Louisianas nonunanimous jury. On paper with a full breath of the jury trial right but the ruling needs to be put into perspective this ruling the ending or adjudicated it meant nothing to serving a life sentence for work that would be illegal everywhere else but louisianas only place that would you for life on a nonunanimous verdict. The question before the court is why should the fifth amendment mean something less us members of the court were divided on how to reconcile the fracture decision this had clear as to have a remedy for those of the jury scheme that was morally wrong at its inception and unconstitutional. They havent no president ial value this is an old rule and an accident for the six amendment full measure with the due process clause or the privileges or immunities clause of the 14th amendment. With such a long a decision to be explicitly for those members of the court should be a watershed and restores for fairness and accuracy to the jury trials in louisiana. And those
But before we get to that, lets kick it off with a fun crime story thats out of this world. And now that i hear that, it probably sounded like it has something to do with outer space, which it doesnt. No, its not out of this world. Its pretty cool, though. A wild chase worthy of the big screen. The suspect in a multimillion dollar ponzi scheme tried to escape the feds under the water of lake shasta. The u. S. Attorneys office says mathew percy took off in his truck when the f. B. I. Showed up at his home and eventually jumped on a sea scooter, a device that propels people up to 100 feet under water. Well, agents eventually spotted his bubbles and waited him out. When he finally came out, they cuffed him. Trevor man, there is so much i love about this story. First of all, i love how the guy had the sea scooter ready, like, he knew he was going to have to outrun the feds at some point. Thats going to be a hard one to explain to the judge. Not guilty, your honor although, yes, i did try t
Historic preservation as well as the original designer for the course. Professor henry holds a ba from the university of william and mary. She holds a phd from the university of maryland at college park. Her Research Interests focus on the concept of place making and social justice issues in the display of historic preservation. In addition, professor henry is focusing on roadside architecture, which dovetails nicely with this class. Prof. Henry good morning everyone. It is great to see you. Thank you so much. So, this is what i think of when i think of a road trip. The open road. All semester, you all have been studying all kinds of themes of the freedom of the road, of who is allowed to travel when and where. Travel as a process, rather than a destination. The mythology of the car and car in American Society and roadside architecture in the 20 century. Today, i am going to tell you a story that ties those themes together. This morning, it is going to be about a quest to find a magica
Imagine if i started learning ference today, and eight months after practicing, i dont speak french. And i think its a little insane that these restrictions are just now happening. Because weve known the importance of wearing a mask for months, and some states are just now putting a mask mandate into place. Only now . This is like hosting a pool party, and then in the last ten minutes saying okay, new rule no shitting in the pool. Yeah looking at you, david i mean, better late than never, but thats some shit floating around. But this is why it is so important to always wear a mask in public spaces. You can protect your loved ones and your whole community with a 3 strip of fabric, people. You have no excuse. And maybe youre saying, but trevor, im a rich snob. I would never wear something that only costs 3. Well, now you have no excuse, either. Who says staying safe cant also be a fashion statement . The worlds most expensive face mask now making its debut. The 1. 5 million mask was crea
Second, comprehensive. In covering not just the voyage for the first few years, working philips war, all of which have recently been done, but in covering the entire story, allowing us, the readers, to enjoy the true benefits of history, which is the scope, to follow consequences of actions through generations. Narratives, because what nat does best is to tell a story. An adventure story, but in many ways, and unexpected adventure story. Look at the cover. I of course love it because it is our painting, the mayflower on her arrival in plymouth harbor. Thathat i really love is even though the book is entitled the mayflower, this cover doesnt put the mayflower front and center, it doesnt show a by waves. D that would be the expected adventure story. Instead, it focuses on this little group of pilgrims leaving the ship that has brought them through peril, headed off toward the shore on the verge of starting new lives. And it is there in the territory of these wideopen possibilities that t
