On the other, she did commit a crime and thereby forfeited a good chunk of rights.
Oooh, not to jump on you, but the whole point of our legal system is that you don't forfeit your rights just because you commit a crime. You'll lose rights after you're convicted of a crime, but not until then.

Wolfram, sorry that I missed the res judicata discussion. i kept reading and thinking, well . .. and then someone would say it! and it would have been vaguely work related. feh.
as for the crazy criminal question, some courts have found that the state may medicate a defendant for the purposes of determining whether they want to be medicated on a permanent basis.

I think that the word(s) you're looking for is not "commit" but "accused of"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Like I noted above, yes you do get some things taken away if indicted. E.g., being jailed, or having assets frozen.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Popping in to wish much, much health and recovery-ma to Jeff, and to very firmly instruct his kidney and the rest of his body that they must stop quarreling at once. They're all on the same team and there is to be absolutely no infighting.
Also, healthma to the pneumonic but still lovely Rio, and big birthday kisses to Annabel.
Also, joining the "knows-nothing-about-law-but-is-fascinated-by-the-res-whatsit-discussion" corner, which is nicely crowded with all sortsa cool people, and also is rumored to have cookies.
