Ah, i remembered the term i was looking for. Prior Bad Acts: Specific acts to prove that a person’s action conforms with a character trait is usually not admissible. However, a defendant’s “prior acts of sexual assault or child molestation are admissible in a case where he is accused of...

You can't shoot someone for having done bad things previously, especially if you have no way to knowing their past history at the time of the shooting. If you are defending yourself you have to be able to point to the threat (which again, a person's history, which was unknown to you at that...

i'm sure prior bad acts can be included in some cases. But it's more likely dependent on the specific facts of the case. I believe judges typically tell jurors not to watch media or do things that would otherwise influence the case outside of what is presented in court. But that doesn't always...

it probably depends on the case. I don't think a person's rap sheet can be included in the court proceedings in cases where the people involved would have had no way of knowing about the person's past (in a situation like self defense). So you can't shoot a stranger and then claim you did it...

if you're willing to drive, i know my boss found a mill in fayetteville that has hardwood ply for very good prices. I can get the name if it'd be of interest.

thanks. That is what i thought but i wasn't sure how complicated it would get once i started adding things and if it'd make more sense to try to feed/split the outlets through one box and the lights another.

I'm in the process of redoing our laundry room and one of the improvements i want to make is 1) adding a couple of outlets in more useful places and 2) replacing the single fixture with two LED can lights. In scouting the project i realized that the way the room is wired is that the power...

looks like a tv station cut and pasted the lead and second paragraph and used them as the headline and deck for the website. Hard to say from what you posted if the article was written by the tv station or if it was pulled from another source (AP article, local newspaper, etc). But generally...

people here will come around to her once they realize she didn't try to help Griner when she was arrested in Russia and that she doesn't care for her gay players.

She was a piece of work when i covered her in the mid 2000s and she has only gotten worse. But it's very laughable that anyone would call her anything close to woke because of this.

I'm always amazed that people feel patriotism should take the same lock-step form for everyone. Or that prayer/ religious expression should too for that matter.

It's politics. Fault with the other side will always be found when someone wants to find it. And again, i never said the statement was good or bad. I said it was ironic that the need to be offended actually brought more coverage of the proclamation than ignoring it would have. And as i said...

you're saying he is lying about having not been on the court for the anthem for several years?

wait wait wait, we should govern now by who might be offended? That seems like a bold statement. And not all Christians were offended, nor are offended by transgenderism. It might be shocking to know that there are people who are both transgender and christian. If you were a comedian and...

Biden hosted the easter event, just as presidents before him have. Just like the tree lighting isn't really an event that also acknowledges the season without specifically endorsing a specific religion. I certainly may be wrong, but does the white house do any events that 'officially' knowledge...

1) This is excluding the annual Easter Egg roll, right? Which had record attendance i believe. 2) What kind of acknowledgement do you need from our government for a religious holiday? 3) What is religiously offensive about transgenderism specifically? (and no, transgenderism does not...
