Jakoby Dixon has returned to the Brenham Cubs. The Oklahoma Sooner signee is back for his Senior season.

It's more about salaries and getting more bang for the buck. Houston's farm system is very depleted.

Just curious as to why the different size and type font than the regular size and style. Can you explain please? BTW, using oversize font is frowned upon here. Could be similar to "shouting" (using all caps) which is against forum rules. So I will ask you to no longer use that size font please.

Well you was half right… McGuire being on it lol

[Hidden Content] News Nation video hits on solid facts.

The article didn’t say where she was shot. A gun was found by her body which makes most people think suicide. Statistically, women do not shoot themselves in the head.

Speaking of tough districts, Paradise and Boyd are in the same district and both are in the title games. Divisions 1and 2

I guess trading the only players that are hitting is the way it is done now days that should solve all problems IDK

and other...... Missing nuclear lab worker's body found by hiker in New Mexico forest | Fox News

Good stuff, lol

Hope this puts all doubt to rest.

this exact post? Cute. Are you accusing me? I stand by it. If you find it you can ban me. You are the administrator, I have no reason to lie.

I have to ask why the font size and type is different in the post in question than this exact post? The post in question looks copied and paste.

That's a flat out lie! I challenge you to prove otherwise. If you find it Ill band myself. If you don't find it you band yourself. Man up! Mr. MAGA.

If he's president thats fine with me.. im not one to think im doing better under one or the other.. going into year and a half+ and definitely not financially better.. Midterms will show what Americans think

You copying and pasting again without giving credit?

By law you can’t, notwithstanding people who think it was justified. Texas used to have a law, as some other states do now, that calls killing a person under sudden passion as Manslaughter. The classic is coming home and finding your wife in bed with a guy and maybe understandably losing your temper. The point being that even being upset is not enough but suddenly coming upon something that sets you off where you otherwise probably wouldn’t have. How many people in the Golden Triangle area file for divorce every month after one or the other party was caught cheating? How many resulted in homicide? That is different than walking in and accidentally catching someone in the act. It doesn’t negate the crime, but people are left with the thought of something like, yeah, I understand that. It gives a jury a chance to say that it’s still wrong but with a lesser penalty. You are correct, it’s still Murder because he intentionally killed someone. In some cases, the person may not have had time to think it out rationally. Quite a while back, Texas removed that law from the books. If you intentionally kill someone, it’s Murder, period or as social media now says, full stop. To (in my opinion) appease people, the changed law said that intentionally killing someone is still Murder even if you were provoked into anger, however….. The law on the penalty for Murder is a First Degree Felony and 5-99 years. IF, after a jury convicts a person of intentionally killing someone, so Murder, but finds that it was under sudden passion, the jury can voluntarily reduce the penalty to a Second Degree Felony or 2-20 years in prison. Of course even for a regular Murder charge, a jury can give a person as little as 5 years. So why the option to reduce it in deliberations to a 20 year maximum as a mitigating factor when a jury can do that without a different law? I think it’s a feel good law although technically under sudden passion a person can receive a 2 year minimum as opposed to a 5 year minimum. I don’t see much of a chance of a jury convicting a person of Murder and then giving a 2 year sentence but sometimes juries are strange. So what does all of that have to do with this case? I can think of two tactics by the defense. I think it’s fairly certain that the kid accused did kill the other. That leaves either sudden passion as a lesser prison sentence or self-defense. Did the deceased initiate an act toward the accused that placed the accused in a reasonable belief that he was in danger of serious bodily injury or death? I haven’t looked at the case lately, but it seems like there was a claim that the now deceased student grab the other guy by the arm or shoved him. Does grabbing a person by the arm or shoving him place the other person in fear of death or serious bodily injury? If that is true then there can sure be a lot of lawful killing going on. Even if a person punches you in the nose, does that lead a reasonable person to believe that he is about to die or suffer a serious bodily injury? Imagine how many kids fought when we were in school. How many would justify deadly force in self defense? I can attempt to think that is how the defense is going to approach this, however. They’re going to say that there was an argument and one student shove the other, so the one that would’ve killed him in “self defense”. Although, in my opinion, it should not work, it will be setting the grounds for asking for a lesser sentence due to sudden passion and probation.

Your opinions are always welcomed.

This response confirms my statement - thank you

I sincerely hope that President Trump ceases misleading the American populace. It is regrettable that we have a President who is unwilling to be truthful or contrite when mistaken. The MAGA movement refuses to acknowledge right from wrong. This President has contributed to the deterioration of political integrity. Observing the current state of the United States and Trump's declining approval ratings clearly reflects these issues. Expecting only denial and deflection does not address the underlying problems.

That does not make sense. Looks like in 2028 you'll have JD Vance.....he served

Man some of yall put yalls hope in whatever it is that gives conald a victory here.. just own up and say it was a bad choice unless were going to demolish them.. which were not So guess what? We're negotiating with terrorists and potentially rebuilding them from the damage we've done.. but yeah so much winning.. Nobody wants trump to fail more than trump himself.... I truly believe to run this country a requirement sho be to have served this country at some point! Jmo

You’re much more knowledgeable on this type of thing, but I don’t see how you don’t get murder out of the deal…..

Clearly it should be a conviction but who knows with the politics of the day. I could see him being convicted of Manslaughter as a lesser included offense but it doesn’t really fit the crime although it would in other states. In some states sudden passion is considered Manslaughter or Voluntary Manslaughter (as it was when I started 42 years ago) but Texas has removed that law. There is part of the Murder law in Texas that allows a jury to consider sudden passion as a mitigating factor AFTER the person is convicted of Murder.
