  • defense attorneys are a vital aspect of modern justice, and its not simply unethical but utterly tyrannical to think that people aren’t entitled to a vigorous and competent defense.

    Without the process of a trial to determine guilt, you’re literally just taking the prosecution’s word for it. Without a defense attorney being a right, the outcome of trial is more likely to be predicated on if they can afford a lawyer. the average person simply cannot competently represent themselves. Hell. most lawyers know better than to represent themselves.

    keep in mind, if someone is clearly guilty such that it can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, most defense attorneys won’t let you not plead guilty for a deal. Their obligation is to seek the best possible outcome for their client, and sometimes that means pleading out.

    Late 90’s, early 2k’s, it was far more disgusting that just “trash”. It hasn’t changed any since then, either. The food is all microwaved, deep fried or baked; all from frozen. And you might be inclined to think baked stuff wouldn’t be so bad. But the only thing that came out of an oven was the pizza - and I’m pretty sure they’d have fried that too, if they could.

    The closest any of that came to decent food is when the delivery truck passed by the grocery store.

    One time, a friend had grabbed strawberry milk, and ended up gagging on a gelatinous rope that some how came out his nose. (You know the pasta trick? In the mouth? Out the nose?)

    It came out to jiggle on his tray like pink snotty jello from hell.

    The only reason people ate that crap is largely because they didn’t have a choice.
