The Briefingroom Polls / Re: Jake Paul, 27, to fight 57-year-old Mike Tyson live on Netflix July 20
« Last post by 240B on Today at 02:39:18 pm »Jake Paul will win. If the 57 year old Tyson manages to get a freak good hit, Paul is gone.
But that is unlikely since Paul has the youth and the vigor to withstand almost anything.

Judge tells jury to 'not speculate' about possible Trump sentencing
By Kyle Schnitzer
Justice Juan Merchan tells the jurors that they "may not speculate about matters related to sentence or punishment."
In other words, the judge will decide Trump's sentence if there is a verdict of guilty.

Merchan says the jury may consider if a witness had a motive to lie and if they had a benefit in their testimony or if they had an interest.
My note: It is obvious that the jury must consider that for both Porn Star Stormy Daniels and GLOAT Michael Cohen.

Merchan addressing redacted material saying that the jury must not draw any conclusions of what was redacted.
Merchan now listing the limiting instructions and includes David Pecker, and Michael Cohen’s guilty pleas. He says the Jury may not consider the GLOAT’s guilty pleas when deliberating over the defendant’s guilt or innocence.
Quote
The “Honorable Judge” Merchan is now explaining the fundamental principles of our law: the presumption of innocence, the burden of proof and guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. “The people have the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.”
“The defendant never has the burden of proof.”
“The burden of proof never shifts from the people to the defendant.”

Merchan still explaining reasonable doubt and continues that guilt cannot be proven by speculation.
“If you are not convinced that the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of a crime., you must not convict the defendant of a crime.”

World War II veteran Hilbert Margol and his twin brother, Howard Margol, were a part of the 42nd Infantry Division that liberated the Dachau concentration camp on April 29, 1945. (Brynn Anderson/AP)
DUNWOODY, Ga. — A profile of Hilbert Margol, of Dunwoody, Georgia, one of a dwindling number of veterans took part in the Allies’ European war effort that led to the defeat of Nazi Germany.
Army Pfc. Hilbert Margol
Born: Feb. 22, 1924, Jacksonville, Florida.
Service: Army, Battery B, 392nd Field Artillery Battalion, 42nd Infantry Division. Was part of a unit, also including his twin brother, Howard Margol, that liberated the Dachau concentration camp on April 29, 1945.
“Outlive the offspring of the deniers”
Victory over Germany was in sight for the Allies on April 29, 1945, as the 42nd Infantry Division stormed toward Munich. Hilbert Margol and his twin brother Howard, now deceased, were part of an artillery convoy heading for the city on a two-lane road through the woods. As Margol remembers it, the convoy was stopped and the Howard brothers were permitted by their sergeant to investigate the source of a stench wafting over the area. After a short walk through the woods they spotted boxcars.
A human leg dangled from one of them.

Army 1st Lt. Nathan Baskind receives a final salute during a dignified recovery of remains ceremony at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center chapel in Germany on Tuesday, May 28, 2024. U.S. Army and German honor guard members paid their respects to Baskind, whose remains were recently recovered from a World War II mass grave in France and identified by a team of experts.
(Jennifer H. Svan/Stars and Stripes) LANDSTUHL, Germany — The remains of a Jewish-American soldier who died in 1944 and was buried with Nazis in a mass grave in occupied France were given to U.S. officials Tuesday during a transfer ceremony at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. The case of Army 1st Lt. Nathan Baskind, 28, marks only the second time that a group outside the Defense Department has identified a missing U.S. service member. The German War Grave Commission in 2023 partnered with two American organizations, the PFC Lawrence Gordon Foundation and Operation Benjamin, to disinter and identify Baskind’s remains, which had first been co-mingled in a mass grave in Cherbourg.
“I am profoundly thankful for the extraordinary lengths that all of those groups have gone to do the unbelievable,” Baskind’s great-niece, Samantha Baskind, said by phone Thursday. The burial “will be a beautiful day for my uncle.”

Military/Defense News / US military funeral traditions honor the fallen on land, air and sea

Growing numbers of Vietnam veterans are being laid to rest in recent years, and in many cases their families are attending military funerals. Every eligible veteran can receive military funeral honors.
Among military burial traditions, the 21-gun salute is the oldest. In the 14th century, warships and shore forces fired off their guns to show that their weapons were empty and they were friendly.
Also of artillery origin, dating at least to the 18th century, is the custom of carrying a head of state or high-ranking military official on a two-wheeled horse-drawn caisson.
Taps — referring to a soft triple beat on the drum — was composed by Union Brig. Gen. Daniel Adams Butterfield in 1862 as a quieter substitute for gunfire to signal the end of the day’s activities. It was later adopted to a soldier’s final rest.
