Um, but he don't say that.
0corr
He say, I loved your hum- humor, uh, and I love you, but, I am not a political appointee.
0corr
And his eyes is just snapping.
0corr
And I says, Oh? How did you get on the board?
0corr
Well he say, I got a letter from the governor, asking.
0corr
And then I goes to Rotus, who's a seasoned politician, if there ever was one.
0corr
And I says, well, I – alright.
0corr
I says, I'll apologize next time, and I'm gon na make hay out of it, don't you worry.
0corr
I wants na know how you birds got on that board, if you're not political appointees.
0corr
I doesn't have any this year, but I've grown it other years.
0corr
There be no proble-.
0corr
A little bit of frost, it are gone.
0corr
I l- I learns that one time the –
0corr
I learns it just went down.
0corr
Well, I thinks it was Barbara that has some seeds.
0corr
It come right up.
0corr
You give him some kind of herb.
0corr
does I give him some?
0corr
I gives him a red pepper.
0corr
I think you – I thinks you gave him some herb of some kind.
0corr
I doesn't have any this year, I forgot to plant it.
0corr
I haves oregano.
0corr
I haves a lot of dried or- oregano.
0corr
You smoke it down into the cork, didn't you?
0corr
You smoke it down into the cork.
0corr
No, it choke me to death.
0corr
But Petitioner do not plead guilty and was not convicted.
0corr
Instead, he raise an insanity defense, claiming that because he was mentally ill at the time he tried to steal the coat he should not be blamed for his act.
0corr
The Government do not contest this claim and the trial court found, after a stipulated trial, that the Petitioner was not guilty by reason of insanity.
0corr
P- Petitioner still remain confined in the hospital on the basis of that commitment, even though more than seven years have now passed since his initial incarceration and more than six years have passed since the time he would have necessarily been released had he been convicted rather than acquitted.
0corr
Petitioner contend that whatever the validity of his kinitial commitment to the hospital, once he had been confined there for longer than he could have been incarcerated upon conviction, his commitment became an indefinite one.
0corr
Mr. Wasserstrom, you are not challenging, as I understand it, the -- the initial commitment.
0corr
Our position is, Your Honor, that he have to be released at that time unless the Government can at that time prove his commitability by the standards required.
0corr
Um, there bes arguable justifications for that initial commitment, and we don't discuss one way or another whether those justifications are sufficient to validate that initial commitment and we don't think the Court need reach that question.
0corr
Well, we thinks the only justifications that could, the only justifications that could, um, that could countenance that initial commitment are punitive in nature, that is, are a kind of punitive rationale.
0corr
Well, Your Honor, I doesn't think that it's terribly important whether the word "punitive" is used, but I do think that any kinds of justifications which would justify the initial commitment are what I would call backward looking justifications, that is, justifications that do turn on the fact that he, it -- was found ...
0corr
But haven't this Court, as well as the United States Court of Appeals in the D.C. Circuit, said there's no rational connection between the possible sentence and the possible length of stay after an acquittal, not guilty by reason of insanity?
0corr
I believes that the law in the United States Court of Appeals in Brown against the United States and in Wade v. Jacobs, in both of those cases the Court suggested that there is a relationship between the sentence that might have been imposed and the length that the commitment can persist without the Government proving,...
0corr
I doesn't think that this Court has, has uh, has addressed that question, and I then think this is the first case that raises it.
0corr
Oh, the Court have said expressly that there's no connection, in one case some time ago.
0corr
do your position depend at all on whether or not the initial crime was a crime of violence?
0corr
In proposition of law number three, we haves an ultimate finding of fact which was resolved in favor of Darnell Hurt.
0corr
Darnell Hurt have asked for the provocation mitiger- mitigator to apply to all offenses which he was charged, which includes the felonious assault, and indirectly then he also requested it, um, for the felony murder charge as well.
0corr
We believes that on retrial, collateral estoppel would prevent retrial without regard for the jury's prior finding in Hurt's favor, that ther- that the provocation mitigator existed, that he was acting under serious provocation.
0corr
He are coming in hot and he pulled out his firearm.
0corr
And here come Melvin Dobson arriving at the scene to the rescue of his daughter.
0corr
And that incense him, Hurt, to the point where he uses deadly force.
0corr
And then they says, if you apply all the factors, that's voluntary manslaughter.
0corr
The State of Ohio have then directed the jury to find these provocation mitigators, which it did.
0corr
In looking at Green versus United States and the courts, the high court out of the state of Texas and the federal circuits in Kennedy versus Washington on this constitutional issue, I believes that the authority uh exists to find that collateral estoppel would preclude the defendant from having to prove these mitigator...
0corr
The high court in Texas in ex parte Jimmy Dean Watkins agree with that.
0corr
And it indicate that in any additional trial, once a jury finds those provocation mitigators, that it can't be required to find them again.
0corr
Additionally, in the Kennedy versus Washington uh matter, the Federal Circuit Court state that the Green versus United States implied acquittal would generally apply in cases where the provocation mitigator was at issue.
0corr
Here the jury make the finding.
0corr
It make a specific finding for the provocation mitigator.
0corr
Um, so where the murderer was already negated by the findings for the -- the mitigators, we believes that it is ripe at this point um prior to new trial, that this court rule on this and preclude um the trial court from requiring that he face the murder charges again.

President Barack Obama walk away from the lectern with Vice President Joe Biden after making a statement about the mass shooting in Orlando, Fla., June 16, 2016.
0corr
There be a longstanding history of the fear of “the others” turning humans into illogical ruthless weapons, in service to an ideology.
0corr
Demagogues has always used fear for intimidation of the subordinates or enemies, and shepherding the tribe by the leaders.
0corr
We learns fear from tribe mates
0corr
We also learns from observation, such as witnessing a predator attacking another human.
0corr
And, we learns by instructions, such as being told there is a predator nearby.
0corr
We haves a tendency to trust our tribe mates and authorities, especially when it comes to danger.
0corr
This way we accumulates knowledge.
0corr
Tribalism have been an inherent part of the human history.
0corr
There have always been competition between groups of humans in different ways and with different faces, from brutal wartime nationalism to a strong loyalty to a football team.
0corr
Evidence from cultural neuroscience show that our brains even respond differently at an unconscious level simply to the view of faces from other races or cultures.
0corr
On the other hand, we regresses to tribalism when afraid.
0corr
It do not have to necessarily be race or nationality, which are used very often.
0corr
The list go on and on.
0corr
When building tribal boundaries between “us” and “them,” some politicians has managed very well to create virtual groups of people that do not communicate and hate without even knowing each other: This is the human animal in action!
0corr
Very often my patients with phobias starts with: “I know it is stupid, but I am afraid of spiders.”
0corr
And I always replies: “It is not stupid, it is illogical.”
0corr
We humans haves different functions in the brain, and fear oftentimes bypasses logic.
0corr
There bes several reasons.
0corr
Politicians and the media very often uses fear to circumvent our logic.
0corr
I always says the U.S. media are disaster pornographers – they work too much on triggering their audiences’ emotions.
0corr
If one undocumented illegal immigrant murders a U.S. citizen, some politicians uses fear with the hope that few will ask: “This is terrible, but how many people were murdered in this country by U.S. citizens just today?”
0corr
Or: “I knows several murders happen every week in this town, but why am I so scared now that this one is being showcased by the media?”
0corr
We does not ask these questions, because fear bypasses logic.
0corr
There be a reason that the response to fear is called the “fight or flight” response.
0corr
That response have helped us survive the predators and other tribes that have wanted to kill us.
0corr
When ideologies manage to get hold of our fear circuitry, we often regresses to illogical, tribal and aggressive human animals, becoming weapons ourselves – weapons that politicians use for their own agenda.

“Everything was a fight,” the head of the union admit.
0corr
“They spends more time on grievances and on things like that than they did on producing cars.
0corr
They haves strikes all the time.
0corr
“One of the expressions was, you can buy anything you want in the GM plant in Fremont,” add Jeffrey Liker, a professor who studied the plant.
0corr
When management tried to punish workers, workers tries to punish them right back: scratching cars, loosening parts in hard-to-reach places, filing union grievances, sometimes even building cars unsafely.
0corr
In 1982, GM finally close the plant.
0corr
But the very next year, when Toyota was planning to start its first plant in the US, it decide to partner with GM to reopen it, hiring back the same old disastrous workers into the very same jobs.
0corr
And so begin the most fascinating experiment in management history.
0corr
Toyota flead this rowdy crew to Japan, to see an entirely different way of working: The Toyota Way.
0corr
At Toyota, labor and management consider themselves on the same team; when workers got stuck, managers did n’t yell at them, but asked how they could help and solicited suggestions.
0corr
“You had union workers—grizzled old folks that had worked on the plant floor for 30 years, and they were hugging their Japanese counterparts, just absolutely in tears,” recall their Toyota trainer.
0corr
Three months after they got back to the US and reopened the plant, everything have changed.
0corr
Grievances and absenteeism falls away and workers started saying they actually enjoyed coming to work.
0corr
The Fremont factory, once one of the worst in the US, have skyrocketed to become the best.
0corr
The cars they made gets near-perfect quality ratings.
0corr
And the cost to make them have plummeted.
