the Transition from story 9 to 10 made me laugh hard^^
Story 9: A tree on womans poperty fell into water and blocked her boat
Beginn of Story 10: "I work for a tree trimming

[enigmaticspirit]

My Dad (an EMT) was once sued for sexual harassment after he performed CPR and saved a woman's life. For touching her breasts.
The union defended him superbly. Naturally. No good deed goes unpunished.

For those who don't know what double jeopardy means, it's essentially unable to be punished for the crime you have already been punished for. You can pay for an item with a dollar but you can't then pay for another item with the same dollar. You can however pay with another dollar. You can only be punished once per crime. And you will be punished for every instance of crime even if they are the same kind

[marc-andreservant]

Yeah, cops usually need an arrest warrant to knock down your door and grab you, but there's an exception for hot pursuit (i.e. multiple cops saw you commit the shooting and run home). No warrant needed in that case, they can just break into whatever place they saw you run into.

Story #8: if the man is as devout as he seems, then he should see this situation for what it is; God's way of telling him to not have any more kids, 7 is quite enough.

[birddemon]

"He just wanted to scare her" *proceeds to describe the textbook definition of a threat*

[PowerStruggle]

story #2:How I see if she got a lawyer to sue first lawyer. Lose case, has new lawyer fees, sue 2nd lawyer for losing first case (aka how much she "shouldve won" plus the lawyers fees they charged. hires new lawyer...loses soon she owes many lawyers...more than initial money

[caleahhhh]

can you imagine the hell we'd all be living in if you could only be convicted for a crime once

[JordanLahiff]

Story #12 is almost verbatim my best friend and her brothers father. Sadly, he was disowned by his rich family before the kids were even born, so they'll never see that money

[NeoRazgriz]

Story 11: Like many other examples here, the hardest terms/conviction is what SHOULD happen. The criminal shows no remorse for ANY wrongdoing and is so dumb, it is better they don’t breed and further pollute society with their DNA/stupidity.

If I got just shy of a million dollars and my legal council asked for 270k, I'd send them 270k and a fruit basket. Geez Louise.

[NinetyLegos]

Story 23: THAT'S THE DEFINITION OF A DEATH THREAT!!!

[Nupetiet]

some of these go to show that a defense attorney's job isn't necessarily to get an acquittal—it's to protect the defendant's rights and pursue the best outcome they can. Guilty defendants need representation, too.

[Acerthorn]

For Story #13, isn't it legal to fire someone for belief that they've committed a crime against the employer, even if their belief was patently false, and even if the allegation was so provably false that it would absolutely be a slam dunk case for defamation in most other circumstances?

[moneyman]

Story 4 is what a famous pizza chain did use to do and it was a 30 min or less and you get your food for free type thing. They ended it after a bunch of accidents and several deaths by their delivery drivers trying to get to the houses in under 30 minutes.

[amanawolf]

4:09 That one PO's me to no end. A person's life is in danger, and the SoB only cares about the wife like she's a breeding sow. Bastard.

[jonathanlanglois]

16:20 That Nike catch phrase is one of those that I really think should not be copyrightable. The words "just do it" is one of those short phrases that just about anybody will have heard at one point or another. We all have those moments when we are unhappy about the task being given to us and get told to "just do it".

[fastertrackcreative]

40 years? For a crime that severe (the one resulting in paralysis) it should be a life sentence. The victim essentially has a life sentence.

That last story: Guy be like “base! I’m touching base!”

[Dr._Weiner]

That Judge Judy clip where the guys were on trial for stealing a woman’s purse, and while the woman is listing the items stolen one of the guys literally says “that wasn’t in the purse”😂
