Want to argue about politics? Healthcare reform? Taxes? Governments? You've come to the right place!

Second, she would have to serve 50% of the actual sentence*, then request a hearing for parole.
*The caveat is that there is a 30 year maximum --- so if she had been sentenced to 99 years, the maximum she would have to wait for an opportunity for parole would be 30 years.Last edited by Cow Poke; 10-02-2019, 04:21 PM.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Either way, the Minion thing was just about the least offensive thing posted there. Why are we getting fixated on that and overlooking the other stuff she posted?"I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Good luck

Most Pinterest users are posting for their own use - I have literally thousands of posts where I just want the picture so I can try the idea myself later. Most users are using it as a picture bookmarker."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

If they go that route, probably the charge of murder would be the basis."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

Victim Impact statements are about to begin.
Guyger will be required to sit and respectfully listen to the statements from Jean's family and friends (whoever the prosecution had requested prior to trial)
She is not required to respond, but may be allowed to do so.
First witness impact statement is pretty impressive - young man saying that he can forgive her, she can go to God and ask forgiveness, he loves her and wants the best for her.... and she needs to give her life to Christ.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The young man asked the judge if he could give Guyger a hug, and the judge is allowing it --- they're hugging it out.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
