The prince and the sex offender

[babylonsinger]

Whilst I feel he'll no doubt get off on some technicality or by paying her off his lack of genuine remorse and awareness speaks volumes. You reap what you sow when you spend half your life sucking up to various people of dubious morals

I confess I don't like him, BUT.... I do not trust the American judiciary in any way with it's blatantly political control. I also don't understand how an Australian citizen can take legal proceedings against a Brit in an American court.
It all looks very much like a money chasing excersize to me, even if I don't trust or like Andrew.

She’s a dual citizen is she not? Born in the US but lives in Aus and granted Aus citizenship but still retains US citizen status?

I'm sure once all the staff at Woking Pizza Express confirm his story all will be forgotten

For a while this morning I was wondering who this Andrew Windsor geezer was.

I'm sure once all the staff at Woking Pizza Express confirm his story all will be forgotten

Surely, if his alibi is accurate then either a bank statement showing a receipt or the security services confirming his location knocks this whole thing down stone dead doesn't it?

She was born in USA.
US citizenship can be renounced (by the citizen), but not revoked (by the Government). Revocation would violate the 14th Amendment.
And, fwiw, it's really only the Supreme Court that's under 'blatantly political control. Lower courts tend to rule on law or make rulings that can be appealed to a higher court, with the Supreme Court being the highest - and where members are appointed by politicians.

Hoda Muthana and her family might disagree.

She and they did! And the consequent court case(s) either ruled against her or refused to hear her case.
She was deemed not to have been a birthright citizen - associated with her father's diplomatic status.

I've watched "Making a Murderer" on Netflix. The US criminal system is corrupt to the core

Are judges not chosen by the ruling President/their office's minions or voted into office?

I can't comment on a documentary I haven't seen. But do you mean 'the US criminal system' or the US Courts system'? Different things to me.

In terms of the documentary, both.

Some, not all.

Federal judges are appointed by the President and/but confirmed by The Senate

Might watch it some time then.
Of course, it's an opinion/case presentation, not necessarily one that's correct.
I certainly have more faith in the UK court system than the US one.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

The Royal Family as an institution has recognised a cancer in its midst and has cut it out. Has me thinking.

Therefore political selections take place

Therefore political selections take place

Agreed, I never disputed that. But not all. And some were (politically) rejected.
