As someone with c-ptsd, I could not disagree more. Victimizing others is NOT an aspect of PTSD, at least not an uncontrollable one. Abuse is not destiny, I will NEVER accept that as an excuse, nor accept it as my 'fate.' It's one reason abuse survivors don't like to come forward, because then...
This is likely an unpopular opinion, but I have even LESS sympathy for abusers who were themselves abused because they KNOW exactly the fear, shame and self-hatred their actions cause and they choose to do it anyway. I will never believe that anyone has an unalterable destiny to abuse a child...
Marrying a U.S. Citizen dies not automatically give you citizenship. You must still apply for it, and if you have done everything properly the process should go quicker as long as you meet the requirements. Examples of not doing things properly (not saying any of these apply here): entering...
The 5th amendment prevents the state from compelling you to testify to things that will incriminate YOU. It does not prevent you from being compelled to testify to things that incriminate others (and I believe that Georgia does not recognize spousal privilege in the death of a child.) So, as...
That is why he is not charged with 1st degree murder. He is charged with felony murder, which means that he caused a death during the commission of a felony (2nd degree child cruelty and IIRC, the sexting with a minor.) The state does not have to prove malice or intent, just that RH committed...
I don't agree with you. If you commit a felony, e.g. assault, rape, cruelty to children, home invasion, etc.and someone died due to your acts/non-acts then you are responsible. Explain how you aren't, please. Setting aside the 'eggshell' theory of torts which in any case argues to my side.
Yes. And less palatably but more relevant: if you sexually assault a child and the child dies as a result, or if you abuse a child and the child died as a result, or if you were responsible for a child but you ****ed off and let it starve (burn?) to death you are guilty of felony murder. This...
For example, in Georgia if you are just the getaway driver in a bank robbery and your partner shoots and kills a bank guard you can be charged with felony murder. If you do an armed robbery on someone and they die of a heart attack during your assault you can be charged with felony murder. If...
That's a thought, no argument here. However, the law on felony murder is still clear: even in the case of "oops! I totally didn't mean for someone to die!" If someone dies during your commission of a felony it's still felony murder. This, not a case of DA out to convict people randomly, it's...
Just wanted to mention that even if the state fails to prove intent, which would negate the 'malice murder' charge, there are still (I think) two charges of felony murder on the table, which do NOT require that the state shows that RH intended to kill Cooper, only that Cooper's death occurred...
I know lots of people say they never had the flu until they got a flu shot, but I have to really wonder: did they have the full-blown flu or a milder case perhaps somewhat ameliorated by the flu shot? I say this will all respect, but I have had a mild fever, etc. due to the flu shot and I have...
Early on, I believe LE said something about an app called Smack High which is designed to allow teenagers to connect. If this app has anything with location tracking such as 'find your friends' in Facebook it is possible he found these two teens on the app, realized they were nearby and went...
Well, *I* don't. But IMO if you are out running around with a gun looking for someone to hurt then it might occur to you to bring along a mask you already had for whatever reason.
