He actually got a new punishment trial, but it backfired as he received 99 years in prison. Then the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals sent him back for good.
- This lawsuit was filed yesterday which involves a rodeo family in Decatur on both sides of it. I'm not sure what it is about.
- Late yesterday, the Republican Jewish Space Laser congresswoman tried to take down the House Speaker, but she was defeated when almost all the Democrats voted to keep him. The final vote count was 359 to 43. She was widely booed when she made the motion. Video.
- Barron is going to be a Republican Convention delegate? I would guess that he would be the one to get the microphone to announce Florida's votes for Trump.
- Story Daniels resumes her seat in the witness box today as cross-examination continues. I was looking over the transcript from her testimony two days ago and trying to see all the times that Trump's attorney's didn't object. What I found was that in the rare case they did object, it was to a question which actually helped them. (See below.) Why? I'll let a prosecutor break every evidence rule in the book if the evidence they are presenting helps my guy.
- This one is interesting. She was at the January 6th riot, and got really close to the capitol building during the insurrection, but never entered it and was never charged with any crimes. Nevertheless, she was fired from her Bexar County deputy job. Now she is entitled to civil damages for a free speech violation. That actually makes sense to me.
- Lots of money grabbing going on here. At least one of those cases was worth trying because those facts are really, really bad.
- The Dog Killer cancelled her apology tour yesterday and can't believe people are so upset with her.
- Updates on the handling of RFK Jr.'s claim that he had a worm in his brain.
- Hannity brought in an obvious brain injury expert, Ronny Jackson.
- How far we've fallen.
- Hold that guy's beer:
- This seems very convoluted. Young people who are charged with minor crimes and placed on pre-trial diversion in Dallas County are sometimes so poor that they can't afford to travel to meet their probation "obligations" (meeting with a probation officer, community service, etc.) So the Dallas County DA's office got a $12,500 grant to help pay for their transportation.
- Legal nerdy stuff: Yesterday, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals ruled on whether a couple of "rap videos" should have been admitted into evidence in a capital murder trial (they shouldn't have been), and ended up quoting the Urban Dictionary and citing southern "trap" music in a footnote.
