As I read about the California socialite, Rebecca Grossman, who was sentenced to 15 years to life for the hit-and-run deaths of two young brothers, my heart aches with a mix of anger and sorrow. The sheer negligence and recklessness displayed in her actions on that fateful day cannot be understated. Driving at over 80 mph in a 45 mph zone, hitting the brakes only moments before striking the young boys, and then fleeing the scene, leaving devastation in her wake – these are the actions of a callous and despicable individual.
I am appalled by the lack of remorse shown by Grossman throughout this entire ordeal.… Continue reading
The recent revelation that Supreme Court Justices have received a whopping $6.6 million in gifts is nothing short of shocking. As a hardworking individual myself, I find it absolutely appalling that while I am not even allowed to accept a glass of water in the workplace, those in positions of immense power and influence are being showered with millions of dollars in “gifts”. It’s hypocritical, it’s corrupt, and it undermines the very foundation of the legal system in our country.
It is disheartening to realize that the highest unelected authorities in our nation, who are supposed to uphold justice and act as impartial arbiters, are entangled in a web of bribery and deceit.… Continue reading
“My juror”: Trump believed a loyalist on the jury could save him, until the very end.
Personal insights and opinions come flooding in as I dive into the incredibly perplexing situation surrounding Donald Trump and his undying belief in the power of loyalty. Trump’s reliance on a loyalist on the jury to save him from the consequences of his actions is not only delusional but also indicative of a man who has lost touch with reality. The mere idea of calling a jury member “my juror” speaks volumes about Trump’s possessiveness and entitlement, viewing people as nothing more than tools at his disposal.… Continue reading
At first, the thought of convicted felon Donald Trump going to jail seemed like a far-off fantasy, a wishful thinking scenario that would never come to fruition. However, as the details of his convictions on 34 accounts in less than 3 days emerged, the possibility no longer seemed so far-fetched. The fact that his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, received a 3-year sentence for charges related to Trump’s actions certainly raises questions about whether the former president will face similar consequences.
The question of whether Trump will go to jail hinges on a myriad of factors, including his lack of remorse, contempt for the legal system, and multiple prior felony charges.… Continue reading
I cannot wrap my head around the audacity and entitlement of Donald Trump. The fact that he wants Republicans to pass a law to keep him out of jail forever speaks volumes about his guilt. Innocent people do not need blanket protection against prosecution. If he truly believes he has done nothing wrong, why the desperate need for this kind of immunity?
It is appalling to think that a former president is so fixated on evading accountability for his actions that he is actively seeking ways to shield himself from the consequences of his behavior. The idea that Trump is convinced state prosecutors will come after him even after a potential second term is both concerning and telling.… Continue reading
It is truly mind-boggling to me how high-stake cases involving potential criminal activity can be handled by individuals who are so obviously tied to the accused. The recent revelations in the case involving Trump’s classified documents raise serious concerns about the integrity of the legal system. Allowing someone with such clear biases to preside over a case of this magnitude is a blatant disregard for justice and fairness.
The delays and slow-walking of the trial by a judge appointed by Trump only add fuel to the fire. Legal analysts are worried that these tactics could be a way to effectively dismiss the trial altogether.… Continue reading
The recent call by AOC for a Senate inquiry into the flags flown at Samuel Alito’s homes is a wake-up call for all Americans concerned about the integrity of our highest court. The fact that a Supreme Court justice is associated with insurrectionist-linked flags is not just a matter of personal expression; it goes to the heart of the functioning of our democracy. The lack of any ethics rules for the Supreme Court is a glaring gap in our system, one that can no longer be ignored.
It is disheartening to realize that despite the clear evidence of unethical behavior, the chances of Alito facing any consequences are slim.… Continue reading
The recent news about the warrant application against Israeli leaders being deemed “outrageous” by President Joe Biden has sparked quite a debate. Biden’s clear stance on the matter highlights the lack of equivalence between Israel and Hamas when it comes to threats to security and actions taken. It is undeniable that the two entities are not on the same level in terms of actions and consequences.
When looking at the situation with a critical lens, it becomes evident that even if one party is “less bad” than the other, they can still be held accountable for their actions. The idea of equivalence should not be a requirement when it comes to addressing potential war crimes.… Continue reading
The recent incident in the courtroom during the Trump defense witness testimony is not only a display of disrespect but also a testament to the extent to which Trump and his loyalists will go to undermine the legal system. The judge’s swift action in clearing the courtroom and reprimanding the witness for his behavior speaks volumes about the importance of upholding decorum and respect within the justice system.
It is unsettling to witness individuals, especially a defense witness who is an attorney, show such blatant disregard for the authority of the court. The audacity to roll eyes, sigh heavily, and mutter under his breath in response to the judge’s rulings is not only unprofessional but also disrespectful to the entire legal process.… Continue reading
The recent decision by the Texas board to recommend a pardon for ex-Army Sergeant Daniel Perry, who was convicted of killing a Black Lives Matter protester, has sparked outrage and controversy. Perry fatally shot 28-year-old Garrett Foster, an Air Force veteran who was legally carrying an AK-47 while participating in a protest. Perry’s disturbing social media posts and text messages, which included racist and violent remarks, further paint a dark picture of his character. Despite being convicted of murder, Perry has now been pardoned by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, raising serious concerns about justice, accountability, and the value of human life.… Continue reading
