I don't want to think about that, despite which I now can't help but wonder if she's more competent in the bedroom than she is in the courtroom.

Well, for once he's not wrong. She certainly proved herself to be an incompetent loser of a lawyer. Even I knew you don't show up in a federal court room without already having memorized the rules for basic shit like introducing evidence.

Haha, different meaning of the word. Referring to "chaps" the clothing item from the Western part of the U.S., not to folks who don't have an ass. Chaps were made of leather and worn over jeans to protect to protect the inside seam area of them from excess wear from rubbing against the side of the saddle and the stirrup straps when spending a long time riding a horse. Or are sometimes worn without the jeans by men being lewd.

The technicalities can get weird, but it makes a huge difference. In the US (it works differently in different legal systems) even the defendant's basic constitutional rights are different between civil and criminal proceedings. For example you can't plead the 5th (invoke the right to not be compelled to provide incriminating evidence against yourself) in a civil trial because your testimony couldn't incriminate when the trial's not criminal. Any evidence gathered this way in a civil trial is therefore inadmissible in a criminal trial about the same matters. That's why Bill Cosby got his rape conviction overturned on appeal. A lot of the criminal case against him was based on evidence he was compelled to give when he got sued over it earlier, so it shouldn't have been allowed in the criminal trial. The appeal didn't find him innocent, just that the conviction had to be thrown out because the process had violated his rights.

TeChNiCaLlY, unless I missed something big, he wasn't convicted of the rape. That requires a criminal trial. A jury did find that he raped her as a material fact in a civil trial, so we can say with legal certainty that it happened, but until an actual conviction, it will be used as a excuse to avoid holding him to account for it. Of course a bunch of the right are the type to blame the victim or wave it off entirely for that particular crime anyway so I don't know how much difference even a conviction would make to them.

Joy ride and running drugs are common reasons to steal any old car. Whoever has been stealing it clearly isn't doing so to keep it since the same car keeps getting stolen again.

Now I want to know if DeVinci had any rivalries with other artists that we could bring back.

Man I loved that game. I still have an original copy around somewhere which still has the included peril sensitive sunglasses (they're made of black cardboard, but they're technically fully functional because there's peril everywhere you look).

Pidgeon -> Parrot -> Turkey

I think it would be Pigeon -> Parrot -> Pheasant -> Peacock, but then I don't know a lot about Pokemon.
