I'm inclined to believe the Jury made the right decision based on this excellent article published by Politico and written by an alternate juror in the case. However, were I on the Jury, I would seriously question even the charge of possession of a firearm by a felon. I would have to be convinced that under the circumstances that pertained, the legal definition of "possession" had been met. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/12/06/kate-steinle-murder-trial-jury-didnt-botch-216016
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...eople-in-three-states/?utm_term=.c8114a1517df Donald Trump will be president thanks to 80,000 people in three states Three-weeks-plus after Election Day, there are still more votes to count in California than were cast in each of nine states and D.C. Most of the votes that have been (slowly, laboriously) counted in the state have been votes for Hillary Clinton, giving her a 4.1 million-vote lead in that state that's powering her 2.5 million-vote lead nationally. It takes Donald Trump's margins in the seven states where he saw the biggest vote advantages to make up Clinton's lead in California alone. (All of these figures thanks to Cook Political's Dave Wasserman.) But, of course, none of this matters. All that matters is that Trump got more electoral college votes, thanks to having won more states. In many cases, those wins were much more narrow than Clinton's, which also helps power the gap between the electoral vote and the popular one. Trump won 18 states by fewer than 250,000 votes; Clinton, 13. The most important states, though, were Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Trump won those states by 0.2, 0.7 and 0.8 percentage points, respectively — and by 10,704, 46,765 and 22,177 votes. Those three wins gave him 46 electoral votes; if Clinton had done one point better in each state, she'd have won the electoral vote, too. Or put another way: But for 79,646 votes cast in those three states, she'd be the next president of the United States. The 540-vote margin in Florida that swung the 2000 election is still the modern record-holder for close races, but this is a pretty remarkable result. (Especially since the final gap between Al Gore and George W. Bush was only a little over 500,000 votes nationally.) http://www.weeklystandard.com/the-e...isconsin-and-michigan-updated/article/2005323 The Election Came Down to 77,744 Votes in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan (Updated) A closer look at the three states that decided the winner in 2016. Donald Trump owes his victory in the Electoral College to three states he won by the smallest number of votes: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. So it's fair to say that the 2016 presidential election was decided by about 77,000 votes out of than 136 million ballots cast. According to the final tallies, Trump won Pennsylvania by 0.7 percentage points (44,292 votes), Wisconsin by 0.7 points (22,748 votes), Michigan by 0.2 points (10,704 votes). If Clinton had won all three states, she would have won the Electoral College 278 to 260. She fell short in all three, of course, and that's why we are now getting accustomed to the reality of President-elect Donald J. Trump.
So, big mouth and a couple more roboposts, but still not able to paste my words there so that we can examine them?
I wish I could give this post ten likes. Trump has developed this habit of criticizing his own administration on twitter as though he is an outside observer. He has done it repeatedly with Sessions, with the FBI's corrupt investigation of Hillary, with the non-investigation of several unfolding democrat scandals, etc. It is beginning to get a little tiresome. Do something dammit.
Here's more cases of our Muellerfied justice system at work. --- America: Killer Gets Three Years for Murder – Vandal Gets 15 Years for Placing Bacon in Mosque. Sounds fair. A University of Akron student who killed his roommate after a drunken argument over fast food was sentenced to three years in prison this week. 23-year-old killer Kendal Scheid of Norwalk, Ohio, will be eligible for release in six months, according to WJW. Meanwhile, 37-year-old Michael Wolfe was sentenced to 15 years in prison after breaking into a Florida mosque and left 3 pounds of bacon at the front door.
