  • That's not for the court to do. That he was charged and convicted of terrorism is. The fact that he's a fascist and did this to forward those politics was surely the basis of the terroism charge and conviction.

    This story, though, won't see wide publication. Hell, I wasn't even aware of it until just now, in the wake of his conviction - not when it happened. And there's absolutely a lot of people who will just wave it off as "Oh he was a crazy loner." (Yeah, that's the fucking point, of course; the fascists are crazy.)

  • “Notably, he continued to provide significant emotional and financial support to … Justin, even into his 30s, as Justin struggled with unemployment and finding his path,” Schorn’s office said of Michael.

    Oh, he found his path. It was just a really shitty path.

  • Fine. Since I'm apparently "rude," I'll elaborate.

    Your wife goes missing. As the spouse, you are the prime suspect. The police are far less interested in finding your wife than they are in arresting the person they think is responsible for your wife's being missing. They are going to interrogate you, in one of those tiny rooms with no windows where they put themselves between you and the door, and get more and more inside your personal space. For hours, and they're going to treat you as though you are guilty, because they want you to confess to a crime. They want you to incriminate yourself.

    You're already super stressed about your wife being missing, maybe you're wondering where your kids are and the stress they're under. Do you have a dead solid alibi? Are you sure? The police are allowed to lie to you; you are not allowed to lie to them. Are you certain you won't even misspeak? Because what you consider a mistake, they will consider a lie, and that makes you even more a suspect. Are there any other uncomfortable facts in your life? Affairs, money trouble, arguments, drugs? Is anyone undocumented? All that shit is about to come out, all that shit will be used against you.

    Are you mentally capable of navigating this situation, where there's a real chance of your being imprisoned for who knows how long? No, you are not.

    Unless you want to load more trouble on top of the trouble that's already there, you will not speak to the police without your lawyer present.

  • Call from a burner phone and give an anonymous report. Even then, if you have the slightest connection with the victim, you will be questioned, and you should shut the fuck up.

    Investigators are looking for someone to arrest, prosecutors are looking for someone to charge, and courts are looking for someone to convict. Whether that person is actually culpable is irrelevant.

  • Blood spatter analysis isn't quite as nonsense as the rest.

    If blood is found underneath an object, you know that the blood got there first, and the object second. If you find a drop of blood among a bunch of fine mist, you may be able to predict that the fine mist is blood from a victim after a gunshot, while the drop might be from someone else, possibly the perpetrator.

    Of course there are other observations which are misinterpreted, but the fact remains that blood spatter follows the laws of physics; therefore, it is possible to discover factual information from observing it.

  • Blood spatter analysis isn't quite as nonsense as the rest. There are definitely factual conclusions that can be made based on where blood is found and how it is distributed or shaped.

    Polygraph tests are an interrogation tool. While the "results" they produce directly are nonsense, they can be used as a lever to pressure a suspect to confess to a crime - with disregard as to whether they actually committed said crime. People who undergo polygraphs are also known to unload new information immediately after the "test" is over.

    Remember, police are allowed to lie to you; you are not allowed to lie to the police. Shut the fuck up. Lawyer.
