While the theory has some legitimacy, at times juries have been overly impressed by psychiatric testimony. The most notorious case was in People v. Dan White, the admitted killer of San Francisco Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk, who got only a manslaughter conviction on the basis that his capacity was diminished by the sugar content of his blood due to eating "twinkies."
Diminished capacity. Essentially a psychological term. Means that although the accused was not insane, due to emotional distress, physical condition or other factors he/she could not fully comprehend the nature of the criminal act he/she is accused of committing, particularly murder or attempted murder. It is raised by the defense in attempts to remove the element of premeditation or criminal intent and thus obtain a conviction for a lesser crime, such as manslaughter instead of murder.
I love all the scenes where everyone is portrayed equally boring and predictable, then Elle stands out among the crowd because she is so different and unique. That alone tells you what the movie is about.
Oh my gosh, Elle is my role model. This is the first movie that I've seen where the fashionista actually has brains and determination...makes me feel good :) friggin love her
my teacher did say that when he went to harvard people were very stuck up. he transfered out. so i feel bad for elle! never underestimate someone, they might surprise you.
its really funny how dumb he is. I fully understand what elle was saying. She was saying. Since you guys were married. You have an equal share of what is yours. You got the trailer, she gets the dog. That simple.
ummm ok i don't mean to be blonde...i'm a redhead....but is it supposed to be this choppy? it seems to me that the scenes don't exactly go together....
what i love about this movie is that some nerdy girls could be bitchy and not all blonde girls with big boobs are dumb. this movie is awesome! GO ELLE WOODS!
in the musical, the scene with the trailor, Emmett went with them. So far, I'm thinking broadway was better at this movie, but still. I hadn't seen it yet and really wanted to, so thank you SO MUCH!! ^_^
@phillyfanatic25 believe me when i say this. most ppl who keep insisting they're straight, arent actually straight and its actually proven. featured on youtube too. Im 100% gay and im into football and am a hardcore transformers fan. Im on this page coz my bf like this movie so damn much. Im more straight than you are, but hey, ur just as cool man. embrace it. cheers!
