For those of us interested in the conduct of trials (and the rule of law), as @davidallengreen explores in his latest blog, the Lucy Letby case raises some Qs about the use (and non-use) of expert witnesses.

DAG explores at some length why & when a defence may choose not to call expert witnesses & in doing so reveals much about legal tactics in the face of such testimony.

Its quite a long read, but worth it for the insight into legal process it provides.

One of the j aspects of the justice system is that it is used to find out what can be proved, which does not always cover what actually happened.

See also the climate case where the judge disallowed the wider context to be used in mitigation.

Mehr Unfälle mit E-Scootern - vor allem in Großstädten

Sie sind schnell, wendig und vor allem in Städten beliebt. Doch E-Scooter sind auch umstritten und immer häufiger in Unfälle verwickelt. Besonders oft verunglücken jüngere Fahrer - und die Zahl der Toten hat sich verdoppelt.

Former President Barack Obama and wife Michelle Obama endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president Friday, just days after she launched her campaign after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race.

The Obama's withheld their support announcement until President Biden gave his Oval Office address.

Was die Tagesschau schreibt:
"Der Kanzler hält Erwerbsmigration für nötig und erwünscht. Doch irreguläre Migration will er bekämpfen - und setzt dazu weiter auf Grenzkontrollen."

In normales Deutsch übersetzt:
"Der Kanzler hält Ausländer, die sich in Billigjobs ausbeuten lassen, in Deutschland für nötig und erwünscht. Doch den Menschen, die vor Krieg, Hunger, Klima und Perspektivlosigkeit flüchten müssen, will er das Menschenrecht auf Flucht verwehren und setzt dazu auf Polizei an der Grenze."

@populistensohn Das halte ich für zu kurz gedacht. Die Artikel schreiben individuelle Journalist*innen und nicht die Kontakte der Programchef*innen, Rundfunkräte oder Shareholder.

@populistensohn Was @mina schreibt, klingt realistischer: Verlautbarungsjournalismus, also unhinterfragt und kritiklos die Aussagen der (flüchtlingsfeindlich orientierten) Politik nacherzählen, klingt für mich nach dem wahrscheinlichsten Problem. Aber genau weiß ich es auch nicht.

Mina 4 months ago • mastodon (AP)

Es ist klar, dass in vielen privaten Medien eine klare Linie durchgegeben wird.

In den Öffentlich-Rechtlichen wie der @tagesschau gibt es allerdings, denke ich, eine Kultur der Pseudo-Objektivität, welche die Redaktionen dazu bringt, eben nicht ihrem journalistischen Auftrag nachzukommen, Menschen tatsächlich zu informieren, sondern schlicht zu reproduzieren, was die Politik vorgibt.

Für mich ist das Mangel an Berufsethos.

I remember once standing in the Dead Sea. I think I was about fourteen years old. It was so warm and it made my skin very soft! Some people were bathing in it. I hadn't brought a swimsuit on this trip, which is why I was wading. They looked like they were floating on top of the water rather than in the water, because of all the salt and minerals buoying them up!

We’ve been told that money represents wealth, with power as a sort of side-benefit of having it. We’ve been told that wealth is comprised of the real things that money represents. Money is a stand-in for these objects that are worth something for their usefulness or desirability. The barter analogy is often used to make this connection.

But that’s not true. In our system, money is a direct representation of power, w the tangible items it brings as a side benefit. Each $ is a unit of power, & the more you have, the more power you have.

There are other forms of power in competition with, or exchangeable for, money. Labor is one of these—also things like status, fame, authority, force, & manipulation.

Examples: When someone has enough money to hire you, they have the power to control a large portion of your time. That’s power, not wealth. When you have enough money to exchange for food, that’s the power to eat, not the wealth of ownership of food.

This guise that money is wealth is obscuring more effective ways of thinking and talking about power. Money is a shiny bauble tossed across the room for us to squabble over. A distraction. The levers of power are pulled with or without money. Money is an invention. It can be infinite. It’s a plastic Monopoly piece as a stand in for “I can obtain what I want; I can make you do what I want.”

Whenever you think of money, replace it with “unit of power.” Unit of control one person has over reality or another person. Even the money in your own bank account. Even credit. From the spare change up to the billions. Watch the world shift on its axis.
