Re-opening the thread now.
Okay -
Not okay under any circumstances -

You guys have the power here! Realize that!
It is up to y'all if this discussion thread remains open while court is dark. June 30th is 5 weeks away. If this thread can't remain civil, it will be closed until trial resumes.
Okay, let's try this again.

Okay -
- Discuss the evidence.
- Discuss witness testimony.
- Opine about how the outcome of OP's psych eval may affect the verdict and/or sentencing.
- Discuss applicable law as it pertains to this case and be willing to provide links to support your assertion.
Not okay under any circumstances -
- Reference any removed post, either overtly or in a veiled manner. They're gone. The End.
- Discuss other members.
- Personally attack any other member. "Address the post, not the poster." Save the snark. It's not attractive or productive to any discussion.
- Reference any postings made on any social media outlet made by other members. MSM ONLY with very few exceptions and those exceptions need to first be approved by a moderator.
Further -
- Post respectfully.
- Practice tolerance. In a forum such as WS, opinions are going to differ. That's a fact. Accept it.
- Be willing to be open-minded. There are a lot of bright minds here and everyone can learn something you may have not previously considered if you're willing to listen. We all want to be heard or we wouldn't be here.
- It's good practice to "preview" your posts before clicking "submit reply". Read and re[read. If in doubt that your post may not be respectful, edit and review again. Keep in mind is it probably not a good choice to type everything you're thinking. Previewing posts has saved many a poster from a TO (including myself
)
