Piracy or Stupidity?

[KC2UGV]

There lies the rub , they take the attitude that getting there client off at any cost [ truth , the 1st causality ] , so as you say , to convince the jury of there view , weather its true or not - in most cases .
We need to get our justice system to a logical position , instead of an adversarial position , it should take a co-operative position , both side acknowledge the truth and the defense find the best outcome , considering the facts of the case .
The best liar wins - is just plain wrong .

That is their job: To get their client off. It's a basic foundation of our justice system. Both sides get a fair hearing. In this case, the prosecutor's job is to nail them at any costs. And, the defense's job is to get their client off at any costs.

It tends to balance things out. Kind of like everyone trumping their resume up

That again is the problem , ignoring the facts and enforcing beliefs .

I know someone who very recently was accosted by pirates off the coast of Africa.

For some reason the boarders went back to their own ship for a moment, during which the victim throttled up and legged it.

'Twas a trawler with big engines - I assume the skipper had determined he could outrun the pirates if he got a chance.

In any case, he's home now and I await a full telling of the tale when I see him next.

Problem with facts? They don't always tell the whole story.

Let's take a murder case.

A person died between 1AM and 2AM.

The significant other has no alibi between 1AM and 2AM.

There is a big life insurance policy out on the person who died. The sig. other is the beneficiary.

That's the only facts. Should the person be sent to jail?

face it, none of us are doing enough for the war on a specific human emotion, or to keep the elderly erect

I'd rather have one of the Blue Ridge class ships, Here is a old photo of the Mt Whitney.

Note the neato HF log perodic forward :

Its hard too see, but there is also a wideband HF cage antenna just above the number.



Now days the HF antenna has been replaced by satcomm antennas, but the old skyhook is right next to the Ark of the Covenent in that warehouse (final sceen of 1st Indiana Jones movie)

here is a different view:

My nephew was a missile tech on the Blue Ridge, 25+/- years ago. He said their favorite sport was West Pacific 'Bear' baiting.

30 years ago, I read that a woman had bought the superstructure of a scrapped CV to use as a house. I wouldn't mind having the superstructure of a Perry Class frigate, if it came with the mainmast.

Plate by plate and rib by rib, I would imagine. To be rewelded at the home site. Whatever can be built, can be disassembled.

like that castle that was sent via mail brick by brick
