Its a copy of the Armstrong Report, made all the way back in 2002 and from the eponymous Knapp Commission chief counsel and completed in 2003. The PDF has been out there for 20 years for anyone willing to read it
the basic gist is there's plenty of verifiable evidence Yusef Salaam and the other 4 did indeed beat and molest Trisha Meili (and a whole list of other people that same night), who was then subsequently attacked by another rapist, and they got convicted on a wrong theory of the crime for the whole of her injuries because police had no way to know about the second attack on her. Which isn't to say they were wrongly convicted, because arguably they hold culpability for leaving her for dead in the first place and the foreseeable attack by Reyes, particularly if he had actually joined them or been seen by them.

Farmer's thumbs-up emoji reply to texted contract offer means he accepted it, must pay $82,000: judge

"'I did not have time to review the Flax Contract and merely wanted to indicate that I did receive his text message,' the Saskatchewan farmer argued"

Court Decision

In court, Achter Ltd. argued that there was no binding contract because Mr. Achter’s “👍” emoji merely acknowledged receipt of the contract and didn’t confirm acceptance.

The court disagreed with this argument. Instead, it looked at the parties’ past communications when they had discussed grain sales. In previous interactions, they had understood Mr. Achter’s brief replies as acceptance of the contract, not just acknowledgment of receipt. To determine if a contract was formed, the court assessed how a reasonable person, aware of their past dealings, would interpret the “👍” emoji. In this context, the court found that a reasonable person would see it as an agreement, similar to their previous agreements.

Additionally, the court considered whether the “👍” emoji met the requirements under Saskatchewan’s Sale of Goods Act, which says that for a contract for sale of goods over $50 to be legally binding, it must either be partially performed (goods partially delivered or payment partially made), or the parties must sign their acceptance of the written contract. The court concluded that the “👍” emoji effectively acted as Mr. Achter’s signature—similar to electronic signatures or clicking an “I Agree” button on an electronic document, which are accepted ways to sign contracts.

Takeaway

This case highlights the importance of using well-drafted and properly signed contracts. If South West had insisted on Mr. Achter signing a physical contract for the flax seed delivery at $17 per bushel, this case likely wouldn’t have gone to court, as Mr. Achter wouldn’t have had a valid defense.

At the same time, the case shows that parties usually can’t evade their contractual obligations by relying on questionable “loopholes” that go against the essence of the agreement. Typically, these attempts won’t hold up in court.

ROFL

Guess it's time to blast contractual agreements and wait for emoji binding thumbs.

Wouldnt be possible in my country.

Nothing properly signed means its not a legal contract here. Simple and effective.

Right wing extremists kill a black man in cold blood while praising their gods. Hopefully BLM will have something to say about this.

In 2015, many liberal residents in Hamtramck, Michigan, celebrated as their city attracted international attention for becoming the first in the United States to elect a Muslim-majority city council.

They viewed the power shift and diversity as a symbolic but meaningful rebuke of the Islamophobic rhetoric that was a central theme of then Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign.

This week many of those same residents watched in dismay as a now fully Muslim and socially conservative city council passed legislation banning Pride flags from being flown on city property that had – like many others being flown around the country – been intended to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.
