So was he eventually found guilty on any/all of them?

but were hung on the .08 charge

But...wasn't he breathalyzed/blood tested/whatever? Or how else did they come up with the charge? Cause I'd think that'd be the EASIEST one to convict on!

I'm arguing food politics with someone who absolutely refuses to acknowledge the existence of food deserts.

He assumes there's a Kroger every 5 blocks or something? How does that work? Does the federal government arrange a grocery zoning grid or something?

I should add that we found him guilty on all three counts.

The reason we were hung on the .08 was that the roadside breathalizer wasn't done until about 2 hours after the accident and the station intoxalizer wasn't done until an hour after that. We had no evidence as to what he had eaten or drunk at any point.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I want to be a Lector! I am awesome at reading aloud! How come no one will pay me to do that?

There's always audiobooks.

Voicework in general...

eta: Great news, Liese!

He can always buy whatever fresh produce he wants, and he's not rich, therefore everybody has access to produce, and anyone who doesn't buy it is just lazy.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

To do voicework, I'd have to work a little harder at losing my accent. Trying to talk without a drawl makes my lips go numb.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good news, Liese!

I don't have a good enough voice for that kind of work, but I sure could read to factory workers! Bonus point: I can read.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I had an agent give me a card about voicework once, but that was before I lived in LA.

Plus, it's acting, and I know too many actors to even pretend to do that.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I heard back from the folks at Nubar. They were all, "oh! nebbermind, give us a call! We'll sell you polish, make your nails pretty." So that's nice!

Also? Grading is currently being enhanced by a sip of red wine. All good.

Well, shoot. I can stream video anytime I want, and Gaia knows I'm not rich, so clearly everyone has access to unlimited internet. Those people who claim to lack electricity, connectivity, or computers are just too lazy to click on a wireless network.
