This horrific event, which involved the lynching and burning of hunters by a mob, has drawn widespread condemnation. The victims, believed to be hunters, were allegedly confronted by a group of local vigilantes and community…

I know many are panicking with the announcement of the indictment, but we knew this was going to happen. Indictments don't mean guilt. They're necessary for a trial to even happen.

What we should really be focusing on is why did it take this long.

The documentaries, the slandering articles, the two week delays from MSM on positive Luigi news, the blatant gaslighting of why anyone would support the adjuster, the continued violation of Luigi's rights, the smearing of his supporters, the death penalty before DISCOVERY

They aren't afraid to play dirty. So please explain how, with all of their underhanded actions, did it still take them months to get an indictment?

His chances of jury nullification with a death qualified jury are an actual 0.

That depends on the evidence though, while I agree with you. People since December shouting jury nullification as the only option makes it seem like they have so much credible evidence against him and it's a slam dunk when in reality it doesn't seem to be the case. We don't even know what they have or don't have against him. The public stuff is contradictory and it's to the defence's benefit. People should absolutely know about just nullification but even if he 100% did it, they have to have evidence against him. In the court it's not gonna be the media circus forcing only 1 side of the story, it's gonna be both.

yeah true. the prosecution has to actually prove his guilt to the jury beyond a reasonable doubt. and there is a lot of reasonable doubt from what the public knows so far.

another thing that makes me kind of 'okay...anyways' with the pitt is the idea that the police would immediately investigate the woman being pushed on the subway tracks as a hate crime

“Is it safe for one violent perpetrator, who is biologically male, to disrupt the lives of hundreds of incarcerated women for up to 14 years?"

By Genevieve Gluck December 4, 2023

A trans-identified male in the Netherlands charged with committing a brutal murder has been placed in a women’s prison ahead of his final hearings. Known only as “Daniela D.,” the 32-year-old Chilean national is accused of having stabbed a man 214 times, targeting his eyes, ears, and genitals.

The incident is said to have occurred on December 23 of 2022 during an altercation that took place at the home of Danny Roth. Daniela was reportedly working as a prostitute at the time in the Rotterdam region, with Roth being an occasional client.

Details of the moments leading up to the killing are unclear, though Daniela’s lawyer has attempted to forward “a case of self-defense excess.” with Daniela testifying that Roth had taken drugs which caused him to hallucinate.

“Danny took a hallucinogenic pill, a coffee-colored capsule. He dragged me by the hair to the kitchen. He threw a knife at me and I deflected it with my hand. He shouted ‘fucking whore’ and proceeded to punch me in the face and it really hurt. I have silicone all over my body and it was causing injuries,” Daniela said. He stated that he repelled the attack with his hand, sustaining an injury, and during the struggle Roth dropped the knife. Grabbing it from the floor, Daniela then began stabbing the man.

However, a forensic expert argued that Daniela’s claims do not align with the blood patterns spattered across the wall. According to an analysis of the crime scene, the victim’s blood was dusted high up across the walls. In Daniela’s version of events, the expert said, the blood would have mainly been on the ground and not “in an upward direction all around.”

An autopsy also showed that while there was alcohol and cocaine in Roth’s body, there were no traces of other substances, such as the purported “hallucinogenic pill” his system.

Additionally, Daniela made a disturbing admission in a recorded phone call shortly after the assault.

“I stabbed both eyes, so that he cannot recognize me when the police show him a photo. I stabbed his ears, so that he cannot hear questions from the police,” Daniela told a friend. “And I broke the bottle on his head. I didn’t want to stop hitting him.”

The Public Prosecution Service presented a different scenario from the story told by Daniela and pointed to the significant amount of cuts all over Roth’s body as an important indication of anger.

“The stabbing was deliberate and targeted. That is not fear, but anger and revenge. It is not self-defense but an attack.” A coroner determined that Roth’s penis was slashed with a knife after he was already dead.

Roth’s body was found on December 26, three days after the fatal attack, by a friend and a neighbor who stopped by wondering where he was. Roth had not shown up for appointments, and his family had become concerned when they could not contact him over the holidays. Roth’s body was discovered lying on the floor, surrounded by a pool of blood.

The victim’s sister testified in court and strongly condemned Daniela while requesting the maximum possible sentence.

“I hope your hand still hurts every day. When you go to sleep, I hope you see his face. You had an overwhelming anger, from the top of your head to your toes. So bad that the most gruesome horror film is nothing like it,” Roth’s sister told the accused.

Daniela D. has been residing illegally in the Netherlands since February 2022, where he has been involved in the sex industry. The court heard that he came from a broken home and that he had been “bullied” as a youth by peers who did not accept his gender identity.

The Public Prosecution Service is seeking a sentence of fourteen years in prison. The court in Dordrecht will announce its final verdict on December 5.

Despite being fully intact, Daniela is being detained in Ter Peel women’s prison, and it is anticipated that should he be convicted, he will serve his sentence in a women’s institution.

Journalist Sybilla Claus, writing for Brabants Dagblad, called the situation “unacceptable” for female inmates.

“Is it safe for one violent perpetrator, who is biologically male, to disrupt the lives of hundreds of incarcerated women for up to 14 years? The director of the largest women’s prison, Ter Peel, between Venlo and Helmond, thinks it’s fine. He had the extremely violent Chilean suspect, with male genitalia, placed there among the 226 women,” Claus wrote.

“They have the right to their own protection, privacy and dignity… Research shows that a large proportion of imprisoned women have been victims of physical and/or sexual violence as children and afterwards, and end up in an abusive relationship.”

Claus emphasized that “there are few female criminals in the Netherlands. There are three women’s prisons … which house around 3,000 women annually. Most are released within three months, because they commit lighter crimes,” she wrote. “Behavioral scientist Katharina Joosen interviewed about four hundred former women inmates. She described in 2015 that half have a criminal or addicted partner and have been treated for serious psychological problems due to trauma.”

me, absolutely frothing at the mouth: i have the most boring, basic, and milquetoast idea for an athena cykes ace attorney game but it COMPELS me

[veikkoalen]

i don't get how you can be friends with people on the opposite end of the political spectrum. if you're both hard leaning towards centrism then it's understandable, but in my case that's a matter of being a normal human being and being a cannibalistic nazi because politics here is not about being left or right for a long time.

apolitical people who are strictly against any political discussions are just gross

The Nova Scotia government has approved the creation of 27 new positions in the Public Prosecution Service.

That's the arms-length agency that prosecutes criminal matters in the province. The new hires will include both Crown prosecutors and support staff and four of the new Crown positions will be designated for lawyers from diverse communities.

Justice Minister Brad Johns said following Thursday's cabinet meeting that the positions address a long-standing need and will be hired soon.

I know at least a couple would want her to stop. Especially if they had children. Because is that a good example for them? Someone embarrasses you one time and you terrorize them forever????

(Maria vc yes)

(Fun fact: It is hard to truly humiliate Maria, so the few people who manage to do it will be on her shit list for eternity)

I wonder if any would be indifferent or even encourage it tho omg

A miraculous day

11/3/1987

Now 9:13pm or so---Cool--sun--beautiful--breath in the cool air day--the drive to work--fog--like gentle grey soft fingers rested 15 feet above as we flew to work---the sun rested high in etherial grey and light blue grace--trees down the way rested in grey mist peace--almost as if they had been wished up from some desperate need to relive the past. The past emerging from the mist, so to speak.

The day itself. The DA accused me in front of a jury of suborning purgery of a witness. I was outraged. My closing argument could be heard all the way to the next court room. A lawyer in trial in that court room told me later that his jurors were leaning to listen to me-- Three hours later. The jurors in my trial send out a question from the deliberation room. They want testimony re read. The DA and my client say it will be a guilty verdict. I say "you are right", and more time passes. I'm in agony. Did I improperly fail to object to the DA's misconduct re: attack on my integrity? Oh, I could barely live with myself. Then, a call from the court room bailiff. The jury is hung. Me "good". Agonizing minutes pass and finally, the judge declares a mistrial. Vindication!

End of this part of the entry

Notes:

Both the Da and myself were outrageously loud in our closing arguments as I recall. The lawyer that I mentioned in the above entry who was in trial in the next court room told me that they assumed it was some kind of a divorce court proceeding because. it was so loud and angry!

The DA in my case was Jim Brazelton. We were friends before and after this trial. He went on to become the head Da for Stanislaus county. He died in 2007 after running the Stanislaus County DA's office for 9 years.

Trial is a very passionate affair. The lawyers know this and, at least in my experience, don't let what happens in trial effect our relationship outside of the court room.

This is one of my favorite stories from court, the shouting part of it. I have told it many times.

I probably started the 11/3/1987 entry with the poetry of the day to get me to a place where I could flow out onto the page the intense experience of the day.

a rlly good thesis topic would be to comb through all felonies pertaining to the family sphere & sort of analyse how much the core concept of the family (ie. patriarch has absolute authority, and any abuse of such authority becomes relevant only insofar as it destabilising the State) has stayed the same despite it having shifted from a familia to the nuclear family
