I think I know where future pageviews are going to come from here at Chez Althouse.; 4/8/10, 5:02 PM

You mean she walks about Meadehouse as did Aphrodite on Olympus?; 4/8/10, 5:23 PM

Lynne said...: I was kind of amused to read that one mother covered her son's eyes as they passed by.
Doesn't her son already know what the equipment looks like? Wouldn't a brief lecture on "Why you should never do that!" have sufficed?

Seriously, though, I'm pleased by this decision. I was plagued by a peeping stalker for nearly 10 years, and all most cops ever wanted to know was what I was wearing.
The fact that he was actively trying to break into my house when he knew I was there alone didn't seem to concern them.; 4/8/10, 6:36 PM

traditionalguy said...: God bless trial lawyers that can present the case the way the jury will understand what actually happened; such truth not being relevent to a legal functionary trying to please the self righteous activists over "Sex Charges". Michael Steele is under such a attack today to see if he keeps his RNC job.; 4/8/10, 7:08 PM

If he had gotten a court-appointed attorney, the total compensation would have been $278.; 4/8/10, 8:23 PM

And he'd have gotten 10 years and a lifetime on the sex offender's list for being naked in his own frigging house while a peeper looked inside and - gasp - saw something.

The lesson for the mother is: don't be lookin' into people's windows if you don't want your kid seeing some cock.

It's like in the men's room: eyes front or you're asking for whatever you get.; 4/8/10, 8:45 PM
Anonymous said...: Why didn't this defendant get a jury the first time?

The idea that you get a single judge for your trial and a jury for your appeal is not the custom in my state.

Is it because it was a misdemeanor?

Anyway, it was a ridiculous case. I once saw a woman changing clothes in the courtyard of my apartment building. It was very late. Young. Blond. I did not seek to press charges.; 4/8/10, 10:06 PM

Seriously?; 4/9/10, 7:09 AM
Tank said...: The jury was out for 20 minutes.

This tells you they immediately spotted this as a BS case.; 4/9/10, 7:38 AM
Der Hahn said...: Betcha it was 2 minutes to vote and 18 minutes for lunch.; 4/9/10, 7:50 AM
Tank said...: 10 minutes to settle in and look at a couple of pictures.

1 minute to vote not guilty.

9 minutes to discuss whether it's too early to tell the Judge you're done.; 4/9/10, 8:03 AM
Shanna said...: Good.; 4/9/10, 11:45 AM
former law student said...: 7M: California used to have a two-tier court system: Municipal Court for minor offenses, and Superior Court for major ones. Then they blended the two systems. I seem to recall that you could appeal your Muni Court decision to get a trial de novo in Superior Court.; 4/9/10, 3:10 PM
Anonymous said...: Thanks, FLS. That's sort of what I was guessing. The lower-court judge is just a rubber stamp of the prosecutor, probably.

It seems silly. Anyone who pleads not guilty should automatically get a full trial for any offense of any kind, including speeding. If that's too taxing for the state, then the state can go fuck itself.; 4/9/10, 9:06 PM
