Is it not an option anymore to āreassignā a head coach to golf course maintenance director or something? Then if they want to leave they have to negotiate a buyout? I assume agents have figured out how to prevent that in the contracts.
My favorite exchange was when they were lamenting the āticky-tackyā officiating because the receiver only stepped out of bounds a little bit before he caught it. I donāt think Iāve ever heard someone argue that it matters how much of your foot is out of bounds.
That is about sufficiency on appeal, not about jury instructions in trial. I donāt feel like explaining what that means to you. This is what I do for a living and you arenāt paying me.
You are wrong. Read Saxton for a good discussion of it. https://law.justia.com/cases/texas/court-of-criminal-appeals/1991/1404-89-4.html āThe effect of Subsection (d) is to require the state to disprove a defense beyond a reasonable doubt after the issue has been properly raised by the evidence. In other words, the defendant has the burden of producing evidence to raise a defense, but the prosecution has the final burden of persuasion to disprove it."ā
I am not an apologist for this kid or his Larper comrades. They are morons imo. Iām just trying to offer accurate legal info when 99% of people misunderstand and misrepresent the law.
Breaking the law doesnāt preclude self-defense. It just affects the ability to consider a possibility to retreat. It means you lose stand your ground law protection if you are breaking the law.
Insanity is a completely different doctrine. You are correct about an affirmative defense but self defense is not a true affirmative defense in that respect. It is in black and white in the penal code.
Well Iām board certified in criminal law in Texas, I have tried a dozen or so murders, and it is correct. It is also correct in Wisconsin. I checked.
The state has the burden of proof. The defendant doesnāt have to prove self-defense. It just has to be raised. The prosecution has to prove it wasnāt self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt. That is always the tall hill.
Iām about 4 years into a 30 year mortgage at 3.625 right now. Have about $250k outstanding principal. House value about $525k. Plan to stay in house for at least the next 15 years. Very good credit. 1) should I refi? I assume yes. 2) what rates could I get on a 15 year fixed? Closing costs? Any brokers feel free to PM me. Iām in Houston.
