I do have to wonder if this will every be challenged as "Cruel and unusual".

They paid their time, if they were to be punished more throw them back behind bars, otherwise stop actively harassing them. Realistically they probably would have gotten off easier had they just committed a good ol' fashioned murder.

Could not agree more...

I use various kinds of carpentry tools and yes they can be very dangerous if you don't use caution. Pisses me off seeing people being cavalier about safety when working with something dangerous like a saw, or electricity.

Or worse when they blame the tool because they decided to disregard the various safety features and put their thumb in the path of the blade.

Yep, we've been paying for these upgrades since Clinton but haven't seen a damn thing really.

The upgrades are always too expensive and they don't have the money, so WTF have them been doing with all those service fees for the past couple decade?

They need to be held accountable, give us the upgrades or give us the money.

You got it turned around.

The burden of proof is clearly on the accuser, not defendant. He could remain silent and still win if the accuser does not make his case.

Showing that he suffered damages/loss of business is NOT sufficient to satisfy the burden of proof in a libel case. Otherwise you'd open the door for any and every business to sue over any bad review and could win by simply showing they suffered a loss.

> You're honor, they accused me of discriminating against blacks and I suffered a monetary loss!
>> Do you discriminate?
> Well yes, but I still suffered a loss.
>> I rule in your favor.

I think they meant to swing it as being news from people will use to base their investment decisions on.

Seems you are not allowed to make straight BS free statements about the factual use of your services by your customers. You have to make sure and layer it in corp BS to the point that only professional analysts can figure out what you're saying.
