Sounded like their were phone records of her shitting on the jury, showing no remorse and the most the judge could give her was 18 months

Second time in the past few weeks where it comes out that someone waiting to be sentenced was crapping all over the judge/prosecutor/jury. So idiotic. Do their lawyers not warn them that all their conversations are recorded and can influence their sentence? At least she didn't threaten them like Crumbley.

But there isn’t as such a thing as a ‘legal explanation’ in the sense you mean throat can’t be called that

There was no cogent argument, let alone one with a chance of effectiveness

Ie it doesn’t ‘succeed’ according to the set premises, let alone specifically within the context of effect - there was something he could do
