I understand the situation. The sentence offered was exactly 6 months. So it was quite as low as 6 months. It was 6 months. Suicide is not an understandable outcome. It was rash, irrational and abnormal. There is nothing more to discus

I never referred to you. Never even linked to your comment directly. Was talking about HN in general. I also never asked you for any data. I would suggest learning to read before you try and form arguments. Like learning to crawl before

I couldn't care if the prosecutor killed them with his bare hands. You disagreed that suicide is abnormal. Post the data that suggests suicide is normal and stop running from your earlier statements.

Another one of those classic HN threads whereby tech geeks attempt to "improve" something you clearly understand very little about and end up being schooled by those with experience. 1. As has been covered; the team names on scre

...and how has that backed up anything you have said? I already know Schwarz killed himself. I already know the prosecutor was zealous. So, either post the aggregated data that shows accused parties kill themselves prior to trial or simp

You are clearly a moron. Not just wrong but an out and out moron. Posting a link to a story from the Daily Mail is the argumentative equivalent of shooting yourself in the face. Widely regarded as the worst newspaper in the United Kingdom.

Oh dear moody moody moody. 1. He was facing 6 months for a plea bargain. Several other lawyers have already commented here how felony charges are listed sequentially as maximum sentencing but that is not how years are applied. It is now

Oh dear - 1. Misunderstanding of felony charges are stated and subsequently sentenced. Check. 2. Misunderstanding of compared suicide rates to criminal sentencing. Check. 3. Comnplete misreading of my sarcasm reagrding lack of data. C

So, ultimately, your assertion is that people cannot make educated guesses about their behaviour in unfamiliar situations? OK. The world is awash with people receiving a criminal sentencing and then killing themselves. It's unfortuna

Nope. The point was a snark which does more to embarrass the poster than myself. I posted a link to someone else's legal disclaimer as an example of how legal advisory services protect themselves. They used it to try and paraphrase m

It hasn't annoyed me. Clarity of language is crucial in discussing the law. How can you offer legal advice without even writing correct English?

In the UK you can vote them out as a Director but it is difficult to get rid of them as shareholders. Some co-founders simply let themselves get booted but still cash in at a later date without have actually accomplished anything.

The power that (coders/doctors/mechanics/opticians/dentists/security professionals) is reminiscent too. That is why we people gain a trade. HN would be in uproar if someone wrote a blog saying - hey you don't

by ZenPro 12y ago
Depends if you consider the blog and subsequent invitation on HN to be an offer to treat - acceptance being the implementation of said advice. Without a legal disclaimer then the blog could theoretically be held accountable as they positi

Are you the copywriter? The grammar and spelling is shocking.

by ZenPro 12y ago
Since you failed to even add a basic legal disclaimer to your own blog I will pass. Unless of course you are stating that your blog constitutes legal advice and I can sue you if things go wrong for me... Every law student will attest that

haha voted down for saying suicide is not normal. Stay classy HN :-)

You have misunderstood me. My point was sexuality is never a choice. Acting on impulse is a choice; suffering from impulse is not. I suggest you go back and re-read what I have written before you embarrass yourself further. I never brou

Just to be clear; your assertion is that no human being make a reasonable or educated guess about their behaviour in a situation that is unfamiliar? That is your assertion?...because it is nonsense if it is. As humans we make effective, edu

50.1% of all living things for it to be biologically normal. 50.1% of human beings for it to be emotionally normal. But; let's also add your comment is nonsense. I don't need empirical data to state suicide is not normal. I am a

Why should people be nice when calling out armchair scientists for writing utter unsubstantiated bullshit? You want nice? Fine. Give everyone the downvote ability. If the forum is still elitist then expect people to respond adversely to bul

Good luck with that as a Court Reporter. Almost all journalists start out at regional or local publications covering Courts. It is considered the apprenticeship of mainstream news journalism.

Not sure why you have been voted down. Oh wait, I do. This is Hacker News; where surface experts abound on every subject and you best not ask for facts, veracity or credibility.

I cannot get around the fact that he was offered leniency (6 months in a low security prison) in return for a plea bargain. He rejected that deal, opting instead for a trial in which prosecutors would have been forced to justify their pursu

Normal life is not suicide. I say that as someone who has talked two people out of suicide. Suicide not a normal emotional, biological or mental state for any living creature. What exactly is wrong with judging someone through a large cano

That is true to a point. But the spectrum is only a public resource under specific conditions and Aereo has not met those conditions according to the law and legal institutions we have empowered to make those decisions. I have read some of
