Dan Brown's "Origin" and Katherine Neville's "The Eight"

Vintage.

I really hope this is the last one. Watching players walk out by the day is extremely demotivating even for the rest of us who wish to stay and see the server launch.

I can barely even hit the ball. I like the mode with the spikes and tornadoes cuz I can only score with those power ups 😭

Good luck boss.

I am getting SAMP vibes.

That's some really good stuff man.

Using the $5.000 I had left to buy a ticket and win a car at some casino. Then, winning another car the following day.

Nice one.

Hot! 🔥

Nice!

It sounds like a cool idea, but it could lead to jurisdictional conflicts. Moreover, I don't think the volume of work and investigative need will ever grow to the point that prosecutors cannot collect the necessary evidence either themselves (witness depositions) or with the help of peace officers (contraband, video footage, etc.). It would be more effective and efficient to use liaisons than to turn the DA's office into an investigative faction which is not what intend to do. In any case, we should prioritize the server's needs and creating another LEO faction is not one of them. If the justice system is flooded with players, we could still try a different approach and ask our liaisons to help with certain cases similar to the "DA squads" police departments use by forming teams of officers to help prosecuting agencies that operate in a small geographical area.

They wouldn't sit and wait longer because regardless of the plea one enters, the sentence remains the same and must be served. Hence, we decided to avoid a plea of not guilty which would require the defendant to stay in jail indefinitely pending the trial commencement.

We have already created internal policies for bail recommendations, pretrial release and diversion programs, but this decision can be made by JSA leadership. It is an idea I fully support, but I don't think it would make a noticeable difference. As it stands murder is the criminal offense with the most severe penalty (8 hours). It would take that much time, if not more, to receive your case, review it, file charges, recommend your pretrial release, and wait for a judge to process all that. However, I will revisit this topic and discuss this matter further with JSA leadership.

Like I explained, the DA will only be involved if you enter a plea of no contest and choose to contest your charges after Law Enforcement officials effect the arrest. It is currently impossible to review every arrest, nor is it something server administration wants. The DA will only review your charges if you decide to contest them and if those are found to be unwarranted, they will be dropped. The prosecutor assigned to your case will dissect the statutory elements of each charge and "get creative with case law". I don't consider the DA to be a buffer between law enforcement and the players because I don't think those parties stand on opposing sides. However, we do intend to implement conviction integrity programs and help those who have been wrongfully convicted to file the appropriate writs in order to remedy those false charges. In summary, we intend to do all of the above, but only if the defendant enters a plea of no contest or if the convicted person seeks remedy and makes solid claims of actual innocence.
