It's all your fault. Jk
Right
It's all your fault. Jk
Maybe that's what he did! He fainted and while he was lying there unconscious, someone ELSE must have done this to Mollie!!Physically passing out. To this day I explain it as cartoons we saw as children: The black started at the bottom of my eyes and when it reached the top, I was on the ground. I could see the black slowly taking over my vision. There is no way (from my experience) if you truly blackout, you can commit a crime.
I think you may be right. Depends where you live too.RightBut I should have specified because to him they may sound the same. And I think even English speakers may often confuse the two.
Right. The point is we all know what it means when someone has a blackout. I wasn't trying to justify it, just trying to explain for those who may not have a large Hispanic population. People were confused about it, so I offerred my opinion, that's all. I'm curious how they will explain just what a " blockout" is in court.
The affidavit quotes him as saying "blocked" his "memory" and he didn't remember anything after that until the cornfield. That sounds to me like he said, and they interpreted him to say, that he blocked out of/from his memory what had happened.Right. The point is we all know what it means when someone has a blackout.

Right, but I think what we are saying is it means that he experienced a " blackout". Since he describes it as something that happens as a result of trauma. Someone pointed out that people used the phrase interchangeably.Per the affidavit, he "blocked" out his "memory", which is what he does when he gets really upset.

Right, that's exactly what it would sound like he is saying since he pronounced the words differently. That's probably why they put it parenthesis.The affidavit quotes him as saying "blocked" his "memory" and he didn't remember anything after that until the cornfield.

I think we're going in circles because as I said, he had a translator for whatever he said. And we have no idea if he spoke in English, Spanish, or both or how he pronounces things.Right, that's exactly what it would sound like he is saying since he pronounced the words differently.
Yes, I understand!! We discussed it at length the other day! You don't remember? ( Are you having a" black out" or have you blocked it from your memory ?) It means the same thing.. People just say it in different ways.He's claiming that Mollie really upset him, and when he's really upset his memory doesn't work. Therefore, he remembers nothing between the time that she really upset him and the moment he discovered an earbud on his lap.

I was just trying to help, as I said. I'm not sure why it is you keep replying to me, I'm actually trying really hard to follow along with other people's scenarios right now, that's where my interest is right now, so if you don't mind I'm going to move on, not trying to be rude, I'm just falling far behindI think we're going in circles because as I said, he had a translator for whatever he said.

Where is trauma mentioned?
Mine too. Or when someone is intoxicated and has no recollection of what they did.This is the new Impala or is it a Malibu, thanks to me. I originally wondered when he was forming his faux alibi if he even understood the difference between the two words as native speakers often confuse them. In the long run it probably doesn't matter, but I'm curious how is lawyer will run with it. Because in my experience a true blackout means you fainted.

If I can just ask you, at what point do they write up an affidavit? (If you know) do they do it at the exact time of the arrest and do we know the time? I can't see it, it's so tiny. Or can they just write it up some time after the fact, like the next day?Not sure what you mean.
In the affidavit, it says that Mollie said that she was going to call police.
"Rivera said he then panicked and got mad and that he then "blocked" his "memory" which is what he does when he gets very upset and ..."
It seems very clear that Rivera claims that Mollie threatened him with calling police, he got mad, he blocked his memory, and his memory became unblocked when he saw the earbud on his lap.
