Mary Lindsey, who appeared in the court livestream as the reported victim, said the assault stemmed from a brief argument at a residence in Sturgis. According to Lindsey, she and Harris had been dating at the time.
Harris was represented at the court examination by attorney Paul Gipson.
About seven minutes into the proceeding, Deborah Davis, assistant to the prosecuting attorney and representing Lindsey, said she believed Lindsey and Harris were in close proximity during the livestream, based on Lindsey’s answers and body language.
Middleton then asked Harris to divulge the address where he was. Harris gave a house number on East Lafayette Street.
Middleton told Harris to go outside with his cell-phone and take a photograph of the house number. Harris declined, saying he was limited by low phone battery and that his device was connected to a charger.
A few moments later, Davis said the police were at the door of Lindsey’s confirmed location to check on her. Lindsey was instructed to go to the door to speak to police.
“We may need to adjourn this, your Honor,” Davis said to Middleton.
Lindsey's connection to the court proceeding went offline after it showed her speaking to police outside the home. Moments later, Lindsey’s livestream came back online, showing Harris inside on Lindsey's phone and in the custody of police. Davis briefly “face-palmed” upon the reveal that Harris was at the same location as Lindsey.
“Your Honor, me and Mary both don’t want the no-contact,” Harris said. “I ask that be dropped. I’m sorry I lied to you. I knew the cops were outside. I don't know why I...”
Middleton interrupted Harris.
“Mr. Harris, my advice is, don’t say anything else,” Middleton said to Harris. “The hearing is adjourned. Your bond is canceled. If you have $10 million, you can’t bond out. In addition, the prosecutor’s probably also going to charge you with obstruction of justice.”
Great job by the prosecutor there to recognize what was going on
Now mind you, there were good intentions here, as the very next tweet made it clear they were publicizing a new initiative to help female employees progress in culinary careers:
If they want to, of course. Yet only 20% of chefs are women. We're on a mission to change the gender ratio in the restaurant industry by empowering female employees with the opportunity to pursue a culinary career.
But that said, posting that first tweet - on International Women's Day, of all days - is pretty "yikes".
BK has now deleted the tweets for some reason. Also deleted is the followup
Why would we delete a tweet that’s drawing attention to a huge lack of female representation in our industry, we thought you’d be on board with this as well? We've launched a scholarship to help give more of our female employees the chance to pursue a culinary career.

Damn, Judge, I know it's a pandemic and haircuts are few and far between, but that's too sexy for the courtroom. Dude looks like he's gonna go surfing as soon as he ditches the robe.

He's in South Dakota so that's probably not an option. Maybe he'll tuck it under a cowboy hat and go roping or something
Though Momo lives by herself (or did, before the arrival of her mystery baby), her enclosure is part of a structure with three others connected to it. Two of the enclosures contain one male lar gibbon each, and one of them contains three. There are metal grates in place between the enclosures to keep the animals out of physical contact with one another, but an inspection following the birth revealed a small hole, roughly three centimeters (1.2 inches) in length had been torn in one of the grates, as shown at the point the video below is queued to, and the zookeepers suspect that it was through this opening that Momo “encountered” the baby’s father.
Turns out that one sneaky ape made a hole...to glory.
For anyone who hasn't had the fortune (good or bad) of being in court for relatively basic stuff, this is 100% what it's like though. TV makes it look WAY cooler.

I was on a jury once and it was only half a day and it was still tedious as fuck
The moat interesting part was the defendant putting himself on the stand and admitting he did the thing but then spending 15 minutes giving excuses for why he did the thing.
Took us 5 minutes to convict and that’s only because that’s how long it took to read the charges aloud and write down the votes

Well, when they confess on the stand, all that's left is to go through the motions.
Do you remember what the look on the defense attorney's fase was when he did?

No, it was a trial. Dude drove without a license for two years (because he was an asshole who couldn’t manage to deal civilly with the clerks responsible for fixing his suspended license) and then when he got caught he insisted on a trial by jury because he thought we’d sympathize with him.
We had jury selection, trial, and deliberation/verdict reading all in the same day. It was a complete waste of everyone’s time.
Edit: I do not recall the look on his attorney’s face, but I got the impression the attorney knew he had a loser and was just doing what he was paid to do. He knew what the guy would say on the stand, that was his whole defense.

The problem of 'you do what your client wants you to do, and if the client wants to testify.' Although in this case the fee was probably the same win or lose.
The federal law counts digitally created or manipulated images provided they're mostly indistinguishable (so an MS Paint job won't count but a deepfake should). Every state has its own laws that may be more or less severe (Michigan has had a conviction for somebody drawing a dick on a fully clothed picture of a 16 hear old girl with a sharpie), and the sex offender registry is state, so they'll probably prosecute it that way.

That sharpie thing is a little concerning but yeah I think if the result looks like a real child/teen then should be considered as such. Of course then you get into animations/manga which is whole other thing.
And in Jragghen's thing, she must have searched for the original images to add the girls' faces to.
A walrus spotted on an Irish beach yesterday (March 14) may have floated there from the Arctic Circle after falling asleep on an iceberg.
A 5-year-old girl walking with her father spotted the blubbery newcomer.
The young girl, named Muireann, pointed out the walrus to her dad, Alan Houlihan, as they walked on Valentia Island in County Kerry. "I thought it was a seal at first, and then we saw the tusks," Houlihan said, according to IrishCentral. "He kind of jumped up on the rocks. He was massive. He was about the size of a bull or a cow, pretty similar in size; he's big, big."

My brain is having trouble getting past the "Rare but not unusual sight by all accounts" because wait what?
I guess they meant rare but not unprecedented. Like something that happens on average once every 100 years can be both rare in terms of a single human's likely experience, but not unusual for the span of recorded human knowledge where it has happened multiple times in the past and is expected to keep happening.

Rare but not unusual large boulder the size of a small boulder...
Last one in Ireland looks like 15 years ago. There was one in Scotland in 2018 and one elsewhere in the UK in 2016, so it's a bit more regular if you broaden the scope to the whole islands. So, yeah, rare but not unusual seems a fair phrasing.
Not surprisingly it's a relatively recent phenomenon. Ireland's had three arctic seals and two walruses since 2000, Scotland's had about the same and England's had a couple seals. But that's more than in the whole of the 20th century. At least two confirmed polar bears have turned up in the islands, but before 2017 there was only a poorly preserved corpse beleived to be thousands of years old that appears to have come ashore, dragged itself into a cave and promptly died.

Still, that’s pretty impressive for a corpse to have done all that

I'm sure they had a smarter way to stage that scene but I think about how I'd do it and the idea of an Austin Powers crew member having to move that cart sideways down 200'+ of hallway using something like a pallet jack that only nominally moves in a straight line, just constantly hitting a wall in either side, occasionally knocking the cart sideways so it gets wedged on the walls and they have to call someone over to help them reset it on the jack, a producer getting upset because they only blocked out an hour for the shot and they've already burned 45 getting the cart in place

I always assumed the entrance was where the camera is, so they'd only have to move the cart a couple of meters.

Yeah, you can see a little concrete/steel pole in the foreground, which would normally be there to block carts so only pedestrians can go that way. A cart that size, they could've got like 8 people to just lift it straight up and over.
You guys are way overcomplicating it. You can buy something called a wheel dolly specifically for rolling a vehicle sideways into a space it can't drive into.

Is that... the same judge and lawyer from another recent "don't do this in court" thing? That seems weird...
