in other news, Chud the builder is going to jail for the rest of his life if he doesn't drop his dime store attorney he currently has and get somebody halfway decent. They're looking to nail his ass to a cross.

> The entire media apparatus can say anything that want, he can't respond.

Seems fair. 😒

what sort of chance does he have in appeal? I honestly can't see how this isn't clear self defense.

The problem is appellate courts don't typically review factually findings, just legal errors. That's why he has to fight here. He need to take leave for interlocutory appeal and the appeal on the gag order.

Do it, Hump. Represent him.

1. I know nothing of criminal procedure generally.

2. I'm not licensed in TN.

Know anyone good who is?

his attorney normally handles divorce cases so I don't think he knows how to handle this case.

Also, I think he might be acquainted with Chud and doing it pro bono.

Oh fuck. He's fucked. Divorce lawyers are the bottom of the barrel. At least get a guy who does civil lit if you can't find a good criminal attorney.

supposedly the prosecution showed surveillance video that showed chud walking away from the guy before he was attacked but this hasn't been released to the public. I guess no cameras were allowed in the courtroom at that time.

This only makes me more concerned. Judge sees video, knows what it shows, knows the media is against chud, gags everyone.

trying to legislate that hurty words constitutes violence, even if those hurty words weren't direct at you.

@Xenophon @Humpleupagus @DC5FAN @Terry That's been a thing for ages, look up "fighting words".

this isn't the UK. calling someone a bad name doesn't justify them attacking you.

>Well you shouldn't have called him a faggot, son.

Not a real thing.

They want to do indirectly what they can't directly, by increasing the cost of using the words.

Have been doing for a while, really…

They don't think it be what it is, but it do
