Bruce Fox, Furry at Law

[Valiere]

I saw a print ad for this guy:

Yeah, with the creepy anthropomorphic fox portrait and everything.

Maybe he's a werefox who is courteously showing us both his human and beast forms so we'll recognize him next time we need a DWI defense.

Or maybe he just has no idea how incredibly stupid that looks.

[Valiere]

I actually served on a jury where the defendant both refused to talk the cop without his lawyer present AND refused to take a breathalyzer test, and we STILL let him off.

I prefer Harvey Birdman.

[Valiere]

...why?

Not enough evidence.

[Archem]

That's how law works in Good America.

[ZeroKirbyX]

George Clooney did it better.

[Archem]

You know, that movie was awesome.

[HobomasterXXX]

That's how law works in Good America.

At least it's not as bad as Phoenix Wright

...why?

Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial.

[Archem]

Yea, innocent until proven guilty. So, unless you can prove guilt (not just feel it), the person walks. Sure, there's a level of flaw, but it mostly works. And when a guilty person gets off because of a lack of evidence, I get this happy feeling inside. The same kind I get when I have a glass of orange juice.


I had to struggle with some sort of recent dyslexia difficulty I've been having. I kept typing "quilt", which won't be caught by spellcheck.

Ironically, "spellcheck" has a red squiggly line under it.

Also, I hope someone sees what I did back there.

Ironically, "spellcheck" has a red squiggly line under it.

So it does.

Innocent until proven guilty may be flawed, but it works better than guilty until proven innocent.

[Archem]

But what about the twist endings where, even though the accused is a scumbag, they're innocent?

...why?

I think law and legal rights here work differently then you think.

Sure, the cop will think you are up to no good if you ask for a lawyer...but the cop is not a judge, or jury.

Even saying something like "I was just passing by and I saw this dead cat" can **** you over without legal presence.

Trust Ben. I was a carreer drug dealer for years, and Ive never spent more then one night in jail. And that was because I was drunk in public.
Mind you, this was before my time at charas.

[Archem]

Lucas, you're wrong. On to the next chapter of this thread.

[Archem]

That meant "end of discussion, you don't seem to get what you're talking about".
