Definition: Dubitante (d[y]oo-bi-tan-tee) is a Latin term that means doubting.

This term is usually used in a law report next to a judge's name, indicating that the judge doubted a legal point but was unwilling to state that it was wrong.

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

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

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

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

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

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

unrelated but my gym crush date was fucking weird. had a great convo, didn't hug me at the end tho, then says he'll text me and doesn't? girl I'm too old for ghosting
If he wanted to he would girl
Don't give him the benefit of the doubt
windyMagician
12:24
why we're still acting like this at nearly 30 years old I do not know
Although I can respect the not hugging part after a gym date. When I'm finished with lifting, I have an incredibly potent odor that could overpower a delicate female
So I try to keep my distance
windyMagician
12:26
oh it wasn't a gym date it was dinner lmfao
windyMagician
12:26
but he was my crush from the gym
Understood. His behavior is unforgiveable and you should egg his car.

windyMagician

I need to add some important context here: he used to date my ex's coworker

Oh that is pretty cool way for a gym relationship to start lol and not hugging is weird, I always hug the homies even when it is that bro hand shake/high 5 hug.
Even Bumble doesn't make the girlies message first anymore. The people have spoken and they said "Guys have to make the first move now"

maybe I'm just too hot and I'm intimidating the hoes

I follow/ed the rule that who ever is on when the match is made is who has to send the first message
