Seems you’ll be waiting a long time for those facts to show up. :/


Stellantis fucked Canada. Why in the hell would we want anything to do with Stellantis now???


In every media source I’ve read about this the 40 pages are listed as having rap lyrics. Maybe that’s how the cops described it, or the prosecutors decided that’s what they’d label it to gain the death penalty.


Because his ‘confession’ was not gained by police. It was given while speaking to the press, and as far as I can tell (from reading multiple different media sources) it was not used during the trial as evidence.


A rhyme on paper is poetry.
Are you an expert on writing lyrics? Or poetry? Who decided that you have the last word on how lyrics can become part of a song or part of a poem?
Your arrogance is showing.


None.
Notably, the bill withhold funds from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and part of Customs and Border Protection (CBP).


I take it you missed the part of the title where it says the rap lyrics “helped” convict him … not ‘did’ convict him.


It’s in the summary above and the article.
During the sentencing phase of Broadnax’s capital trial, prosecutors presented the jury with 40 pages of the defendant’s notebooks found in a suitcase after his arrest. The state carefully selected rap lyrics infused with violent images of murder, robbery and drugs, to make the case that Broadnax should be sentenced to death. Its lawyers skirted over lyrics addressing peaceful narratives such as redemption and love. For the ultimate punishment to be secured under Texas law, jurors would have to be persuaded that the defendant posed a threat of “future dangerousness”.
By leaning heavily on rap lyrics and racist dog whistles, Texas prosecutors managed to drown out mitigating evidence that might have spared Broadnax’s life. His defense lawyers emphasised that Broadnax was just 19 when the murders took place. He had endured an abusive childhood at the hands of a grandmother who locked him up in his room without food and frequently beat him. And despite such a traumatic background, he had no previous criminal record other than a single conviction for non-violent marijuana possession.
The jury was clearly less swayed by such details than by the prosecutors’ lurid invocation of the rap lyrics. Jurors asked to see the notebooks twice during their deliberations. Then they sent Broadnax to death row.


This was one of the most difficult articles to parse.

Twump says twat?


A spokesperson for the rap star, 31, confirmed to The Times on Wednesday that the artist’s doctors “ultimately identified extreme exhaustion, dehydration, vasoconstriction and low metabolic levels as the cause of her symptoms.” The Grammy-winning “Savage” star received treatment and has been discharged to rest, the spokesperson added.


Just wait till y’all hear how he got rid of the leftover Epstein files.


It was only a few months ago I made a similar comment here and got the same response.


Jfc. The shit this administration spews - and expects the American public to swallow - is epic in its proportions.


So are some comments.
Good for you. :)
