this horrific crime he committed, that he should get some sort of leniency or at least not the maximum sentence. the young man we heard from from the organization that posted the video says that s not the reasoning, but can that work to his advantage with a judge? well, if you were his lawyer and he s done this video and he s done it, you know, there s no strings attached, he obviously has some degree of remorse. i would my argument to the judge is look, he literally did something that you very rarely see in the criminal justice system, he threw himself literally on the mercy of the court. and he s ready to accept responsibility. if you re in the federal system, you get bonus points for that, even after you ve been indicted. here, he hasn t been indicted yet and he s getting, you know, he s got a prosecutor who so far apparently is not giving him any credit for it. i think that that s going to
because he did this, he is trying to do some good after this horrific crime he committed, that he should get some sort of leniency or at least not the maximum sentence. the young man we heard from from the organization that posted the video says that s not the reasoning, but can that work to his advantage with a judge? well, if you were his lawyer and he s done this video and he s done it, you know, there s no strings attached, he obviously has some degree of remorse. i would my argument to the judge is look, he literally did something that you very rarely see in the criminal justice system, he threw himself literally on the mercy of the court. and he s ready to accept responsibility. if you re in the federal system, you get bonus points for that, even after you ve been indicted. here, he hasn t been indicted yet and he s getting, you know, he s got a prosecutor who so far
a randomized trial so some group of people that didn t get money and some did and get real data this year. we kind of don t know yet. anecdotally, people are doing including things but does not seem like people are drinking the money away. which is one of the concerns in terms of traditional charity giving? serm. when you sort of tell somebody about this idea like here is this charity giving people money the first thing they say, drink it away. bernard omandi is one of the characters you wrote about in hurry your piece. how does he get the money? there he is on the screen. people showed up in his village one day last year, we are from this charity and give you a thousand dollars with no strings attached. he didn t believe it, right? it s weird for somebody to be like we are giving you money. when you make $2 a day?
