Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I haven't heard that his defense team is trying to claim that... I feel like if that was reality they would have. Maybe not, but I feel it.
Proving Luigi wasn't there somehow would be their job in court. Considering he was arrested, there may not be a clearly provable alibi like in To Kill A Mockingbird.
What would the defense say? "That wasn't him, just someone who looks similar."
They already claim that by pleading innocent at the start.
Not really... "not guilty" can mean, he didn't do it, or else he was temporarily insane because he was in pain from his medical condition, or even Ed Snowden's "yeah I did it and it was illegal but at the end of the day I was right to do it and I think I can convince a jury of that." Or just the OJ Simpson "let's talk about something else for a while and change the subject" defense. It could be a lot of things.
But I do get it that that might be their defense and they're just not saying anything about it because they're waiting for the trial to lay out anything at all about it.
Well thats the thing. Nobody in the history of court has plead innocent. Thats not a thing. You can plead guilty, no contest, or not guilty.
And "not guilty" isn't the same as "innocent"
I'm sorry I don't know all the arcane incantations of your court system of the top of my head.
A good defense team doesn't go around screaming what their defense strategy is going to be. Just because they aren't telling YOU, doesn't mean they have a bad defense strategy. They drop their bombs when the time is right.
Yeah. Sometimes for high-profile cases, lawyers have a habit of giving press conferences and things, but that's kind of an exception to the norm and not necessarily a good idea I think.
