Charging documents say he offered a woman a ride, then strangled her unconscious and masturbated on her. He pleaded guilty to a single felony assault charge and got no jail time. I mean, why would he, prolly just horseplay ktva.com/story/39123509…
Woman has trouble breathing, goes to hospital. She's sedated and kept overnight. Doctor visits her room several times. Rapes her. She tries calling for help; nurse's button is unplugged. He's tried, found guilty. No jail time. Why would there be usatoday.com/story/news/nat…
Let's check /r/legaladvice for a distracting change. Oh look here's a story about a redditor's 17-year-old daughter who's repeatedly groped by male classmates. She reports the assault to her principal. I wonder how this ends
reddit.com/r/legaladvice/…
I'm now reading Bruenig's account of Amber Wyatt. It includes an account of a woman who sent police photographs of her own rape. I wonder how due process worked out for her
Okay, so what happens when a girl does exactly the right thing instantly and reports her rape RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENED? Surely she got the right result right washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/…
by the way, these are all stories I just stumbled on by accident ... THIS WEEK
I have pretty aggressively *not* been looking for them
lol I just listened to 1st ep of Serial. Woman gets repeatedly groped by two strange dudes in a bar. When she reacts (the 7th time!), another woman gets in her face defending ... the dudes. So does most of the bar. Fight breaks out, everyone against her. Guess how this story ends
oh "Judge Humes J. Franklin on Friday sentenced the 21-year-old former UVa student to five years' supervised probation. Franklin accepted the plea agreement, deeming it a fair compromise, in part because neither party was happy." wjla.com/news/crime/no-…

She spent the '60s running SHA out of her apartment, teaching DIY abortion classes and publishing The List--a kind of Yelp of ok doctors--and trying to get arrested so unjust laws would be exposed. She's 90 now. I got to profile her. Meet Pat Maginnis. slate.com/human-interest…
Here she is in 1963, handing out leaflets about abortion when it was still a crime to disseminate info about it. "I feel great indignation as a woman to think that women have to subject themselves to second-rate medical care for a safe, surgical procedure"
She joined the Women's Army Corps but was "disciplined" for walking with a black soldier. "You’re setting a bad example for young white women who might join the military," she was told. They shipped her to Panama, where she worked at the hospital and saw a lot in the OB/GYN ward.

really wish somebody had done a poll like this before a lot of good outlets fired their writers to pivot to video no one seems to want
only the 1% wants it! the jokes, they write themselves
FWIW, as if to drive home the uselessness of stats reporting from social media orgs, I have no idea what to make of Twitter's own stats when it comes to this here poll. It says 2,746 people have voted as of this posting (7:16 PST), but when I click on "View Tweet," it says 1,245.

The body of another young black man found at the West Hollywood apartment of Ed Buck — a prominent Democratic donor who allegedly has a fetish for drugging sex workers. advocate.com/crime/2019/1/0…
Buck was investigated previously by authorities after the death of Gemmel Moore, who died of a methamphetamine overdose in Buck's home in July 2017. Moore's death was classified as an accidental.
“I honestly don’t know what to do. I’ve become addicted to drugs and the worst one at that” wrote Moore. “Ed Buck is the one to thank. He gave me my first injection of crystal meth it was very painful, but after all the troubles, I became addicted to the pain and fetish/fantasy”

🚨BREAKING🚨

Roger Stone is in the barrel‼️

Mueller asked House Intel on Friday for an official transcript of Roger Stone’s testimony, likely b/c Mueller can PROVE that Stone LIED to Congress & will charge him with a #felony.😎

#Indictments

🔥STONE🔥

“That suggests prosecutors are getting ready to bring a charge. Prosecutors can’t bring a charge without an original certified copy of the transcript that shows the witness lied.” ~former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner.

#Felony
#MuellerTime
Although not confirmed, Mueller is believed to be probing Stone's LIES to Congress about what prompted him to predict the #WikiLeaks dump **in advance**. Remember Stone's now-infamous tweet about "Podesta's time in the barrel"?🧐

🔥IMPEACH🔥

THREAD: the filings by Mueller and SDNY on Cohen are BIGLY bad news for @realDonaldTrump and his spawn, Don Jr, Kremlin🇷🇺Barbie, and Eric and *clearly* indicate that Trump is an UNINDICTED co-conspirator.

And then, there's the Manafort memo... 1/

#TrumpRussia
First, SDNY makes it clear that Cohen does *not* have a formal cooperation agreement **with them** (but stay tuned on this front later...). As such, SDNY asks the Court to a "substantial term of imprisonment."🤔 2/
SDNY *nails* Cohen for 4 federal felonies to which he pleaded GUILTY: tax evasion, making false statements to a bank, illegal campaign contributions, and making false statements to Congress. 3/

@SethAMandel You're right.

It's not about Trump.

It's about the fact that a man, protected by his privilege all his life, is now being given more of the same privilege, despite the fact that multiple women, NONE OF THEM seeking attention, have come forward.
@SethAMandel If they *wanted* attention, they'd be seeking it. They'd be giving media interviews. But they are in hiding.

They're facing death threats. They're dealing with personal life upheavals that *nobody* wants.

And yet right-wing politicians, by default, are falling in line...why?
@SethAMandel to protect Kavanaugh.

Many do it, I suspect, because he's pro-life and that will give them what they want on SCOTUS.

But you know what else I suspect is driving them?

I've been wanting to do a thread on Republican fundraiser Elliott Broidy for a while, but I seriously don't know where to start. This guy seems to be up to his neck in all sorts of bizarre scandals. So here's a short rundown of some of the things we've learned about Broidy.
Back in 2009, Broidy pleaded guilty to committing a felony by giving nearly $1 million in illegal gifts to state officials in order to secure a lucrative deal with New York’s public pension fund for his then-firm Markstone Capital Partners. blogs.wsj.com/privateequity/…
Preparing to restock the DOJ at the start of the Trump administration, Jeff Sessions sought out Elliott Broidy for recommendations. The Republican donor’s conviction in that political corruption case years earlier didn’t seem to be a problem. propublica.org/article/elliot…

THREAD: What can we learn from the new document filed today in conjunction with Gates’ expected guilty plea?
1/ The document being discussed in the media is called a superseding information. It replaces the charges that Gates currently faces with new charges—a charge of conspiracy against the United States and a charge of making a false statement to the FBI. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4386…
2/ It’s typical for a cooperator to plead guilty to fewer charges (often just one) than he was originally charged with. Typically a prosecutor will do that as long as the maximum sentence called for in the sentencing guidelines is within the maximum sentence for the charges.
