  1. I'm not a lawyer and it went over my head also. It was something about 25% of the cost not being covered, privatization, and a dangerous precedent for the "rest of the country." If someone understands this gobbledygook, please explain. The guy is a vet, with a service-related condition, he deserves treatment no matter the cost.
  2. She kicked him out of the house. He left, nothing more.
  3. And Richard Gere (Billy Flynn) could be their legal representation.
  4. So the CIA guy with SUPER DUPER CLEARANCE takes the SUPER DUPER ENCRYPTED PHONE from the SUPER DUPER SECURE FILE CABINET and talks on that SUPER DUPER ENCRYPTED PHONE in plain sight of everyone and SUPER DUPER ERICA is able to read his lips and unmasks the secret of the TREASURE OF SIERRA MAESTRA. Give me a fucking break!!!!!!!!
  5. OR maybe he's got them stockpiled on ice in his Winnebago!
  6. There is no way ONE guy walks a hand truck full of cash into a bank. They always work in pairs.
  7. I just knew Arnie Becker would turn out to be a scumbag. I'm waiting to see what Lyle Menendez has up his sleeve.
  8. He was also David Greene on ER. Dr. Mark Greene's father.
  9. He's probably right. Kidnapping is high risk with odds of getting away unscathed very low.
  10. Police and FBI Acronyms, Codes and Terminology Used In the Books from Michael Connelly's website: https://www.michaelconnelly.com/extras/police-fbi-acronyms/
  11. Watched all of S05 yesterday. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Good job Titus and crew.
  12. Yes, they are, but I'm sure there will be some convoluted twist that will eventually show the "real killer." Anyone, what's up with all the initials and counting markings carved into the wall of the abandoned building?
  13. I think Double Jeopardy doesn't apply here. Under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, prosecutors may not try a defendant for the same crime twice. For this reason, a person that is found not guilty by a jury cannot be then forced to face trial a second time. The double jeopardy protection does not apply, however, to a case where the defendant has successfully appealed his conviction. In such cases, prosecutors do have the right to retry a defendant a second time, although they must do so in light of whatever issues the appeals court relied upon in overturning the conviction. When Prosecutors Will Retry-After an Appeal Whether a defendant will face a retrial after an appeal is obviously an important question to consider, as a second conviction may deny that person the benefit of their efforts to appeal. Furthermore, a second conviction can include a second criminal sentence which may be more or less harsh than the original sentence. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to retry after a conviction is completely within the discretion of the prosecutor’s office that had originally tried the case. In general, prosecutors bring cases on retrial when they think they have enough evidence to win, the potential for a sympathetic jury, and there is enough public sentiment in favor of retrial. Very few prosecutors intentionally bring cases they think they will lose, and so the decision on whether to conduct a retrial will be based on a variety of factors, but one of the key factors will be in whether they can believe they can score another conviction in light of the appeals court decision. If the appeals court threw out a main piece of evidence used in prosecuting the case, such as a confession or the admission of contraband, the prosecutors may not have the ability to win without that evidence, and thus would decline to retry. Likewise, if the court ruled that the jury was given incorrect instructions on the law, and the correct reading of the law would never support a second conviction, this may be another reason not to retry.
  14. He may have been the best character but his storylines surely sucked. And his being joined at the hip with Bekker made it even worse.
  15. Just read, the Dynamic Duo is leaving Med: https://tvline.com/2019/04/19/chicago-pd-jon-seda-leaving-antonio-dawson-season-6/ https://tvline.com/2019/04/19/colin-donnell-leaving-chicago-med-connor-rhodes-season-5/
  16. Just read that Jon Seda is leaving P.D. https://tvline.com/2019/04/19/chicago-pd-jon-seda-leaving-antonio-dawson-season-6/
  17. ITA, and besides that, I get the biggest laughs watching him in challenges. He is about the most inept player (in challenges) EVER.
  18. I absolutely hate this season's format and the players even more. Ten weeks in and there is no one to root for. When will they be trimming down the EoE residents or are they all going to the final jury? The jury right now has more people than the game does.
  19. OR an adverse reaction to the experimental drug.
  20. I could never work for a guy like Gibbs, and if I did for whatever reason, hand me the transfer papers.
  21. Yes, Sela Ward is top dog and Jubal is her assistant. According to Wiki: Jeremy Sisto as Jubal Valentine, FBI assistant special agent-in-charge Sela Ward as Dana Mosier, FBI special agent-in-charge and the team's supervisor
  22. I hate season ending cliffhangers! Cliffhangers are the same as the dreaded in season "to be continued" What if they don't get renewed? Do we get a do-over where Bradford just doesn't pass out?
  23. Don't blame the wine; I'm just as confused and I had no wine.
