Just contacted the Mrs to pick up some booze and she replied that she already returned from the supermarket and has no intention of going back out.

So I'll have to stop to pick up vermouth on the way home. She texted me back to pick up some booze for her too. Looks like we're finally on the same page.

@BD: Did you finish watching the Making a Murderer? If so, what did you think?
I watched the whole series.  IMHO, I would have to have complete, undisputed evidence (beyond a shadow of a doubt,) in order to vote guilty.  Almost everything about the case was screwed up. Nothing made sense.  I've only sat on one jury, and it was not about finding the truth.  It was about the DA winning at any cost, and the defense attorney doing any thing he could to persuade the jury. I don't want to spoil it for anyone else, but I feel this is the first attempt to allow the public know how corrupt our court system is.  Rich people get off, and poor people feed the money making prison system.

cognac is still on the counter from earlier in the week, also I can finally try the homemade lemonciello, someone gifted me with.

You're smarter than them Tony.  Avoid their errors like burning the victims belongings in a barrel next to the house and burning the victims body in a burn mound on your property and you should be in good shape.

Wild docu-series - really enjoyed watching it, never going to Wisco to commit a crime that's for sure.

Good morning, gents. Still employed here but it's been a tortuous week. About a quarter of my team was notified that they would be laid off. We were one of the least affected teams. I think I'm safe for now until April.
You dodged the bullet again.  Are congratulations due?  At least you can plan on a few more paychecks.  Morning Antnee.

I still have some lemonciello from one friend and Nocino (green walnut liqueur) from another friend  (had never heard of that before him)

We overuse the word corruption. It's corruption when the judge or the prosecution gets bribed. What you describe is the inherent flaw in a capitalist democratic republic: you get what you pay for. If you have more money, you can hire a better lawyer, and a better lawyer is your only defense against a venal prosecutor.

Shows how differently you can spin a story by leaving just a few facts out...
...and how easy it is to have the bleeding heart liberal commies signing petitions and protesting on your behalf.

Interesting perspective. I was on a jury once and we wound up letting the guy go although he very well could have been guilty. In my case the prosecutor did a very shitty job proving her case beyond a reasonable doubt. Agree that the system has flaws. Unfortunately, it still appears to be the best system out there.

It gets worse...the union I was legislated into helps perpetuate the prison system - just try to propose closing prisons and reducing the workforce.
