Read a random definition: descriptive comparative law

A quick definition of accompt:

Accompt is an old-fashioned word that means "accounting." It's used to describe keeping track of money and transactions between people or businesses. When someone owes money to another person, they might be asked to provide an accompt to show how much they owe. It's important to be accountable for your actions and to keep accurate records of your financial dealings.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Accompt is an archaic spelling of the word "account." It refers to a detailed statement of financial transactions between parties in a fiduciary relationship, such as an agent and a principal. The purpose of an account is to ascertain and recover the balance due, which can only be maintained when there is an obligation to account and the amount due is uncertain and unliquidated.

Examples:

The principal filed an action for account against his agent to recover the balance due for goods or money received in a fiduciary capacity.
The contractor filed an action for account against the nonpaying customer to ascertain and recover the balance due for services rendered.

These examples illustrate how an account is used to recover the balance due in a fiduciary relationship where the amount is uncertain and unliquidated.

Too public of a case, they have to go hard on the dude and in a couple years when people forget I am sure he can apply and get a lesser sentence or possibility of parole added. Dude needs to blame all the self medication he did

snow

12:13

that works in his favor that the case is public, at least this case. thats why i think the state shouldnt be scared to bust the jury if they really want to get him

@snow: I don't know what you mean by "bust the jury"

Unrepentant-Caucasian

Can you elaborate?

I also do not forsee him being the kind of person being able to function and be good in prison. Going to be a wake up call

He thinks his back is broke now... wait until Bubbah shows him what a broke back really is

snow

yep, in jury selection you get a panel of jurors come in and from there you eliminate the ones that you dont want, until you get twelve. "busting the jury panel" means that there wouldnt be enough jurors to form a jury for the case so they would have to get another panel

uw sending cycle update emails when they've had me in complete for 2 months is crazy work

snow

12:17

so if i were the state, i wouldnt be scared to go through multiple panels to get a good jury. the judge would probs be mad but oh well

windyMagician

12:18

he'll be fine in prison. he also probably has a fed case being built against him.

I imagine getting a non-biased jury will be very hard

snow

12:18

thats why the state shouldnt be scared to go through multiple panels. the judge would probs get mad but its your case to prove

Unrepentant-Caucasian

12:18

That makes sense. It's a plus for the state as well, since it's not like they're going to let him make bail. Any time up to the trial he'll just spend in jail

windyMagician

12:19

they got unbiased panels for Nikolas Cruz and Daniel Penny, it'll be fine

snow

12:19

yeah, but I think those were capital cases

snow

12:19

jury selection is different for capital cases

windyMagician

12:19

Daniel penny was not a capital case

@windyMagician: I would say depends the prison, I have met a lot of golden spoon children who could not handle the strictness of the military and lack of freedom. So many attempted suicides. I am sure prison is much worse

snow

12:20

ohh the subway guy, my b

windyMagician

12:20

not tryna be racist but he just needs to stick with the italians

BulbasaurNoLikeCardio

12:21

I do not believe they found a truly un-biased case for Daniel Penny. Finding someone in new york who hasn't been in a subway cart while criming is happening? Idk the statistic of those who witness or are victims of crimes on subway carts but I am sure it is very high

windyMagician

12:21

that's a good thing. juries should be biased in favor of the defense.

Unrepentant-Caucasian

12:21

Honestly, that would be an incredible arc. Goes to NYS prison, gets taken under the wing of some geriatric wiseguys, then gets out and re-starts the Mob

snow

12:21

in theory yes, the defense did really good with that jury

windyMagician

12:22

we have a presumption of innocence in this country, time to start acting like it

BulbasaurNoLikeCardio

12:22

@windyMagician: I can agree with that, makes it more of a jury of peers if they have been in the same shit show

snow

12:22

YES, im so tired of sitting through jury selection and people not understanding that a jury trial isnt an argument between two sides. its one side trying to prove without a reasonable doubt that someone did what they are accused of
