    I adore Byrd. Seriously, the man's a comic genius. With just one well placed "Mmhmm" he can have the entire jury in stitches.

    In other TV news, has anyone else been plagued by those Idaho Potatoes commercials? I seldom watch daytime TV but I was sick so today was an exception. Anyway, there are these crazy commercials stressing the health benefits of Idaho potatoes ("not just any potatoes!") with this really raspy-voiced lady who pronounces Idaho like "eye-ho" and it drove me nuts (it could also be my cold). She also claims that "exercise and a diet with potatoes" help you to stay trim, which is true in some contexts but it nonetheless made me laugh because I can totally see somebody going to a grocery store, looking at potatoes, and remembering, "oh yeah, potatoes help you lose weight!" #tyrafaketoenails

    I worked at a tanning salon in high school (ooooh the stories) and knew a couple girls that came in who had acrylics on their toenails, but never as long and gaudy as that. I'm not sure the reasoning behind it, as I was always too weirded out to ask. #tyrafaketoenails

    This is pretty embarrassing, but I have had an acrylic tip on my toe. My cleats were too tight when I played lacrosse, and after a long game, I lost my big toe-nail. I was super self conscious about it, so I went to the nail salon and those nice ladies fixed me up with a new talon. I'm glad I'm not alone. Thanks Ty-Ty. #tyrafaketoenails

    I'm really starting to think that JJ doesn't like other women in any capacity.
    She told a woman today who claimed that her ex-boyfriend threatened her life if she told the police the drugs she held were his that "if that was true, you wouldn't be here today."
    Which, I don't know, may or may not be true, but JJ's casual dismissal of what the woman was claiming bothered me intensely. #judgejudysexualmisconduct

    It's alarming that JJ, as well as so many people on here, seem to be saying that she gave up the right to be taken seriously in the sexual abuse case when she made bad decisions in unrelated areas of her life. I feel like by not taking her seriously, she is being punished for decisions she's already been punished for and not getting justice when she may very well have been a victim. As for the inconsistencies, it often happens with abuse victims that the memories blur together into one event instead of separate days. The remark that she knew him from a previous foster situation should give her claims MORE credence, not less, since he would likely be more comfortable joking around inappropriately with someone he already knew outside of work. Honestly, I feel like JJ really dropped the ball on this one, letting her feelings about the morality of the rest of this woman's life dictate her feelings about the alleged sexual assault. And the "bitchface" everyone is talking about looks like she's simply trying not to cry. If she indeed was a victim of sexual abuse, which i believe she is, she might have been fighting back a PTSD flashback. Come on, people. With the number of sexual assault victims on this forum, I am shocked with the amount of victim-shaming and moral judgy-ness around here.

    @Beets.Go.On is the Fat Yogini: If she isn't a victim, it's liar-shaming, not victim-shaming. Not everyone tells the truth about these things, and the attitude that every single charge of abuse should be taken seriously (or automatically believed) is exactly the kind of attitude that can make it easy for a manipulative, malevolent person to destroy other people's lives. Claiming that since some people tell the truth about abuse, we should believe everybody claiming abuse is just as irrational as claiming that since some people lie about it, we should believe nobody.

    Furthermore, a court is not supposed to use "feelings" to come to judgment about cases. Nor does the court system exist to take care of people's feelings, or improve those feelings. Cases are supposed to be decided according to evidence, statute, and legal precedent. People with problems with their feelings go to therapists. #judgejudysexualmisconduct

    @Gavagirl: um, come back to me when you've actually read my comment. Nothing you responded to there were things I actually said.

    I do agree with your point about how the court's shouldn't use their feelings. The only time I mentioned anyone's "feelings" was in reference to JJ letting her feelings about other choices this woman has made dictate her judgment here instead of looking at the facts and precedent and how that was a problem. So since, I agree with you, i really don't get what you're trying to argue with me about. #judgejudysexualmisconduct

    @Beets.Go.On is the Fat Yogini: My argument is the assumption that she must be a victim. She would have to be for anyone to be "victim-shaming", right? She apparently already failed to prove she is a victim, legally speaking, since after she had him arrested but he was acquitted, so why should JJ treat her as a victim now? The facts don't bear that out, and she isn't the plaintiff here anyway. Her claim against him has already been dealt with.

    Now, I don't know that she necessarily should have found in HIS favor, since if he's the plaintiff it's his job to prove she made all this up. That is a tough thing to do, and I don't think he met that burden of proof. He'd need something like an email or MySpace post where she stated she made it up to really support his case.

    I think a dismissal would have been a better outcome. I definitely agree with you that JJ's interpretation of her past and her behavior in court seem to have inappropriately influenced her $2500 judgment, but that's because his case was weak, not because that judgment is traumatizing to the defendant. #judgejudysexualmisconduct

    "the burden of proof for the plaintiff was much heavier than "beyond a reasonable doubt."

    Nope. The burden of proof is less in civil court and merely requires the plaintiff to prove her/his case by the "preponderance of evidence." Meaning, crudely, that it's 51% likely the plaintiff is correct.

    This is why O.J. lost his civil court case, the burden of proof was a lot less than in a criminal case wherein the jury has to determine "beyond a reasonable doubt." #judgejudysexualmisconduct

    @JinxyMcDeath: Tracie has it right, but its worded in a confusing way. You are correct that the burden on the plaintiff in a civil case is lower than the burden on the state in a criminal case, but here the plaintiff in the civil case was the *defendant* in the criminal case. The important point here is the burden on the store owner in each case.

    In the criminal case, all this gentleman had to do was introduce reasonable doubt into the mind of the judge/jury. That's a very low bar for the defendant (which corresponds to the high bar for the state).

    In this civil case, the store owner is now the plaintiff, and has to meet a preponderance of the evidence. That bar is, as you say, only 51%, but it's higher than the bar he had to meet when he was a defendant in criminal court. #judgejudysexualmisconduct
