Hinkley prompted a radial revision of insanity defense. The defense lawyer here is doing what lawyers are trained to do, push the envelope, change definitions, and if they are lucky they get the judge to make new law.
I don't know of a "mental illness" defense, short of insanity, although there are likely some idiosyncratic carve-outs for specific conduct such as verbal outbursts attributed to Tourette's.
Nice fantasy you have there. Don't get too invested in it.
And without naming names, she is thinking FoxNews is far right. To DEMs, any criticism is far right. Irrational, unreasonable, demanding and intolerant is what they are, not to mention stupid and naive.
Foxx can't shield him from civil suits either, and Rahm is going to sue Smollett for $130,000 to cover costs of investigating the false report.
Yeah, and Carpe Donktum employs the same tactics that Cult leaders use to control and manipulate their flock, too.
So what? I mean, the tactics used to gain followers are the same for everybody who craves followers.
I would add to that, that many if not most practitioners of "law," and I include legislators in that cohort, think that law has the power, all by itself, to hold an orderly society together. Arrogant belief.
Law is a social tool, and it's okay as tools go. But it not the be-all end-all, and as with any tool, it can be abused. In modern times, the principles of law are flouted and abused. We are at a point where "if it's not a crime, it morally acceptable."
Sad.
Does the CNN dipshit lawguy find the wrongful death suit against OJ Simpson to be a stunt, and not how it works?
If Smollett is smart, he'd pay the $130,000 and shut up. The money won't even come out of his pocket. I'd no-show the civil trial, get a default judgment, and pay off that way. Don't say a word.
Fuckin' A, Trump is a LARP.

Is the city going to sue Smollett? It's making noises that point in that direction. Who knows if they pull the trigger.
