You could very easily look up Massachusetts firearm regulations and figure it out. One of them is transporting firearms through Massachusetts without a permit.

  8. No, nobody cares about the history, real or imagined. They are charged with specific crimes. That is all it is about.

  9. I don’t want to know them.

  10. I have mixed feelings. I have been independent since Eugene McCarthy ran as an independent in 1976, so I’m all for an independent candidacy. On the other hand, RFK jr. has been an anti-vaccine nut, which would normally rule him out completely for me. It depends on his policies. If he denounces Biden’s proxy war against Russia and pledges to end all military involvement in Ukraine immediately, I will vote for him.

  11. Different jurisdiction, different facts. Why would you expect everything to be handled in exactly the same way? The Gutierrez case is still under investigation. The authorities are not ready to file charges, so are required to release the suspect after 48 hours.

  12. I'm sure they waited for the trial to conclude before taking this step.

  13. Their conduct at arraignment makes it clear how they feel about courts.

  14. Juries don't find defendants "innocent." They may find them "not guilty."

  15. Most likely ran out of fuel. That’s why they are looking for it — no fire.

  16. I haven't followed the trial in detail, but if they don't get a verdict on Monday, I'd say a mistrial is in order. I have no opinion on her actual guilt or innocence.

  17. We don't know what the split is.

  18. That’s the crazy part. They aren’t just acting crazy, like Yippies, they are crazy.

  19. What a dreadful idea.

  20. The DA is not required to retry. In some cases, public sentiment would demand a retrial (e.g. Phil Spector), but in this case I don't expect many people would mind if it were dropped.

  21. She did force an attorney on him. It isn’t difficult to waive your right to an attorney if you are of sound mind, so this guy is just too dumb to understand how to do it.

  22. If he can’t understand how to waive his right to an attorney, he certainly can’t understand any other aspect of court procedure. The court need not indulge clowns.

  23. I've been on juries. We never asked for transcripts. We processed the testimony as it occurred, and remembered the important parts.

  24. A Rodriguez Instruction comes from the case Commonwealth v. Rodriguez. When the jury reached an impasse, the judge gave them an additional instruction intended to help them resolve their differences to reach a unanimous verdict. Search to find an example of the instruction.

  25. Has she been charged with that? She can only be convicted on the charges.

  26. Doesn’t matter. You can hear for yourself what they are by listening to their arraignments.

  27. A trial is where it is determined whether or not they did anything wrong. More precisely, whether or not they committed a crime.

  28. No. There is room for an honest difference of opinion on this case.

  29. This isn’t terrorism. There are laws to cover it.

  30. The investigation will determine what happened. No point in speculating.

  31. It is explained in the video.

  32. The video says he served four years for the death.

  33. Not really. The Moors were people from NW Africa.

  34. The term “Moor” refers to certain people of North Africe, in this case, those so called in the Treaty of Peace and Friendship of 1786. Who knows what these clowns believe?

  35. The crime is what matters, not her color or "race."

  36. Search "Rodriguez Instruction".

  37.  @koalafiedbear3791  — They are allowed to represent themselves in court if they are competent to do so. It is not difficult to satisfy a court that one can defend oneself. These maroons aren’t even trying.

  38. I do puzzles. What's wrong with that?

  39. If the Democrats lose another election to Trump, it will be their own fault. They need to put Biden out to pasture. I have nothing good to say about Trump and will certainly not vote for any Republican, but President Biden disgusts me. He is a warmonger. He is an unreconstructed cold warrior, now in a hot war with Russia, the most reckless thing a president has done in my lifetime. We need a statesman in the Presidency. We need statesmen in the Senate. Whete are the statesmen today? I may write in former Senator Bill Bradley, the last statesman in the US Senate.

  40. Why make up such nonsense?

  41. That case is still under investigation. He isn’t off the hook.

  42. I did not hear any attorney in this clip.

  43. Yes, but the people of Boston who are grieving today are not the same people who spurned Russell 60 years ago. Most of them are gone.

  44. Scott Adams is nobody. He had one idea for a comic strip which was only funny for a year or two, and now he imagines his thoughts on current events are worthy of publication.

  45. How was the selection done?
    1
  46. There were sonic booms from the two F-16s sent up to check it out.

  47. Brown has a highly regarded medical school.
    1
  48. It wasn’t shot down. There is no reason to shoot a plane down that is not a threat.
    1
  49. Booking photos aren’t available until after an arrestee is booked.

  50. Why not use the name of the group? It’s more specific, for one thing. The reporters are trying to find out information about this particular group, which they did. Do you just want them to inflame anti-Islam sentiment?
