I hope Abbott goes through with the pardon and we don’t get some bullshite excuse that the parole board didn’t recommend a pardon.

Now, all he can do is make requests to the board of pardons and parole, and then act upon its recommendations.
What is their role exactly? What can they consider? Any particular standard of review?

Past social media comments should have been excluded from evidence.
That invites mind reading. Just because you had a thought in the past doesn't mean you had the same thought during a particular event.

Do you understand the voir dire process? If it was a political jury then his lawyer needs to be fired. He had every opportunity to strike jurors for cause. A jury is determined by both sides and must be unanimous.quote:

Let’s be extremely generous and say that the county is 75% “leftist.“ That would mean that nine of the 12 jurors would be leftist, on average. Sure, 75% is enough to get a slate of “Leftists“ elected to every position of county government. But it is not enough to get a unanimous jury verdict.
you would come to the same conclusion as the jury.quote:
You mean the conclusion that 12 average libs from Travis County ignore facts and decide the guy with the AK was no threat?

While it was a crap charge, if we and the jury have all of the information, how was he convicted, irrespective of the DA?

Seems like a lot of disputed facts and a job for a jury!quote:
None of that is relevant to the fact that he was driving on a road in which he he had the right of way,

After hearing the entire case, the jury believed he did not act in self defense.
The fact of the shooting victim was a “BLM protester“ overrides any evidence which may have been presented at trial. it is all right there in the Texas Penal Code.

No it does not
But it does mean he had a legal right to be there

I am supporting the rule of law.quote:
Can you point me in the direction of the law that says its legal to engage in rioting while armed?

I would wager that the jury was made up solely of hard core leftists by design

In your mind, is jaywalking the same thing as swarming a car and beating on it? Because around here jaywalking usually involves avoiding cars, not surrounding them.

Ah yes, the fake lawyer that thinks rittenhouse committed murder, the mccloskeys destroyed their own gate, 9/11 was the result of US isolationism, conservatives are obsessed with wakanda, etc. has now entered the thread to defend this latest example of political persecution. This time by equivocating a mob of protestors illegally blocking a public road and surrounding a vehicle with jaywalking.

Guy gets back from a timeout and just immediately empties his diaper all over a thread where a violent a-hole threatened the wrong person. It's almost impressive.

It’s reverse jury nullification and you know it, Hank. You can look at the picture of the mob surrounding his car and a gun being pointed at him. The elements needed for the affirmative defense are there. You know it and I know it. You are just playing devils advocate. You’re not an idiot like Texridder. Just stop.

I’m of the opinion that Hank is a leftist parading as a libertarian. I would wager s moon pie that his legal background includes stints associated with either the ACLU or Southern Poverty Law Center.
