Will they just put it off yet again? He’s been delaying this case for over two years now.
Lots of high profile cases. This was just posted on the news about a florida police officer facing life for sex with underage girl

If this court case was going to be televised I would have to stock up on pop corn and beer and invite my friends over.

It depends, Do you have Corona? The beer not the virus LOL
👍
Do they figure he will have time to sober up by then?
Unfortunately, only misdemeanor charges. Probably the most disgusting thing about the incident is that he was able to afford a Lamborghini by spreading lies and hate filled rhetoric. What is more dangerous, a homeless sex offender keeping to himself to avoid more public harassment, or an inebriated man driving a car that can go over 200 miles per hour? If he wants people to remain on a public sex offender registry for life even for a single offense, shouldn’t he have his driver’s license revoked for life? After all, we “know” that drunk drivers will do it again. He is a menace to society. (That’s sarcasm by the way. I don’t believe that one conviction for ANYTHING is a predictor of future likelihood to repeat the behavior).
Driving drunk is one of the most repeated offense out there. The perp usually believes they were targeted or the cop had it in for them. Never is it their own fault.
I believe he should have to attend driving school and required to blow into a device to start his car. Maybe an ankle device to track his movements for 6 months.
Wait? He drives himself? Figured him for a
Wait a minute! Are you saying that “they”, DUI offenders, don’t take personal responsibility, they are not accountable to their victims, they “minimize” their actions? Go figure. He and his attorneys will be able to figure a way out for him or at least he won’t be penalized near as much as most others with similar charges. The hypocrisy is not unnoticed.
I agree. This man is a hypocrite. He wants sex offender registry for life because a guy like me got caught peeing in a dark ally one night, 17 years ago. (exaggerated charge, and I had to plead guilty to public exposure to get bail). Maybe he should have to register for life as a violent drug offender, for alcohol abuse while operating a potential deadly weapon?! These sex offender laws are out of control.

Usually a situation of Who you know, Who you pay off or do favors for, or who you sleep with to get favors in return. IE: Charges dismissed, or lowered. Evidence disappering or destroyed or speaking to the judge in private on your behalf.
In other words, many times the laws only apply to John Q public.
I wonder if Lauren will be there?
