Dude is right though, doing something does not automatically mean you're guilty.

[–] somerandomperson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 23 hours ago (5 children)

How?

Say, how is stealing from the bank mean you're not guilty?

(Or did you forget /s ?)

  1. You did it but the evidence was obtained illegally and is inadmissible in court
  2. You did it but the specific circumstances make it legal, for example you where threatened or forced to do it by someone else, or you killed someone but it was in self-defense
  3. You did it but you have a mental disorder and can't be responsible for your actions

** I am not a lawyer or have any legal training, but this is how I personally view the sign. Also, the example I give may be flawed, but I think it demonstrates the point well and can be applied to more accurate circumstances. **

Another example is that you committed a crime, but not the crime they are trying to charge you with.

For example,

You and a friend rob a store. You didn't know it going into it but your friend brought a gun.

You get arrested and you both get charged with armed robbery.

You are not guilty of armed robbery since only your friend had a gun. They would have to charge you with a crime that was accurate.

Hitting someone with a car is generally seen as a crime, but what if the pedestrian was crossing the highway?

There are many acts that are considered "crimes" that you might not be guilty of considering circumstances.

[–] Signtist@bookwyr.me 3 points 18 hours ago

Guilty in the legal sense means you've been found to be guilty in the court of law. Until you've been tried, you're not guilty. Otherwise anyone could just say "that guy committed a crime" and it'd be their word against yours.

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 2 points 22 hours ago

Guilt means that someone did something that's morally wrong. Everyone who isn't a fucking Nazi would agree that punching fascists is morally laudable, yet it's a crime you can get convicted for.

You'd then have done it without being guilty of anything.

  • Found my new Lawyer.

  • I think I found my new lawyer.

  • I believe I have located and selected a lawyer who seems suitable for my needs.

  • After a thorough search and consideration of several candidates, I am inclined to believe I have found a lawyer who appears well-suited to represent me.

  • Following an extensive evaluation process involving multiple consultations and reviews of qualifications, I am of the opinion that I have identified a legal professional who possesses the necessary expertise and experience to effectively address my concerns.

  • As a result of a diligent and painstaking process involving careful assessment of numerous potential legal representatives, including thorough background checks, detailed interviews, and a comprehensive review of their professional track records and client testimonials, I have reached the preliminary conclusion that I may have successfully identified a legal counsel whose skill set, experience, and commitment to client advocacy appear exceptionally aligned with the specific complexities of my situation.

  • Subsequent to an exhaustive and meticulously executed undertaking, wherein I undertook a rigorous comparative analysis of a multiplicity of prospective legal advisors, encompassing in-depth due diligence regarding their respective professional credentials, a series of comprehensive consultations designed to ascertain their suitability for my particular legal circumstances, and a thorough perusal of peer reviews and client feedback, I am presently inclined to posit the hypothesis that I have, in fact, identified an individual possessing the requisite acumen, dedication, and jurisprudential understanding to serve as my legal representative moving forward, thereby instilling in me a burgeoning sense of confidence in the forthcoming proceedings.

  • Subsequent to the commencement and diligent prosecution of a protracted and extraordinarily meticulous investigative undertaking, characterized by an exhaustive exploration of the legal marketplace and the comprehensive vetting of a multitude of potential legal advisors—a process which incorporated rigorous background investigations, exhaustive consultations designed to ascertain the alignment between their specialized expertise and the nuanced particulars of my unique legal circumstance, a scrupulous examination of published legal scholarship, peer-reviewed assessments, and a wide array of client testimonials—I am now tentatively inclined to posit the hypothesis that I have, after considerable deliberation and due diligence, successfully identified an individual possessing the requisite combination of legal acumen, unwavering ethical rectitude, and demonstrable experience in navigating the often-labyrinthine complexities of the legal system, thereby inspiring within me a burgeoning sense of confidence that their judicious counsel and diligent representation will prove instrumental in achieving a favorable resolution to the ongoing legal matter and ensuring the vigorous protection of my fundamental rights and interests within the framework of the established legal order.

  • In the wake of a protracted and exceptionally meticulous undertaking, initiated with the express purpose of identifying a legal professional capable of providing astute and comprehensive representation in a matter of considerable personal significance, I have diligently pursued a multifaceted investigative strategy encompassing a thorough exploration of the legal profession, a systematic evaluation of numerous potential candidates, and an exhaustive scrutiny of their respective qualifications, professional backgrounds, and demonstrated capabilities. This rigorous vetting process involved not only an in-depth analysis of their academic credentials and bar admissions but also a comprehensive review of their professional experience, including a meticulous examination of their case outcomes, client testimonials, and published legal commentary, as well as numerous consultations designed to ascertain the congruence between their legal philosophy, approach to client advocacy, and the specific nuances and complexities inherent in the unique circumstances of my current legal predicament. Furthermore, I have meticulously researched relevant legal precedents, examined judicial rulings, and considered the potential legal ramifications of various courses of action, all in an effort to ensure that the individual ultimately selected possesses the requisite knowledge, skill, and experience to effectively navigate the often-intricate and adversarial legal landscape. Consequently, and following a period of careful deliberation and thoughtful consideration, I am now cautiously optimistic – albeit tempered by a healthy dose of legal pragmatism – that I have, through a process characterized by exhaustive due diligence and unwavering commitment to securing the highest caliber of legal representation, successfully identified an individual whose expertise, integrity, and dedication to client advocacy appear exceptionally well-suited to champion my interests and vigorously pursue a just and equitable outcome within the framework of the established legal system, thereby instilling in me a renewed sense of confidence and anticipation regarding the forthcoming proceedings.

I don’t get it. If only there was a yellow circle around the only funny part of the image then I would understand

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 day ago

My problem with yellow circles is that they aren't red
