It’s like we’re not getting anything from selling out completely to Putin
Speaking as a GenXer it’s really damned depressing to think that the most famous member of our generation is Elon fucking Musk
You know it’s bad when Foghorn Leghorn is making sense
Call me a cranky old communist but I don’t think our political/economic system should be run by & for a handful of mega rich dickhead weirdos who can do whatever they want whenever they want w/absolutely no consequences whatsoever
Yeah, that’s some bullshit #copolitics
Idiocracy
“Here is what AI came up with” is NEVER a good argument
Are they also lifts?

I didn't say he was charged under a conspiracy; I said people have been convicted under felony murder for no more evidence than a conspiracy. In a case from Texas, a man was sentenced to die because he gave a ride to a man who committed an armed robbery & killed a clerk. So yes, while arson might be
On that we agree.

in the underlying crime was, at most, being part of a conspiracy. There are numerous felony murder convictions where the person who actually committed the murder received a plea bargain & the accomplice was sentenced to death. There is no logical explanation for the felony murder rule that couldn't
I think you have a misunderstanding of what felony murder is. In your examples, compared to this case, it would be someone else burning down your house or gagging the victim WITHOUT ANY PROOF OF THE DEFENDANT'S knowledge. And there are plenty of felony murder cases where the Defendant's involvement
Shambling dilapidated old pedophile has some thoughts
But the mens rea for murder should be the mens rea for murder.
Dammit!
It's basically the 70's all over again: stagflation, war in the Middle East, an energy crisis. I assume polyester leisure suits and disco are next.
