The 33 year old woman died. According to CNN her fully clothed, bruised body was found in the bathtub of the hotel.
Something is totally wrong with this picture. (Obviously.) First, why is he charged with attempted murder when the victim is, like, completely dead? He is charged under a law that is intended to increase the consequences of an assault that does not leave marks? I’m sorry, sounds Kafkaesque to me: there is no physical evidence of an assault, so therefore the charges are more serious? Why not just charge him with murder since the victim is, you know, dead.

You obviously lack the nuanced legal mind. If the law is written clearly in plain English, we would need an order of magnitude fewer lawyers. Can’t have that, can we?
Here’s how it works: Clever lawyers are hired to write ambiguously complicated laws in legalese. Other clever lawyers are then hired to wade through the legalese, exploit the ambiguities and/or find meaning in the laws that were never intended.
Oh, and then judges, former lawyers, are then tasked to referee the two lawyers. If that isn’t a recipe for disaster I don’t know what is.
You got me pardner.
In America the rotting stench of judges, lawyers, law firms, law schools, and the legal system itself is overpowering.
