“so you’re saying you’d represent someone who has admitted to domestic violence?” i’m saying i have.

"so you’re saying you’d represent someone who has admitted to child abuse?" i'm saying i have.

and i am saying i have given each and every one of those clients the same level of professionalism, effort, and zealous advocacy i have given my clients who are victims of the same. that is how due process works, and every person is guaranteed it.

i have nothing but respect and admiration for my colleagues in the public interest sector who represent those who have committed and/or been accused any and all crimes, no matter how "morally reprehensible" others may find them.

The most common appeal is “ineffective assistance of counsel” (IAOC). IAOC is when your attorney did such a bad job defending you that your trial was constitutionally unfair. See Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984).

If a defendant wins an IAOC appeal, they get a new trial.

Usually, though, they still have to prove that they might have been found not-guilty if their attorney hadn’t screwed up (in legal speak, we say the attorney created prejudice against their own client). However, if the attorney screws up badly enough, it doesn’t matter how obvious the guilt is, they still get a new trial.

And now you’ve got an even longer time since the original crime and witnesses who might not want to testify again or are unavailable for other reasons or are dead. It is harder to prove guilt at a second trial because of that and the new defense attorney now knows all the weaknesses of the state’s case and can exploit them.

Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour.

Cyberpop is a retro-futuristic style that first emerged in Japan during the 1990s under the more generic name "cyber fashion" (サイバーファッション). It is characterized by some fantasy, futurism, and a positive aura, as opposed to Cyberpunk and Cybergoth, which are rather negative and dark (post-apocalyptic).

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.
