Read a random definition: over-the-counter market

A quick definition of challenge for cause:

A challenge for cause is when someone asks to remove a possible juror from a trial because they have a specific reason that might make them unfair. Some reasons could be that they know one of the people involved, they already have an opinion about the case, or they can't serve because of a mental illness. The judge decides if the person should be removed or not.

A more thorough explanation:

A challenge for cause is a request made by either the prosecution or defense to disqualify a potential juror for specific reasons. These reasons may include:

  • Acquaintanceship with either of the parties
  • Prior knowledge that would prevent impartial evaluation of the evidence presented in court
  • Bias or obvious prejudice
  • Inability to serve, such as being seriously mentally ill

The judge will determine whether the person should be dismissed from the jury pool based on the reasons presented.

For example, if a potential juror knows one of the parties involved in the case personally, they may be challenged for cause because their relationship could potentially influence their decision-making. Similarly, if a potential juror has already formed an opinion about the case based on prior knowledge or media coverage, they may be challenged for cause because they may not be able to evaluate the evidence presented in court objectively.

Overall, a challenge for cause is an important tool for ensuring that the jury is composed of individuals who can make impartial decisions based solely on the evidence presented in court.

I have been on the receiving/hurt end thinking it was exclusive when I was just her human dildo and it makes you feel bad.

The whole having a group of hot chick friends you can flirt with while going out is great. Makes for a fun and safer environment when drinking.

I love my hot chick friends. Don't know where I would be without them

Crazy story, I had dinner with the dad of a friend of mine and he just openly went on Tinder in front of me and the other guys. Later my mom ran into him with another woman (not his wife/friend's mom) and he got very uncomfortable and never texted her again
15:15
I can't imagine what it's like being a cheater or like a serial dater. Shit seems so nervewracking

My wife and I have great and open communication but one night she kept asking me why this girl is blowing up my phone with messages/pictures so I showed her... she got a new puppy and got drunk so had her puppy doing a fashion shoot at 11pm.

I keep my dating very clean and above board. No overlaps, no ambiguities. If you want to go into some sort of public office in the future it's good to be smart about things like that
babycat

So many politicians have sex scandals and that's how they get blackmailed and other people have power over them. I mean of course there are ethical and emotional issues too but it's literally just smart to not be a cheater

I would never go into public office as it drags in your family as well. Dating is so much easier then some people make it out to be and it is not that hard to not cheat. I would always tell my soldiers to rub one out before making a big decision so they arent acting dumb
