It's not just that she wasn't in court when she was convicted, she wasn't in Italy at all and they went ahead anyway rather than trying to extradite. This is unjust in US,
I agree that European law is rough (this coming from an American), but who are we to judge their ideals just because they're different than ours?
If they see reason to allow double jeapordy, et al, then that's their right. American and European law is vastly different, but it's a case of historical ideals more than anything.
Sure whatever, as long as they do it to themselves and not Americans. Obama should step in and put an end to the whole matter.
Thing is. In the US you can be tried twice for the same crime. It all depends on how far the prosecutor (and you) want to push things. This is what various appeals courts, all the way up to the Supreme Court are.
nopee. the first court is the only court that hears matters of fact, i.e. evidence, witnesses, etc. all the appeals courts only hear matters of law, i.e. whatever. further, if the defendant wins a court case, the prosecutors can't appeal. So, no you can't be tried more than once.
In the US, you can be convicted in absentia as well. Take Andrew Luster as an example.
The supreme court has ruled over and over and over again that people have the right to be present at trial, and if a trial happens without them it is a violation of due process protections. Congress codified this in 1946 to lay out specific protections and enumerate specific exemptions. One exemption "the defendant waives his or her right to be present if he or she voluntarily leaves the trial after it has commenced". Your dude Andrew Luster bolted from the trial and fled the country. He got sentenced anyway.
You sir are my chief pedant of the peasant's pedant brigade. USA is an exceptional nation.
It's fundamental to all of Europe, and a huge freaking problem. Look at Amanda Knox – interrogated without a lawyer, tried twice for the same crime, and convicted without being present in court. Thank goodness we have the Bill of Rights! Those founders really thinking something good two hundred years ago.
If the builder has a fixed price or not to exceed contract, then he has to deliver the goods at that price, and anything else is out of pocket. Same for contract work for software. But also note the difference between a builder company and an independent contractor. If the building company goes over, it still has to pay its employees.
At the same time there are sinister forces at work that are politicizing issues like evolution and climate change under the guise of 'teach the controversy'. I doubt any leader advocating for this does not have a political agenda. It is ok to mount a vigorous defense against those trying to undermine tenets you hold dear p.
I think what we need is to read the textbooks and the syllabi. How this is implemented is key. To be fair I was taught the controversy between Darwinian evolution and lamarkian evolution, including the strengths and weaknesses of each.
Well I want Vishnu taught as well, there are many components of 'intelligent design' that I know to be untrue based on my beliefs, and I want them to teach the controversy.
creationism is a Judeo-Christian belief. hwat if you're not Christian? what if you're hindu? are hindu theories taught as well? surely they are just as valid as judeo chrisian theories from a neutral perspective.
Here are some thoughts, for me the entire issue is settled even without considering matters of fact like the quality of the evidence, if somebody was incompetent or corrupt or whatever. The issue comes down to a matter of law and civil rights.
Amanda Knox' arrest, trial and conviction in an italian court violate many american principles of freedom and justice that have been in place since the day the constitution was signed: * Arrested and interrogated with no lawyer present (fifth amendment, right against compelled self-incrimination), * After her first conviction was overturned by the italian supreme court, she was tried again for the same crime (fifth amendment, right against double jeopardy), * When she was convicted the second time she wasn't even present at the trial (fifth amendment, right to be present at trial).
Some will say that the reach of the american constitution stops at the border, but I say that when an american's civil rights are grossly violated overseas, the rest of the country and the us government should rally to defend her.
you should write an app that encapsulates all this HOSTS stuff in a way that is accessible for more people, and throw a GUI on it for some UI/UX. If this were open source I think it would fill an important niche considering that ADBLOCK was purchased, although I don't know about ghostery.
The difference is that in most threads you babble on and on about how HOSTS so effective. Here you just say what to do and how It can help. If you did that more often especially being more succinct I think you would get a better response.
yeah but for normal stereo system speakers (detached ones, not ones built into a boom box) you're also running an amp that provides high-watt power to them. the speakers are rated for a certain power, and you could attach an amp that provides too much power. If the hardware stack is ok, eg. the max amp output matches the max speaker input, then you should be able to turn the amp up to 11 with no problems.
separately, what does everybody mean about VLC doing clipping of the waveform for movies? I don't understand this.
t's not like people just suddenly stop paying for things.
I would stop paying for things. Considering I pay for everything in pennies currently, and don't use CCs etc, my system works for me and I'm not going to change it.
It's never actually been about "amateur sports" in anything other than name and some niceties to dress the illusion. It's always been a contest of international/inter-cultural/ideological propaganda campaigns, international one-upsmanship, and a sort of warfare without armies.
It's called 'soft diplomacy' and actually an effective way of bringing countries together in a positive way, not in a warfare proxy way. Kind of like the Chinese pandas at the zoo in Washington, D.C. A great zoo if you've never been.
Here's the deal Sparky. You give EA money and they'll tell you what's to like and what's not to like. Depending on how much money you give them, but you back in app that's between one *And five star.

Tell that to the "Liberty City 7"
Is that the new GTA sequel?
On what grounds can the not guilty verdict be appealed?

Tell me, can you guess what event motivated Intel to begin using formal proofs in their chips? I'll give you two guesses, and take away the first.
I give up, what?

Actually no, religion isn't pushed on people, Christianity is pushed on people. And it sucks when the govt picks a favorite religion.

The submitters analogy sounds like bull poop.

So it just plays the whole DVD at 100% loud... Presumably this could accelerate any fatigue in the speakers. What else could it do?
remember the commercials, dude you got a dell! that guy was funny.
