Excellent ruling! I have been wanting to learn Spanish and now I can just hold off until I rob a bank and get convicted!

Was that the only ramification for their misdeeds? If learning English was the only ramification of violation of parole, the judge is a dumbass. Secondly, what an absurd demand! Though this country is majority English speaking, the United States government has not declared an official language. This stems from the “Melting Pot” days, when new immigrants had not adopted English as a first language. Though English is now the dominant language in America, and while it thus important to learn and use the language, and while I cannot understand anyone not doing so, I don’t think it is within the bounds of the judicial system to force someone to learn English.

So if an American gets caught trying to commit a crime, can we learn Spanish and get off scott free also? If they cant speak any english they probably have to rob to get any cash since no one will hire them. So now they are now back on the street to contemplate their next crime… it would be funny if they robbed the judges house and then he will think twice about his stupid decision.

Women can be hypnotized?

I’ve heard that shopping with a fresh credit card is enough to get their spirits up ; )

Seriously, isn’t there a way to prove that she’s actually been hypnotized?

Some people in Mexico need to think “outside the paranoia box”, once in a while.

For instance, the 3 men could’ve also placed a spell on Lucas Dominguez, therefore multiplying the power x3 and overthrowing his Evil Eye — okay, I’ll go easy on the jokes for this one.

Of course, overall, the whole story is weird…

This kind of situation should automatically be reviewed by another judge because the judge’s emotions might’ve played a significant role in expanding the prison sentence.

Then again, Joshua Beadle appears to fit the profile of “the guy who had it coming” so perhaps that was the only way to talk some sense into him.

It’s hard to say, we weren’t there…
