Yeah. I would’ve had a non-prosecution or a plea deal worked out before any testimony since she is not required to testify. I mean they had her for perjury no matter what. If she completely shut up they could’ve still prosecute her. I haven’t looked it up in a while but I’m fairly certain the law on perjury says that if you give two conflicting sworn statements, the state does not have to prove which one is a lie. If one of them has to be then, it is perjury. So she had to make some kind of deal for her testimony, either as you say immunity or a very sweet plea deal like maybe Probation.

That article has to be some of the most bogus crap I have ever read. Notwithstanding the government is using it for politics and some people are using it to make money. That is one thing the article got right, the opinion that some people took a bad situation to use it to their advantage. It is still nonsense.

….. or maybe a better lawyer.

Several years ago we had a similar situation and the mother of one of the suspects lied to cover-up for her son. Because they were at least three people involved, she was charged with murder under Organized Crime.

You are trying to rationalize something but I’m not sure what it is.

I believe that is to qualify for parole. Parole is a, if you’re a good guy or girl, we will let you out early. it has been so long since I looked into that but they used to give “good days” meaning that if you did not cause any problems, you got a like an extra day credit. I believe it is to help maintain discipline. I remember back in the late 80s and maybe early 90s when the prison system was way overcrowded and Texas was under a federal lawsuit/mandate and they started giving like 20 for 1 good days.

I figured/knew it was half but I only thought a “life” sentence was considered 60 years, not when they gave an actual year. Yes, it will probably still be a life sentence.

The somehow nostalgic satisfying smell of a Pic. Then you have to try to separate the coils without breaking one of them. An officer that I used to work with who was from Vidor always said that when his dad brought home a paycheck on Friday, they would have pork chops or T-bone steak (about 1/4” thick) and then bologna and beans and rice for the rest of the week. My response was, yep, that sounds familiar.

I never saw Old Yeller. My older brother saw it in maybe 1963 or so and was telling me about it when he got back home. But, this thread brought back memories about the old days. We sometimes see discussions of drive in theaters, no microwaves, aluminum foil tray tv dinners, black and white television, 3 channels with no remote, maybe putting aluminum foil on the rabbit ears antenna to improve reception, The television station signing on about 6 AM and going off the air about 12 midnight by playing the Star Spangled Banner as a broadcast day began and ended….. The main memory from this thread is movies back then. Old Yeller came out about 1957 yet there was my father was bringing my brother to see it “at the movies” in 1963-ish. What we may have forgotten and younger people don’t know is that movies were not available on VHS (even video tape didn’t exist), you generally could not see movies on television but some later shows had an occasional old movie. You either saw it at the movies or you didn’t see it. Movies back then “came back around” maybe a year or two later as a rerun much like reruns on TV but at the theater. They would come back maybe a few times. It was especially true with classics like Gone With The Wind that might be showing at the theater 20 years after it originally came out. If it didn’t, you simply wouldn’t see it. Many times those would be an Saturday matinees. Now we can watch practically any movie on demand on a telephone (which back then had a cord about 10 feet long so there were very few private conversations) or cast it onto our color smart television. How far we have come in a lifetime…..

Yeah, ripping an unborn baby to pieces is not inhumane. Susan Collins is a Republican.

It looks like probably a customer was in a Port Arthur Church’s Chicken when two people came in with guns and attempted an armed robbery. I say attempted because a citizen in the store shot both, killing one. [Hidden Content]

Barrow after they game: “They have goals and if they are going to reach those goals, it is going to take playing 4 quarters in this district” ”We went in at halftime and we were not happy with what we were doing“ ”We’ve got to clean that up if we’re going to get where we want to go“ (talking about penalties)

He was rather terse.
