Since we're still chatting about it a lot, some of the jurors are speaking, and they're in the same place a lot of us are. -- (link) - TFox Jul 7, 08:04 15

  - Can she be tried for some kind of improper disposal of a body charge or something? -- nm - mara Jul 7, 08:14 4
    - [deleted] 2
      - They might not have had her story at that point. My impression was the opening statement was the first anyone heard of it. But maybe that's just when - mara Jul 7, 08:18 1
        
        maybe if they charged her with that, they were acknowledging her story was true? -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 08:21
    - [deleted]
  - aggravated manslaughter was on the list of charges she was found not guilty of (as was aggravated child abuse). - ty97 Jul 7, 08:12 2

  - When I write the musical about the trial, one song will be "Capital Murder Is a Capital Idea" -- nm - nubby Jul 7, 08:11

    - Juror #2 was saying they didn't even have enough to get her on involuntary manslaughter. - loosilu Jul 7, 08:12

Holy heck, I had forgotten how much of the famous Gretchen Mol Vanity Fair cover shot was nipple. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Jul 7, 08:02 5
- If it's possibly NSFW, it might not work well as an Amazon link, since they get displayed here. -- nm - mara Jul 7, 08:05 4
  - he's right about the nips. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 08:05 3
    - Knowing enough Blind Items that she has been linked to, I would think that there would be an interesting movie in her life circa 1995-2000-whatever. - Name Withheld By Request Jul 7, 08:07 1
      - it might be the first project she's linked to that makes any money. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 08:09

If you watched HBO's documentary Hot Coffee, interesting story on Jamie Leigh Jones and her rape case against KBR/Halliburton (nmbl) - Brian Jul 7, 07:46 3
- [deleted]
- Watched it the other night (very interesting fwiw). Disgusting that she could lose. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 7, 07:49
- I listened to an interview with the director, which was mostly about the coffee. -- nm - psilotum Jul 7, 07:47
LIR: It always puzzles me how some people who say they support free markets get angry when people get paid lots of money for doing despicable things -- nm - con_carne Jul 7, 07:44 1

What I took from B1 - Margaritas! -- nm - Diva Jul 7, 07:42
LYC: I heard my first Eddie Vedder uke track this morning. Perhaps my first Eddie Vedder track, I don't know. My first thought: Maybe electronic pitch - mara Jul 7, 07:39 31
- (also, you've never heard a Pearl Jam song before?) -- nm - TFox Jul 7, 07:51 11
  - I don't really have a way to know for sure. May have heard one without knowing who it was. May have known but paid no attention. Etc. -- nm - mara Jul 7, 07:53 10
    - you'd like the Into the Wild stuff - I bet -- nm - Epiphany Jul 7, 07:54 7
      - Just Breathe is a wonderful, lovely song as well. -- nm - TFox Jul 7, 08:01 6
        
        ~Oh, I'm a lucky man to count on both hands the ones I love~ -- nm - Epiphany Jul 7, 08:05
        
        It's in my top 5 songs for the very end. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 7, 08:05 3
        
        the version from the show we went to is stunning. its one of the best translated to recording performances from that night. -- nm - TFox Jul 7, 08:11 2
        
        we really did see a good show... - Mel Profit Jul 7, 08:14 1
        
        from now on, i want to request seats where we can see the guy signing the show. - TFox Jul 7, 08:15
        
        Yes. Though I still prefer most of their classics from back in the day. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 7, 08:02
    - To the turntable room! -- nm - psilotum Jul 7, 07:53 1
      - I will have to educate her. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 7, 08:00

  - Heh. -- nm - mara Jul 7, 07:51
- He's playing 2 nights of Uke songs here later this month (tour?). -- nm - psilotum Jul 7, 07:43 7
  - You should go. I saw him last night. he does PJ and Into the Wild songs too, on guitar. Mike McCready did Yellow Ledbetter with him for the final - jnine Jul 7, 07:55 6
    - Nice. I see them on this tour in September. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 7, 08:02 3
      - Whoops. Didn't realize this was the Eddie-only show you were talking about. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 7, 08:08 2
        
        Odd they're touring Canada, but nor rhe US. Alrhough I keep hearing rumors of a Fenway show. -- nm - jnine Jul 7, 08:22 1
        
        First Canadian tour since 2005. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 7, 08:26
    - already sold out. I would love to see him, though. -- nm - psilotum Jul 7, 07:56 1
      - He has a lot of fun up there on his own. He interacts with the audience a lot since there's no band to talk too. He's funny too. Less drinking than - jnine Jul 7, 08:04
- but... he has a great voice. -- nm - TFox Jul 7, 07:42 3
  - I'd be fine with his voice if he were singing on key. -- nm - mara Jul 7, 07:44 2
    - That's not his thing. -- nm - Amy Jul 7, 07:46
    - huh. that would surprise me. -- nm - TFox Jul 7, 07:45
- I did not know this existed, but my interest is piqued. I'll look later. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 07:40 4
  - Lots of articles out there on it. NPR's is pretty good. -- (link) - mara Jul 7, 07:42 3 1
    - thanks! what about punk uke, have you heard any of that? -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 07:42 2
      - Nope. -- nm - mara Jul 7, 07:44 1
        
        I heard an NPR story about the genre a few years ago. sounded much, much different than I expected. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 07:45
mara was right. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 07:39 7
- that was completely how it read to me too, fwiw....nm - x Jul 7, 07:43 6
  - yes - haters goin hate - Epiphany Jul 7, 07:53 4

    - "alligators gonna alligate" -- nm - prayformojo Jul 7, 07:56
  - thanks. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 07:43
it's always good when dane decides to bring the ruckus. -- nm - TFox Jul 7, 07:37 49
- In this case, I actually see what I think he's trying to say. Yes, she was found guilty, so she is a criminal...but I think his point was more - Jim Jul 7, 07:39 48
  - here a charge of false statement would never be considdered in a mourder case - Danedukenuuk Jul 7, 07:41 47
    - By obstructing and lying, she corrupted the entire investigation. And if she truly didn't do it...then her actions basically allowed a killer to get - Jim Jul 7, 07:43 18
      - Why do you assume it was a murder and not accidental? -- nm - mara Jul 7, 07:45 16
        
        You must have missed the post where I said I didn't know much about the case. - Jim Jul 7, 07:58
        
        why is this important unless people want to play jury again on someone who was freed of this? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 7, 07:56 1
        
        I was just asking Jim what his reasoning was. -- nm - mara Jul 7, 07:58
        
        i think people rarely get their mouths duct taped shut accidentally. -- nm - TFox Jul 7, 07:46 12
        
        I have this image of them taping her mouth shut to keep her quiet and then ignoring her while she plays by the pool. I mean, it's still "accidental" - Amy Jul 7, 07:57
        
        I guess I assumed they were trying to make it look like a murder, but maybe that doesn't make sense, since they didn't then report it. -- nm - mara Jul 7, 07:48
        
        could be post mortem. - loosilu Jul 7, 07:47 9
        
        Could be a lot of things, but you don't duct tape an accidental death for any reason that's not crazy. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 7, 07:48 7
        
        c'mon, maybe you didn't want the soul to escape the body....nm - x Jul 7, 07:53 1
        
        *squeezes through your tear ducts* -- nm - Casper the Friendly Ghost Jul 7, 07:54
        
        I totally agree. But the medical examiner could not give a conclusive cause of death. - loosilu Jul 7, 07:49
        
        Oh, I never considered these people to be mentally healthy. -- nm - mara Jul 7, 07:49 3
        
        I never thought of them as it either...but nothing here screams to me a legal mentally ill - Will Hunting Jul 7, 07:51 2
        
        No, I didn't mean legally insane. Legally sane people do irrational things. -- nm - mara Jul 7, 07:54
        
        all logic points to a murder, not a drowning. But logic != evidence. - loosilu Jul 7, 07:53
        
        well, sure. there would be no point, as dead people don't scream, but sure. -- nm - TFox Jul 7, 07:48
      - true -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 7, 07:44
    - So, really, just lie to the cops...that's not important unless they can get the murder conviction. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 7, 07:42 2
      - if she was charged with somthing lesser it would become more important - Danedukenuuk Jul 7, 07:46
      - talk about wasting time. how much time/money was spent because of her lies? -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 07:43
    - how is it a waste of time? -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 07:41 24
      - the sentence of the charge (the main charge) is way bigger then the sentence of the other - Danedukenuuk Jul 7, 07:44 23
        
        that's not at all the point. There was always the possibility that she would be found guilty of only some of the charges (as actually happened). - loosilu Jul 7, 07:46 7
        
        sure here we require the state to start a curt process if the think they can win the main charge - Danedukenuuk Jul 7, 07:50 6
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        there are a lot of differences pointing them out is part an explanation of why i have my oppinions this is requested constantly by posters - Danedukenuuk Jul 7, 08:05 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        it not critizem it is information - Danedukenuuk Jul 7, 08:12
        
        And I'm sure the prosecution here went into this thinking they had a loser. Are you kidding me? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 7, 07:52
        
        with a trial of this size and visibility, it makes no sense to do multiple trials. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 07:51
        
        [deleted] 14
        
        better??? hard to judge is different but in this case it seems - Danedukenuuk Jul 7, 07:47 13
        
        [deleted] 7
        
        life in prison versus one year is the overkill point -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 7, 07:54 6
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        they don't??? the judge don't expalin the consequenses of charges before the trial starts? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 7, 08:00 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        but they do know the carges and the possible sentences? - Danedukenuuk Jul 7, 08:14 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        i don't think thats the case here - Danedukenuuk Jul 7, 08:23
        
        honest question: how familiar are you with what you're talking about (casey anthony)? -- nm - TFox Jul 7, 07:48 4
        
        read a few articles but the cas itself is not the real question - Danedukenuuk Jul 7, 07:51 3
        
        i think you maybe don't appreciate what the "lying to police" charges entail in this case. - TFox Jul 7, 07:52 2
        
        did i say it was ? if so that was an error it was stupid and it was tried and she found gulty which i allready said - Danedukenuuk Jul 7, 07:59
        
        right, it resulted in probably thousands of man-hours wasted. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 07:54
Playstation 4 coming 2012 -- (link) - Beaker Jul 7, 07:36 2
- I give the story a believability rating of 2/10. For starters, they're confusing the PSN with the Playstation Store. -- nm - Ender Jul 7, 07:53
- without any online capability????? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 7, 07:37

nubby, from b2: people have generally reacted to it in mixed ways. - TFox Jul 7, 07:35 4
- And, if nubs turns it down he'll be "that guy". Not only will people be divided on the "fairness" but the people who keep theirs will feel all guilty -- nm - Amy Jul 7, 07:45 3
  - No one would know. -- nm - nubby Jul 7, 07:54
  - also, by what mechanism is he going to turn it down? - TFox Jul 7, 07:47 1
    - I'd tell the dean to remove me from consideration. -- nm - nubby Jul 7, 07:54

Roll it before training -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 7, 07:31 2
- Fox training? :) -- nm - nubby Jul 7, 07:32 1
  - Nope, computer program training. If I'm a fox, I'm doing the worst job ever walking you all through the logic presented. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 7, 07:33
