  • They don’t need the defendant to do anything to confirm they are who they are supposed to be. Where do you get this? The prosecution can provide fingerprint evidence, ID from the file, not the person… judge can ask once “are you …”. If the answer is not yes or no, he can warn them that the prosecutions evidence will be dnough if they don’t answer. And if yhey still don’t, just accept that evidrnce and move on. 5 minutes tops.
    If they keep interrupting, move them to a room where they join by video and are muted when it isn’t thier turn to speak. This “can” be done. But the judges I have knowledge don’t tend to choose efficiency.



  • Of course not all sovcits are the same. But I have heard the real ones are no fan of these youtube wannabe sovcits. That said. Sounds like they are playing on the judges egos. There is a default answer to all of those initial questions if the person refuses to answer with y/n or guilty/not… The judge doesn’t have to lets it last for hours. But from my and others I knows experience with judges and jury duty, judges seem to be more than happy to waste time telling people how they should be respected and such. I am sure not all judges are like that of course. But they seem to be hell bent to establish thier power over people. Even at conferences outside the courthouse. The job doesn’t seem to attract a humble bunch.








  • It is spreading for a reason though. There certainly is a difference between raping an 8 year old and a 16 year old. And medically it is defined as “sexual interest in prepubescent children.” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19327034/ People have started slinging the term even at guys dating 20 something year old women just because they are 50 or 60. In short, the term has been made into a dog whistle and used were it doesn’t apply because it carries more negative connotations than terms like statutory rape, sexual assualt of a minor, sex trafficking.

    Frankly, I think the term has been cheapened by this misuse. Now when people here someone is a pedo, instead of immediate revulsion, they have to ask, “what kind of pedo”. It shouldn’t be that way. All of the phrases should be bad enough that we don’t need to exaggerate. So it is more the acceptance that statutory rape is ok that is the source of the problem.

    That said, the motives for this talking head to say what she said are purely political. Her words aren’t worth spit.
