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.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 107 points 1 month ago (5 children)

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

[–] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 month ago

Guess time will tell.

[–] stoly@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

This is my bet.

[–] cogman@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

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

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

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

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 5 points 1 month ago

Probably a more likely scenario.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month 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.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 month ago

People have always said I'm well hanged.

[–] Ebby@lemmy.ssba.com 7 points 1 month 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.

[–] crozilla@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

That description might actually stick in my brain.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 53 points 1 month ago

His public defender

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 43 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 27 points 1 month ago

And when that person appointed her in the first place?

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month 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.

[–] cowfodder@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

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@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Scott's Creek

So close. :)

[–] cowfodder@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I fixed it. Stupid autocorrect!

[–] themadcodger@kbin.earth 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Aralakh@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

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

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago

Yeah, assigned "randomly"

[–] charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month 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.

[–] Samvega@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month 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.

[–] Backlog3231@reddthat.com 32 points 1 month ago

Trial will be over by the end of the week and he'll be executed by the end of the month. Meanwhile cannon will find a clerical error in Donnie's case and reschedule a review for "some time next year if I feel like it".

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 25 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Drunemeton@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month 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@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

She’s going to execute him herself.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

The fix is in.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 1 month ago

Lol. This is going to be interesting!
