Trump about a payment to playboy model Karen Mcdougal before the 2016 election. Could be a recording of a recording, were not sure yet. That they can probably determine. Youre right. We may never be able to determine that but we have determined the fact that he campered with the tape in the sense that he abruptly midconversation turned it off. Giuliani told abc news we have complained to them that Michael Cohen has violated the Attorney Client privilege publicly and privately. In a statement to ...

Various crimes. they are not set in stone. the court has the discretion to depart from guidelines depending on the particular facts of the ca case. a downward durational departure is justified if a crime is less onerous than typical. if the conduct is significantly less serious than that typically involved in the commission of the crime, sentencing below the guidelines is justified. i find the facts and circumstances here justify a downward departure from the guidelines. first, officer potters c...

Here. rehabilitation is also not a purpose that would justify incarceration in this case. ms. potter does not require rehabilitation to become a law-abiding citizen. retribution or serving time as a way for a convicted person to pay for the harm inflicted on a victim is the sole purpose that applies in this case. and in this case, a young man was killed because officer potter was reckless. there rightfully should be some accountability. sentencing guidelines are just that. they are guidelines th...

His sister give that powerful testimony. you remember ahmauds sister talk about the blackness and how the defense tried to use the blackness to paint him as someone menacing but to say it was his super power and it was beautiful. but will fight for justice until driving while black is no longer a death sentence. very similar theme to what we heard from ahmaud arberys family. this notion that by virtue of just being an african-american person, that makes you a target, that makes you someone that ...

Officer potter was required to make a split-second judgment. that constitutes a mitigating circumstance. finally, unlike other manslaughter one cases, officer potters actions were not driven by personal animosity toward daunte wright. instead she, was acting in the line of duty in effectuating a lawful arrest. this case is highly unusual. the other officer cases tried in this court are distinguishable. this is not a cop found guilty of murder for using his knee to pin down a person for 9 1/2 min...

Inaggravating factors that were brought up in this case. as i mentioned before, the state initially took the position miss potter should receive a sentence above the guidelines and filed a brief in support of two aggravating factors under blakely. all parties agreed that i would determine whether aggregating factors existed to justify a harsher sentence than that set forth in the guidelines. i feel compelled to address the grounds for that request, because they were made public and i think it is...

Sides. and you know, what makes this case so maddening, so, just upsetting is that theres really not much dispute about what actually happened. it does seem like kim potter thought she was pulling out her taser, but instead, took out a gun and shot daunte wright. thats different from the ahmaud arbery case which was a horrible indivigilante intentional murded the sentence will clearly be lower. however, that doesnt make the pain of daunte wrights family any less. the fact that the officer killed...

The misdemeanor predicate for the manslaughter count was reckless handling or use of a firearm. here, everybody agrees, and the evidence is undisputed that officer potter never intended to use her firearm. she mistakenly drew her firearm at all times intending to use her taser. there were police officers and experts who testified that the use of her taser was reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances presented for officer safety reasons. the fact she never intended to draw her firearm m...

P purposes of incarceration. there are four. retribution, incapacitation, deterrence and rehabilitation. three of the four would not be served in this case. incapacitation refers to the removal of a convicted person to prevent them from committing future crimes. that is not an issue in this case. kimberly potter does not present a danger of future crimes, obviously. deterrence refers to the prevention of future crime and the idea that those who have committed crimes will be discouraged from reof...

Third, multiple witnesses, trump administration officials testified that vice president biden did nothing wrong, including mr. kent, ambassador yovanovitch, mr. holmes, ambassador volker. vice presidents firing of the prior prosecutor was done in accordance with official u.s. policy. it was approved by the justice department. it was the policy of the united states. it was supported by the european union and many countries throughout europe in a bipartisan coalition in congress. this is a corrupt...
