You wore an $11000 wedding dress? What did your wife wear?

This judge is deplorable. That's the bad sign. Just wait until he goes on a crazy Seth Rich rant.

It's a black PVD titanium quartz "limited edition" from that Bijan grifter. Leopard Daytona is giving waaaaay too much credit.

If the second hand ticks, you must convict. LOCK HIM UP.

Looks like a $100 watch a 16 year-old would want.

Looks like a Romain Jerome. Likely not quartz, not that it makes it any better.

12:58 P.M.: Attorney: Paul Manafort would not have left evidence ‘around’ if he was trying to break law

During a break, Paul Manafort’s lead attorney Kevin Downing offered a bit of Manafort’s defense on charges of failure to report foreign banks accounts. Essentially, he argued that if Manafort had known he was doing something illegal, he wouldn’t have been so easy to catch.

“Nobody intending to violate the law would leave the evidence around for his accountant to find it,” Downing said in court.

Judge T.S. Ellis III made the same point, summarizing the defense as, “There’s a trail in these documents that would lead to the truth, and somebody who violated the law wouldn’t have done that.”

wtf

the bloody glove left at the scene and a matching glove found at OJ’s house logically leads investigators to believe OJ committed the murders, but somebody who committed 2 murders wouldn’t have wanted that kind of evidence to be found

Derp squad is just FURIOUS that Manafort is being prosecuted for things having nothing to do with the campaign.

It’s such a common bull**** defense argument that i see in trials constantly, I can’t believe the judge is buying it. It happens so frequently I even used to have a line I would use in my closings when a defense attorney made the argument that his client woudl be way too smart to have committed this crime and left this evidence in an easy to find way: “Ladies and Gentlemen, the Law requires that the defendant be presumed innocent, it does not require that he be presumed intelligent.”

Excellent taste, sir.

Are those subdials decorative? I think they might be. If they aren't, how the **** do you read the middle one, it has 3 hands and is slightly off center of the subdial. I assume it's some mass market drop in quartz chrono movement, but that subdial movement is so unique I think this might be below the department store Seiko level and all the way to the "non functional chronograph pushers" $.99+shipping ebay Chinese ****.

defense: if manafort really was guilty, this evidence of his guilt wouldn't even exist

judge (interjecting): soros hides all the evidence against him pretty well, you'll never see him in a courtroom because mk-ultra controls the newspapers.

$21k for PVD also. I'd hate to know what a Bijan DLC with some modest auto like a Miyota costs. How much is a sapphire upgrade? This is the smart guy that is too smart to leave tracks that bought this watch.
