bare possibility

Read a random definition: defense attorney

A quick definition of bare possibility:

Bare possibility: This means something might happen or might not happen. It's like flipping a coin - it could land on heads or tails. It can also mean someone might get something in the future, but it's not certain. For example, if someone is supposed to inherit a house when their grandparent dies, but the grandparent is still alive, it's a bare possibility that they will get the house.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Bare possibility refers to a situation where there is a chance that something may or may not happen. It can also refer to a contingent interest in real or personal property.

  • Naked possibility: This is a situation where there is a mere chance or expectation that a person will acquire future property. For example, if someone conveys all rights to a future estate that is not yet in existence, the conveyance of a naked possibility is usually void for lack of subject matter.
  • Possibility coupled with an interest: This refers to an expectation that is recognized in law as an estate or interest. For instance, this can occur in an executory devise or in a shifting or springing use. This type of possibility can be sold or assigned.
  • Remote possibility: This is a limitation that is dependent on two or more facts or events that are contingent and uncertain. It is also known as a double possibility. For example, if someone leaves their property to their child, but only if the child graduates from college and gets married, this is a remote possibility.

These examples illustrate how bare possibility can refer to different situations where there is a chance that something may or may not happen. It can also refer to different types of interests in property that are contingent on certain conditions being met.

Wow... Luigi Mangione just pled Not Guilty. He has to be banking on a jury nullification play, right? Honestly voir dire will be the most impactful part of the trial by far, I can't imagine the defense can present any credible exculpatory evidence.
12:00
I think he just wants it to go to trial
12:00
make a show of it

they're charging him with terrorism, was he ever going to get a plea deal that was even remotely worth taking?

Dude wants to be famous and seen as a martyr this is his chance

i think they want to roll the dice
I can understand that, but that's exactly why I would offer him a halfway decent plea deal as the DA. Maybe offer 25 years at medium security, as opposed to being guaranteed to die at ADX Florence.

its a state case, right?
snow
12:06
not federal?
Oh yeah, my bad
snow
12:07
you're good, i was just making sure. yeah, i would take it to trial
snow
12:07
you just need one juror
snow
12:07
but i think that if i were the state, i would not be scared to bust the jury if i had to
I mean, you only need one juror to get a hung jury and a retrial, you need all 12 to get found innocent

I do not see him doing a long time, if he is not punished hard then more (less attractive) crazy people will come out and start murdering for social justice and expect the same

*him not doing a long time
snow
12:08
need to see what all he is charged with tbh
snow
12:09
and the possibility for parole in new york
snow
12:09
in texas murder is a 3g offense and he would have to do have that time before parole eligibility. idk how new york works

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"
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

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