The Royals don’t seem to believe their boy.
Now I’m beginning to wonder how long Prince Andrew will remain among us…
He could take his brother with him.
Jizzlane’s going to get a new trial imo, and she should. Apparently the juror lied on the form and then talked about his sexual abuse in the jury room, basically testifying to the rest of the jury about his experience and how it relates to the case. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks, what a great way to buy off a juror, he both generates and invalidates the verdict. Brilliant.
And the juror should be prosecuted for perjury.
Juror misconduct very rarely leads to convictions being overturned. It’s possible in this case, but it’s rare generally.
And there’s no way this juror gets prosecuted for perjury IMO regardless of what happens with this verdict.
Um. yeah. Dick Wolf has shown me over and over and over that this does happen. Duh.
I’ll bet he gets to keep the hat in private and will still wear it when he has sex with teenagers, maybe sometimes he will slyly have them wear it in bed too, and then everyone will have a good laugh.
NPR dude yesterday made the point that bc of their hereditary nature, Andrew’s titles and whatever else goes with being a prince can’t really be taken away. He’s just agreed not to use them, which means nothing.
Does he at least no longer get his stipends?
I’ve played enough Crusader Kings to know that these titles could definitely be taken away if the Queen really wanted to.
I guess that if it came to it he could fight for whatever he’s (literally!) entitled to and win but it’s better for the him and the fam not to get into it in public so he agrees to this while still getting paid one way or another.
When you have an heir who’s a failson, the best thing is to send him off to lead a completely hopeless war against the Holy Roman Empire and hope he dies in battle.
I don’t know the game. Or the real life version either, except from Shakespeare- it means war if the Queen tries. Does she have it in her at the end of her life when she wants to be celebrating her glorious reign?
Problem for me is that most of the time he just gets captured and then returned as a maimed-cripple.
That might work for a younger Queen that doesn’t fear the end of the monarchy. Might have to settle for something less dramatic in this case.
Yeah that’s usually what happens in the game also, that’s why it’s more sneaky to have your failsons get killed in some dumb war somewhere. Or else they come back maimed and even less competent.
