«French actor Gérard Depardieu found guilty of sexual assault gets 18-month suspended sentence»
An argument can be made about mentally ill who pose a danger to themselves or others, and whether they should be confined for treatment against their will. I'm not advocating for or against that.
However, locking up accused people until trial just because they've been charged with something is a non-starter. They haven't been convicted of anything yet! All the government would have to do is charge you with a phony crime, and they can lock you away for years? No thanks.
If someone is out on conditions - bail, parole, whatever form of supervised release - and they violate those conditions, then you may have justification to confine them. It would depend on the circumstances.
But "lock up everyone ever charged before conviction" is autocratic dictator bullshit.

The #Liberals have a #candidate problem continued:
“The #Coalition’s (#LNP) election campaign is being dogged by a lengthening list of #CandidateIssues, the latest revelation that the contender (#JeffreyKidney) for the #Melbourne seat of #Wills pleaded #guilty to obtaining financial advantage by #deception and was ordered to pay #fines and #compensation worth more than $10,000.”
The poor quality of candidates is beginning to bite the Liberals.

#Dutton ducks question on #LNP vetting amid concerns over #charge against #Melbourne #candidate.
9’s newspapers reported that the candidate for the seat of #Wills, #JeffreyKidney, pleaded #guilty to obtaining financial advice by #deception in 2024 for a 2019 breach.
Kidney was ordered to pay fines & $10,640 in compensation to the Victorian WorkCover authority but no conviction was recorded against him.
#auspol just another typical LNP member.

Marine Le Pen and 24 of her fascist party members, including nine former members of the European parliament and their 12 parliamentary assistants, were found guilty of a vast scheme over many years to embezzle European parliament funds, by using money earmarked for European parliament assistants to instead pay party workers in France.
Judge Benedicte de Perthuis, reading the verdict of the panel of three justices, said Le Pen had been "at the heart" of the scheme. The judge said that while Le Pen and other co-defendants didn't enrich themselves personally, the embezzlement was "a democratic bypass" that deceived the parliament and voters.
The so-called fake jobs system covered parliamentary assistant contracts between 2004 and 2016, and was unprecedented in scale and duration, causing losses of €4.5m (£3.8m) to European taxpayer funds.
Meanwhile Le Pen, her gang and all right-wing dickheads across the world are crying like babies for ‘denial of democracy’. What a bunch of hypocrites!
Obran, Trump, Milei & their ilks have proven there is less democracy once these fascists have a seat.
#MarineLePen #banned from running for #PublicOffice after #guilty verdict in #embezzlement trial – Europe live

Boeing seeks to withdraw guilty plea deal in deadly crashes of 737 MAX jets
Did you know that "do you plead guilty to the charges?" was once an unlikely question to be answered?
Until the 18th century, common #law had a clause in which a person charged with a capital #offence would be subjected to torture if they did not plead either #guilty or not.
Many defendants refused to plead despite this prospect, because if they did, their heirs would not inherit their property!
#Torture by crushing was used to either elicit a plead or #death.
#guilty : having incurred guilt
- French: coupable
- German: schuldig
- Italian: colpevole
- Portuguese: culpado
- Spanish: culpable
