Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

The cops figuratively shoot themselves in the foot, because they're so used to plea deals they forgot how a lawful investigation is supposed to work.
They claimed there was danger and that's why they apprehended him and separated him from his bag without Miranda. But forgot that once that happened, they were no longer legally allowed to search the bag without a warrant because there was no imment threat.
Then even after searching the bag, they found nothing.
Until after the bag was at the station and searched again.
The single cop who drove the bag to the station was photographed leaving with no gloves on, testified there was no reason she'd have put gloves on while driving, but was photographed with gloves on while turning the bag in.
It's going to be insane if anything from the bag is admitted, and since it's "public knowledge" what was in the bag it's influenced every potential juror and may be grounds for a mistrial already.
I feel like they're dragging it out because they know it's gonna be bad, but that's not going to help anything, people aren't just going to stop caring about this.
The orange turd tweeting that he firmly believes Luigi to be guilty AND the DOJ retweeting that should already be a basis for a mistrial, on the argument that with these events, there's no way to conduct a fair and proper trial anymore as the government itself has influenced judge, jury and public.
Setting aside the legal probability of the matter: it’s my staunch belief that whether or not he actually killed the guy (and I remain categorically unconvinced on that front), Luigi did nothing wrong.
Repeat after me folks "Jury Nullification". I'm shocked how many people don't know anything about it. (Not saying you don't, just venting).
It’s not that shocking. Prosecutors do not like it when jurors mention it. So if you get pinged for jury duty ever, do not bring that up, ever. But you can and should bring it up in deliberations, assuming the situation is appropriate.
In general, if you want to be on a jury say as little as possible (and vice versa)
Oh I'm certain Jim Crow knows, given the unfortunate history of the civil rights movement in the US, folks like Sammy Younge Jr were assassinated and their killer would be acquitted by an all white jury.
This is the OJ trail where they planted the gloves, but this time they planted a gun. So Lugi should be sit free just like OJ. But unlike OJ Lugi is innocent.
Yeah. And he totally hand-wrote the manifesto while on his way there!
