BearOfaTime , in NFL slammed with $4.7 billion verdict in Sunday Ticket antitrust trial

Well, it's a start.

Od course some court will reduce it.

ultratiem , in Judge denies Alec Baldwin’s plea to dismiss case in fatal Rust shooting
@ultratiem@lemmy.ca avatar

FBI testing heavily damaged the firearm before Baldwin’s team was able to examine it for any potential modifications, and authorities failed to photograph the individual elements of the firearm beforehand, the defense had argued.

Looks like he's still sticking to his "the gun just fired by itself" defence. Which is both sad and confusing as he pulled it out on set with the intention to pull the trigger for the scene. Whether it went off on its own is moot as even if it didn't, he would still moments later have pulled the trigger. It's not like the gun flew out of hits holster and shot Hutchins.

The FBI and an independent firearms expert found the gun functioned normally and would not fire without the trigger depressed, but Baldwin’s defense team has argued that the firearm was prone to malfunctioning.

So you admittedly used a known, malfunctioning gun? How is that better or even exonerates him in this case? I guess based on his history with finance, he got one of those bargain basement lawyers to build his defence.

The entire set was a gong show and this is what happens when you don't follow the proper safety rules and bring in a bunch of unqualified people because you stiffed the former crew for pay. Sad that an innocent person had to die.

It wasn't even an actual scene being filmed, It was blocking (working out the details of an actor’s moves in relation to the camera) where non-functioning props like cardboard are usually used. The scene script in question also didn't even have him pointing the gun. He was supposed to only draw the gun out partially.

So he just whipped it out for fun? This just gets worse as more details emerge

BenFranklinsDick , in Dutch appellate court rules against Oracle and Salesforce in a GDPR-related cookie case

Why does this have an AI generated picture of chocolate chip cookies instead of ANYTHING related to the actual article? A company logo, a dutch flag, a court symbol, a fucking computer, literally anything else.

The article does talk about web cookies, so they probably thought they were being cheeky.

ChowJeeBai , in New Zealand woman sues partner for not taking her to airport

That'll make the next lunch a bit awkward...

Shou , in New Zealand woman sues partner for not taking her to airport

That's fucked up.

Darkassassin07 , in Lawsuit Filed Challenging Constitutionality Of Vast Network Of Illinois License Plate Readers
@Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca avatar

I don't mind the concept of automatic plate readers; but that data should not be retained. (specifically; images that don't match the hot list, should be immediately discarded)

Taking the photos isn't an issue, it's aggregating that info into a long-term searchable database of people's movements that's the problem.

That information will be released/abused; either by leaks/insiders or via systems breach.

pdxfed , in Oklahoma Supreme Court rejects state education board's authority over public school libraries

So the right wing supporters of small government want to have the state decide which books can be read at school?

Seems pretty authoritarian to me.

Tylerdurdon , in Chemical Makers Sue Over Rule to Rid Water of ‘Forever Chemicals’

Industry groups can kiss my hairy ass, thank you very much.

rockSlayer , in Chemical Makers Sue Over Rule to Rid Water of ‘Forever Chemicals’

you can't do that, what about our profits??!?

Tar_alcaran , in Elon Musk drops lawsuit against OpenAI

Musk is straightforwardly alleging that OpenAI breached a contract that does not exist. It is simply not a thing! The complaint makes reference to a “Founding Agreement,” but no such Founding Agreement is attached as an exhibit, and the breach of contract claim admits that the “Founding Agreement” is basically a vibe everyone caught in some emails.

That's hilarious. At least his lawyer talked some sense into him at the last second

Lemminary , in US banana giant ordered to pay $38m to families of Colombian men killed by death squads

Oh no, a whopping $38m they made in less than a year. What will they do.

Lemminary , in Hunter Biden found guilty on all three charges in federal gun case

So he's being convicted for breaking gun laws and Republicans are touting this as a major case? Aren't they supposed to be against these things? Fucking hilarious.

Cool, we are done then. What will Republicants pitch about now?

kurikai , in Rebecca Grossman gets 15 years to life in prison for killing two young boys with her car in Los Angeles

Not long enough
