It's a very relevant question.
Even illegal aliens have a right to defense counsel and due process. And if the government or ACLU was paying or if the attorney was doing it pro bono (for free), then that has nothing to do with the rape case.

Agreed and I'll say this. I've been practicing for almost fifteen years and never received a dime from any government organization, charity, or anyone else except for my clients in criminal and domestic cases and insurance companies in personal injury cases. I've done a ton of pro bono, some intentionally and some unintentionally. The unintentional pro bono has been increasing lately.

I'm (usually) on the other side in the court room, but I appreciate your posts and insight.

Did you get pro-boned? Bono-raped?

Is Tucker not understanding the law, or are you not understanding TV? Almost everything you complained about is good TV for his demographic. And how is he out of line asking for the fee? Just because you're not allowed to answer doesn't means others aren't allowed to ask. If the guy decides to get up on TV and raise questions about other people it's time to put on his big boy pants and be ready to deal with awkward questions himself.
Tucker was a history major. The other guy has a law degree.

Tucker asked something out of line with regards to fees between attorneys and clients, and then the lawyer respectfully and truthfully answered why the question was inappropriate.

The lawyer did fine. The attorney was never an ass to Tucker in any manner.

I have often wondered, is rape about power or pleasure, or both?


It's about using power to obtain pleasure. That much should be obvious.

The whole concept of it being about power and not sexuality is feminist projection. If it was only about power, then why the erection?

Feminists are all about power, and not fairness or equality or anything else.

They are speculating wildly, ie. projecting, when they talk about rapists, and that is that, as Jordan Peterson would say.

And I am not saying that there aren't power dynamics going on in the head of the rapist, I am only saying that feminists don't spend any time trying to figure out what is going on in the head of a rapist.

They want power, so they accuse others of wanting power, and it was ever thus.

"It's about power, not sex" is one of the more obvious feminist lies to anyone capable of critical thought. If it wasn't at least somewhat about sex, you would be pushing a rope and it wouldn't even be physically possible. How many things involving an erection and an orgasm don't involve sex? I'm amazed they've been able to push this arrant nonsense so long.

If rape was about power, then legalized prostitution would not reduce rape.

But the truth is that it was already tested out in some states for a few years - Rhode Island.

One reason why Germany still has a lower rape rate than Sweden despite having an impressive amount of enrichers there now is that Germany is a country where you can fuck passable women for 30-50$ at one of the many brothels. In contrast in Sweden the johns get punished severely, even shamed by being sent coloured mail that everyone knows what it is. Not only are brothels banned, but mainly high-class or lowest class illegal prostitutes at inflated prices remain.

Of course in the case of minors it would not help much, but legalized prostitution proves that rape is not about power at all. That is frankly more a feminist fantasy since being raped is one of their sexual fetishes.

I have always been on the other side of the court room from Merenguero's point, but I understand that he's not my enemy because he's a defense attorney. When some defense attorney is grilling a cop on the stand and the cop is sweating, I'm always thinking, "This attorney is pretty good. And why the fuck is this cop sweating so much right now if he's just testifying?"

I have never one time in my life been on the side of the defense in any case, yet I was never angry with them. I've even had a defense counsel try to impeach me in a PERSONAL way on the stand. And then he called me on my cell afterwards and said, "It wasn't really personal at all, man. I just didn't have anything else to go on." And I was perfectly fine with it and told him so. It was just his job to do that shit and there were no hard feelings. And the federal magistrate shut his ass down when he attacked me, so I thought it was funny anyhow.

This case would take a turn for crazy if it turns out the girl had prior sexual relations with at least one of the guys.

But Merenguero, I don't think it will be very difficult to show a lack of consent in this case. How can it reasonably be shown that this girl wanted to fuck in the boys bathroom right in the middle of a school day? These guys are looking at 10-20 years in the slammer or a deportation.

You seem to already know this, but the defense need not prove consent. The state needs to prove lack of consent. If you listen to Andy's comments at the early part of the video, it should start to make sense. Where are the wounds on the Defendants or on her? Would a fourteen year old girl not fight back? If so and there are no wounds on anybody, the state may have a serious problem. All you need is reasonable doubt as to any one element. I don't know all the facts, but I don't think it will be easy for the state to prove.

Nah, nothing you said will sway a jury. Lack of wounds is there because she was restrained by two men. The doctors report should show signs of trauma. The witnesses who heard screams can be recorded on cell phones now by the parents or cops.

Whatever legal technicalities may help the rapists, it won't matter. The prosecutors will pack the jury with White moms and these guys are done.

There was so much media sensation over this case there will be no impartial jury in Maryland. It's a small state and news like this is explosive. Even if the guys are in fact innocent and this girl was a skank, I still expect both of these guys to get convicted. The girl is crying rape and tons of evidence shows a rape happened beyond reasonable doubt.

I mean if someone wants to have sex who does it with their friend in the boys bathroom? It's completely ridiculous, no jury will buy it. I know how American people feel. I predicted Trump's victory 1.5 years in advance. I know the law doesn't matter in this case and I know how the jury will vote, as long as the prosecutors pack the jury with White Moms (Dads will work too).

Reports I read stated that this happened around 9am. Maybe we're justing reaching new levels of depravity, but I have a hard time believing a 14 year old girl is ready to get double-teamed in the school's hallway bathroom at 9 in the morning.

I can believe it, when I see her face, body, have a look at her ethnic makeup and sexual history. In this case I tend to favor her account, but it is not 100% impossible that she did not want it.

Either way this is a lose-lose situation for the Left.

If it turns out she's lying, this is going to be yet *another* false rape accusation that has gained national attention.

If it turns out to be true (most likely), it's shined the spotlight on the inherent dangers of having an open-borders policy and who the potential victims could be (your own kids).

Generally people are pretty protective of their children.

My guess is at least some liberals in MoCo are having what I've heard alcoholics refer to as "a moment of clarity" when it comes to their delusional ideas about the wonders of diversity and multiculturalism.

Looking through Maryland's jury selection process we find that it's one of the most biased in the country:

http://thedailyrecord.com/2009/11/30/jury-selection-in-md-needs-improvement/

“In other states, the attorneys frequently run the show, and it is permissible for them to address a much broader range of issues,” Ward said. More personal questions about a prospective juror’s experiences, attitudes and beliefs “would be allowable in other jurisdictions,” but most likely not in Maryland.
She said attorneys in other states “are typically flabbergasted at what happens in Maryland.”
Without more information about jurors, Matlon and Ward said, attorneys must rely on demographic stereotypes about people of a certain age, level of education or occupation to make judgments about whom to exclude.
“If a juror wants to hide a bias from you, you’re really going to have a hard time finding that,” said Greg Hurley, a defense attorney who is now an analyst for the Center for Jury Studies in Williamsburg, Va. “You never have a complete picture of a person, and you get some facts, and decide whether you want them on a jury or not.”

This case could blow up huge. The entire case will be based around whether the jury is White or Latino. There could be 10 Whites saying Guilty with 2 Latinos saying Not Guilty, resulting in mistrials for years!

I'm trying to tell you guys and I have more than a little bit of experience with this. Also, I don't really agree with that article that Samseau posted. The way it really works is the state and the defense are given a list of potential jurors with their names, occupations, education level, ages, cities, and zip codes. It always seems like there is a ton of retired people, many of whom were teachers or police officers, for some reason. You generally know what race the people are by looking at them and reading their names. Sometimes you can't tell, like when you have a very light skinned Hispanic women who is married to a white guy or black guy and took his last name. Both the state and the defense submit a list of proposed voir dire questions to the judge. These questions include things like "Have you ever been a victim of a crime"? "Do you have any problem with the constitutional provision that the Defendant need not prove anything"? "Would you be able to be fair and impartial knowing that the Defendant is a native of Guatemala and is not a United States citizen"?, etc. If a person answers affirmatively, you can then ask the potential jurors specific questions as to their affirmative response. This is done at the bench. The judge will generally excuse jurors who for one reason or another say that they cannot be fair and impartial, then both the defense and the state are given a number of strikes to have certain potential jurors excused. If one side has multiple persons of a certain race stricken in a row, the other side can make what is called a "Batson" challenge, meaning the the side which is being challenged must give a racially neutral explanation for striking repeated prospective jurors of the same race.

No. They won't. In 2014, Montgomery County was 47% white, non hispanic and it has become less white since then. Let's call it 45% white, tops. There likely hasn't been an all white jury here in several decades. Out of twelve jurors in criminal cases, I would estimate that on average six or seven jurors are white. Maybe eight, but I doubt it. Any attempt by the state to strike every non white person will obviously be met with a Batson challenge. They are way too smart and experienced to try that here.

Two things. If they get away with the rape with no deportation or punishment:

1. The libs will suffer even more at the ballot box in places outside of Maryland. If Latino jurors simply vote for their race, you can also expect to see even more White hostility towards this community around the country.

I am guessing the victim was White based on the fact that the town-hall of angry parents were mostly White, which is why I am guessing things will come down to jury's racial composition.

2. Highly probable a vigilante goes after the accused or the judge with lethal intent.

Either way - this case has way too many eyeballs for some form of justice not to be delivered. It's actually not uncommon for vigilante justice to occur on rape cases, and that's without million+ views on the internet.


Conversely, if the men are convicted and proven fair and square it will do a lot to resolve tensions.

That school is 64% minority, but it's entirely possible that the victim was white. I don't at this time know what her race was. It's also possible that she was not white.

If it goes to a jury trial, the judge is obviously not the ultimate finder of guilt or innocence, unless the judge grants a Motion for Judgment of Acquittal before the case goes to a jury. I realize that it won't matter and if one or both of these guys get off, some person may, for some reason, blame the judge and go after him. I'm pretty sure that the defense attorneys involved in this case have already received their share of threats.

I would expect real fireworks and violence if the victim was black.

I'm sick of hearing about how these illegal pieces of shit are entitled to the same rights as the citizens who reside in the US legally.

Does anyone really doubt these two fucking punks are not the lowest form of human being?

Merenguero, I'm guessing you are trying to exercise your attorney muscles right now, but how can you honestly expect a 14 year old girl to fight back against two 17 and 18 year old men?

A 14 year old boy wouldn't have a chance, let alone a little 14 year old girl fighting two people.

3 and 4 years make and enormous difference in high school.

ONE YEAR makes a huge difference and is why kids get held back a year so they'll be better in sports and are more likely to get scholarships.

I can't believe what I'm reading sometimes.

And honestly, talking about witnesses moving or not showing up?

Get real.

That isn't going to be an issue at all.

We ALL know how women don't want to be called sluts, especially 14 year old girls at high school.

You think she was just having such a nice time and wanted everyone to know what a whore she is and oh yeah, not to mention getting in trouble for fucking in the bathroom?

You can be sick and tired of the 5th, 6th and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution all you want. The court is not going to care what you don't like about the law.

As much as you'd like to make my feelings the point of discussion my greater point is that these pieces of shit will be convicted and you can suck on that.

It's men that convict. Not women.

In sex offense cases, it's the women who are the most skeptical in my experience.

I'll give you guys an example. Hispanic Defendant. A young, but still an adult, black female alleged victim. Sex offense, but not a rape. Only fact witness was the alleged victim. There was a police officer witness who just took the statement of both the Defendant and the alleged victim. The jury was (this is just a rough estimate) nine women and three men. One of the women was black, another was neither black, nor white, probably either middle eastern or Hispanic. All the rest of the women were white. All of the men were white. The alleged victim testified, as did the officer and the Defendant. The alleged victim did not do horrible on the stand, but there were at least two or three differences between the statement she made to the officer and her testimony in court. The officer's testimony therefore greatly helped the Defendant's case. After two and a half hours of deliberating, they came back with a not guilty verdict. In retrospect, if the state had not called the officer, there would have been a much higher chance of a conviction, but the defense attorney, some guy who doesn't give one flying fuck about English, grammar, and/or E.S.L., asked the officer to stick around in case the state didn't call him as a witness. I do think that in jury trials, Defendants who testify in their own defense generally do much better than those who do not. The obvious risk is that low intelligence Defendants run the risk of saying something incredibly stupid on the stand and hanging themselves.

Tell us what you would rather have happen here. They're going to get a jury trial and then deported either way. What else should be done with these two illegals?
