Prince Andrew. Not Prince Phillip. Big difference.

There is a difference both in the law and human neurology between lust for a five year old and lust for a sexually developed 15 year old.

Legally, the punishment for molestation of a five year old is life in prison. Molestation of a 15 year old (in California at least) usually results in a sentence of between 1 year and 8 years in prison.

Neurologically, although it may disgust people to acknowledge this fact, psychiatrists confirm that regular, healthy male heterosexual adults INVOLUNTARILY may be aroused by a well developed girl of 15. But no regular healthy male heterosexual is aroused by a five year old girl. Our bodies respond physically to the visual stimuli presented regardless of whether society says it is right or wrong morally. Hopefully this is common sense to most of you.

I can imagine some people who don't like you very much.
That's a tough situation to be in.

In my opinion, when it comes to things that really matter, it is far better to be honest (no matter the consequences) than popular. It is one of the reasons I have become a huge fan of Liz Cheney over the past five years.

"When it requires coincidence after coincidence after coincidence to refute an allegation, then the allegation is almost always accurate"
Has that led your pedophile clients to be convicted?

Not just child molest cases, but most crimes in general. A jury will go with you only so far, Once a lawyer starts arguing a chain of multiple coincidences the jury starts shutting down. I have seen it so often.

Honestly, when it does come specifically to child molest cases, the best way to win is to dig up enough dirt about the surrounding circumstances of the case to cause the prosecutor to lose faith in the certainty of the validity of a prosecution. No prosecutor wants to live with the weight of potentially sending a man to prison for the rest of his life if he/she has a lingering doubt about whether the crime really happened. Such as, a divorce scenario where it starts to seem very possible that the the wife is pressuring the child to make allegations against the father to gain the upper hand in the divorce proceedings. Or when the child turns out to have significant pre-existing mental health problems. Or, my favorite, when as a result of great investigation by my investigator we are able to bring in the girl's school principal to testify that he only really knows about 4% of the students at the school - the best 2% and the worst 2%, and then acknowledges that the alleged victim of the contested child molest case is well known to him because has had to both speak to her and discipline her on multiple occasions for lying and making false complaints about classmates she does not like.

Much (most?) of Latino rejection of Kamala Harris can be attributed to misogyny. Never underestimate the power (both on a conscious and a subconscious level) of macho imagery among Latino culture. It is almost as intense as extreme Islamic misogyny.

The reason it is called a 'totality of the circumstances' analysis is because you don't take each bit of information and analyze it in isolation. If you do that, even the strongest can begin to seem like flimsy building blocks. That is what Johnny Cochran successfully did in the OJ Simpson trial. As a general rule, it is a disingenuous and misleading manner of analyzing an event. That's how you get people buying into conspiracy theories and mass-appeal like such we hear about the JFK assassination and aliens from outer space and even mundane things such as the dangers of getting vaccinated and the 'true' origins of COVID.

What rational people do is look at the big picture. Almost always, the little quirky details that raise doubts among conspiracy theorists fall in place when viewed within the bigger context of the actual event. Currently, MAGgots don't want to do that in relation to the strong case to be made about Trump's history of pedophilia. Misrepresent a detail here. Deflect to a Democrats bad behavior from years ago there. Bring up an unrelated or misreported rumor to deny a bad fact or a particularly disturbing witness such as Epstein himself. Keep blowing that smoke as fast as they can. Maggots are pulling every pathetic defense obfuscation in the book and forcing every detail to be viewed out of the proper (big picture) context.

These newly released emails today should be the final nail in the coffin for honest, truth-oriented observers. But only when placed within the context and totality of all the other undisputed circumstances. Trump is a pedophile. When it requires coincidence after coincidence after coincidence to refute an allegation, then the allegation is almost always accurate. But again, stupid people such as the maggots do not want to and are intellectually unable to handle that.

The last jury trial similar to this before retiring, I was able to finagle the district attorney to offer my client a probation disposition. The client turned it down insisting this was all just circumstantial and hearsay evidence. He is now currently serving 7y8m in prison. Pathetic.

#73: Yes, I defended lots of pedophiles in criminal court. And I know a dead to rights' guilty client when I hear one and see the surrounding circumstances. If Trump was forced to trial for child molestation based on the evidence made public so far, it would take a jury less than an hour to convict him. I would almost certainly advise him to consider a plea bargain. And that is the truth based on over thirty years of working cases like this, and more than a hundred jury trials. The jury would NOT view Trump favorably.

In fact, other than public defenders who have no choice if the client chooses to go to jury on this type of strong circumstantial evidence , the only private attorneys willing to try cases like this are getting paid exhorbitant amounts or receiving tons of free publicity.

Trust me. This type of train wreck was my bread and butter for decades.

Evade regularly blocks the posts of global warming deniers as being obviously false and also harmful in their own right. What will it take to get Rcade to block the posts of Trump Pedophilia deniers for the exact same reasons?

And Boaz, you are nothing more than a pathetic partisan maggot. Your lies mean less than nothing.

Of all the many people who have claimed that they know Trump to be a pedophile, how is it that the only person the maggots choose to believe is the pedophile himself, who has the strongest incentive of anyone to lie? It is undisputed Trump has been to Epstein's Pedophile Island on numerous occasions. It is undisputed that Trump and Epstein were best friend for many years. It is undisputed Trump has no qualms about extra-marital sex. It is undisputed he sent a ------------------ birthday card to Epstein. It is undisputed that Trump has bribed many women to keep quiet about his sexual behavior, and used his enforcers to either threaten or bury other sexual escapades. It is undisputed that Epstein died under the most suspicious circumstances imaginable while in jail, and mysteriously the jail footage of the time period when the "suicide" occurred has gone missing ... . And was just weeks after another so-called "suicide" attempt that occurred again under similar circumstances. To say nothing of all those photos of Trump and Epstein partying it up together."@@ AND we have Epstein's emails themselves which make Trump's pedohilia obvious to honest observer.

In the criminal system, it is known as the totality of the circumstances analysis. Short of a confession by the perpetrator, it is the most commons means to conviction at a jury trial.

Only a maggot fool can continue to deny to themselves that Trump is a pedophile. How much more obvious can it get? One of the saddest phenomena I have ever witnessed.

Everybody knows Trump is a pedophile. It is only the maggots who can't ever accept it. Some people are just lost and all you can do is watch.

The West is the Best. Looked out my window. Blue skies. Short sleeve shirts. About 65 degrees. Perfect November day in the Sunshine State. Maybe I'll take my dog for a walk in the nearby canyons.

Why do the maggots on this site assume the jury consisted of liberals? Right, Center and Left, most people know -------- when they hear it. And this criminal prosecution was the definition of prosecution over-reaction.

Burn in Hell, Dick! An evil, racist, warmongering, liar!

I voted yesterday in Ventura County at the local Government Center. I was surprised by the size of the turn-out. Usually I can zip in and zip out when I vote. Yesterday I had to wait on line for about half an hour. And here is the BIG kicker: the only issue on the ballot was Prop 50. Meaning, no candidates running for State or local office and no array of propositions and local issue ballots. Just one thing to vote on in the entire ballot: Prop 50. And that alone seemed to draw a very large turnout in California.

Chew on that maggots. We REALLY despise Trump in these parts. And I hope the people in the deep red States read this and begin to understand how deeply Trump is hated by much of the nation.

Why won't he just die already?

Where are the maggots defending Fuentes.

Crickets

Kirk's was steaming pile of ----. Now he is dead and the world is a better place. Get over it maggots.

Grifters gonna grift.

MAGA and Sucker are synonomous.

Ironically, undisputedly Argentina has the best beef in the world. Having lived there, let me confirm that nothing from the USA comes close. Sorry.

I would not help human traffickers. But I sure as hell would gladly represent people unlawfully targeted and hassled by ICE.
