    So, why are the public authorities involved in private evictions at all?

    BTW:

    The court heard that Woods was told during the encounter that some deputies were allergic to bees, and that she replied: “Oh, you’re allergic? Good!”

    🤣🤣🤣

    She got 6 months but will only do 2 more weeks because she was held without bail.

    America is the toilet of jurisprudence.

      The incident happened in 2022 and it’s only now that she got convicted? Is that what America calls “the right to a speedy trial”?

        You have the right to a speedy trial, but most people do not invoke it because you want your lawyer to build a defense. You can waive a lot of stuff, including the right to a trial by jury itself, and just go right in front of a judge if you want, but he’s almost certainly going to find you guilty.
