I'm slightly surprised the offender didn't get a whole life order in this case (3 #murders using an illegally obtained #firearm) even though he was young, but he will remain in #prison for longer than I am likely to be alive!
I still think there's an anomaly with #sentencing for #murder in #England / #Wales - those who target people known to them seem to get get shorter #sentences than those who attack strangers

#SCOTUS’ ruling has the potential to affect the #convictions & #sentences of a small set of #insurrectionists — around 27 — who are serving time in #prison for only this #felony. It also could impact about 110 more who are awaiting #trial or sentencing, acc/to prosecutors. In addition, the ruling could affect #Trump’s stalled trial for illegally trying to remain in power after his 2020 defeat; 2 of the 4 charges he faces are based on the #obstruction statute, & he could move for dismissal.
#Nebraska #lawmakers #pass a #bill to #restore #votingrights to newly released #felons upon the #completion of their #sentences, including #prison and #parole time.
The #passage of the #bill “means everything for the thousands of people who have not been able to be full #participants in #society,”

#SCOTUS sided w/the govt on Fri, narrowly interpreting a provision of a landmark #criminal #justice #law in a decision likely to limit the number of federal #prisoners who are eligible for reduced #sentences for nonviolent drug crimes.
The majority opinion, written by #ElenaKagan, concluded that a criminal defendant must meet a series of criminal history conditions to qualify for relief.
For this one I wrote about Nightbitch (by Rachel Yoder) and sensibility. But I also let myself geek about this long and luxurious sentence that piles up imagery for days.
Come across any lovely sentences lately? (Definitely count the ones you write yourself!)

The image contains the text of the letter referenced in the previous toot. I am not going to dignify it by adding a description to it, sorry vision impaired people.
I wonder if they are arresting anti monarchy protesters to make arresting protesters a joke. Those are the cinematic protestors, allowed into movies, as texture.
Of Course they #arrest climate protestors too, and tell them they may not tell the jury #why they were in the street.
And increase protestors #sentences if they mention #climate in their defence.
This is exactly why I have struggled to adapt my hashtagging practices to really work on Mastodon. “On top of all that, in-post hashtags feel thirsty. After a decade of Twitter and Instagram, I associate them firmly with spammers and #blessed clout-chasing thinkfluencers, #shoehorning that #pound #symbol into the #middle of #sentences to reach more #eyeballs.” https://www.theverge.com/23673125/mastodon-separate-tags-hashtag-navigation-accessibility
My revision class is working on sentences. So many ways to think about writing sentences!
Like how they can mimic the actions that are happening--like making them quick & explosive or long & meandering according to the action. Not every sentence--that can get tedious--but some. Or else I think about how the construction can mimic the way the narrator thinks.
How do you think about sentences?
With the pocket #calculator we stopped counting, with the#GPS we have lost our sense of #orientation, with #ChatGpt we could lose other #skills, until we no longer know how to form #sentences and #thoughts that make #sense, so much so that #AI takes care of it .. . Avoid #competition with AI
