Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.

Comment preview: These cases always end up ridiculous due to some weird laws over here: IP adresses are saved for about 7 days, which can be extended by a quick freeze. If some lawyer asks for personal data behind an IP adress, because he has a hint (no proof needed, as th ....


Comment preview: The sovereign citizen/tax protester movement has a lot of weird beliefs. They think that the United States has ceased to operate as a legal entity with the advent of the Social Security administration, and that a secret government meeting was held where al ....


Comment preview: Hilarious. There's a case out of California called *Moore v. Regents of University of California* that dealt with the ownership of bodily parts, tissues, fluids, etc. The Court in that case said that the plaintiff had no claim to ownership over his discard ....


Comment preview: That was weird... "Oh, so the court found you not liable and said Ellen has to pay you? Why aren't you just paying her the $2.7 million!?" "Well, Ellen's case might be completely bogus and she's dragging her former employer through the mud, but it's sparke ....


Comment preview: Look, I don't have the precedents to back this up, but I am 100% convinced that celebrity photos/videos are a weird result of the "public figure" idea set down by the supreme court a long time ago (lawyer help me here) that basically said that an elected o ....


Comment preview: If you've ever watched Criminal Minds, that is based on the real FBI's Behavior Analysis Unit. The former head of the real life BAU was commissioned to look at the entire case, and he talks about the case and how preferential child abusers [here](https:// ....


Comment preview: Judge won't talk to my daughter because she's only 3. As far as bringing my ex to court I kind of worded that a little weird. After this court crap going on for a year and me telling them she has a bio, the judge JUST realized you can't grant gardian ship ....


Comment preview: The attention of the public is an essential check on the courts. It is important that people understand what is happening and why (and reporting where I live on high profile cases succeeds in this, YMMV). This includes miscarriages of justice, prosecutoria ....


Comment preview: I too used to be anti-conspiracy, but after a year on reddit, something is definitely hinky with a *lot* of subs. r/news is definitely one of them, but there are several others. Radical views swarm in waves that are way outside statistical probability. ....


Comment preview: Public apology? Find it. Now. There was no public apology. She was bought off by Kobe. He raped her. It's that simple. Or did she fake the vaginal tearing and blood everywhere? GTFO. Here's what people don't get - yes it was consensual sex until he ....


Comment preview: Hi there! Since there seems to be a bit of confusion about this case, I'm going to take a bit of time (and inspiration from /u/Unidan) and act as the excited lawyer to explain some of the finer details of this case so that at the very least people are mad ....


Comment preview: In case anyone is wondering. This is case bears no resemblance to the reddit circle jerk. http://www.10news.com/news/team-10/man-walks-out-of-jail-a-free-man-after-rape-charges-dropped-says-justice-system-failed-him-scott-espinosa-11122013 Here is an artic ....

Comment preview: Okay, that was weird, but this gets downright creepy: >Outrageous situation's like OP's are not exactly common. >That said, neither are cases of men covertly (either personally or by hiring a 'pro') murdering their wives. >**It kind of makes me wo ....

Comment preview: Here in Georgia, the local Police entrap men (and women) by posing on Craigslist, trying to make a sexual hookup. When they make a connection, they suggest meeting in a public park ("I'm too nervous, can we meet in a public place first?") and then show up ....


Comment preview: "Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now ....


Comment preview: okay here's a breakdown on how I learned it Diversity Jurisdiction: 1. Complete diversity among **opposing parties** (there's a weird exception for class action suits but don't worry about it unless your professor has brought it up when you're learning abo ....


Comment preview: I can't be the only one who find it unbelievably weird that people seem to be seriously advocating that nobody ought to talk about anyone's illegal activities except in a court of law, or only publicly *after* they have been convicted. I mean, what the fuc ....


Comment preview: I've worked with incarcerated kids for years in several different capacities. In jail, treatment centers, courts, classrooms, etc. I think it is important to a make clear that these types of restraints are used when someone is an extreme danger to themse ....


Comment preview: As a european I can tell you that this whole case seems fishy to me too. Obviously I don't know all the facts the prosecutor knows, but I would call it highly unlikely that they were actively involved in the murder. They don't have any real evidence and bo ....
