Prosecutors took "no position" on the request.
I learned on "Behind the Bastards" that Hitler tried and failed to overthrow the government early on during his career (before Hitler was Hitler, you know) and then during the trial, basically everyone there, including the judge let him give a hour long speech about his political views that had nothing to do with anything, and then, well, he went on to become Hitler.
Feb. 26, 1924 Hitler gives a four-hour opening speech explaining his political views and goals.
Spongebob Title Card: 1 Month Later...
April 1, 1924 Judge Neithardt announces the verdicts. Hitler is found guilty, but receives only a lenient 8-month sentence. Under a strained interpretation of the law, he is not banished even though that is generally part of the punishment for non-German citizens convicted of high treason.
The evil counterpart to Castro's "la historia me absolvera" speech.
Looks like a partial reading of it, yeah. See also:

He looked a much sadder and wiser man today than last Spring...
It is believed he will retire to private life and return to Austria
Journalist be batting 1000, huh?
Not just journalists there’s a huge amount of publications from economists at the time that are like “German line go up so hitler will go down”
They never learn
Well, he did retire from politics eventually, and returned to hell, which is pretty much Austria.
I could maybe understand if she showed some contrition, but she explicitly says what she did wasn't wrong and that she'd do it again.
I wonder what the response would have been if Black Lives Matter did this.
They'll probably do that shit where they go on about how jailing her would negatively impact on her business, family, etc. and so they couldn't possibly do that.
I'm trying to think if contrition/lack thereof is part of pre-trial release determinations. Presumably not, as you're free to maintain your innocence before trial, but on the other hand, "I'd do it again" goes beyond lack of contrition and gets into danger to others. There are a ton of other, clear issues though:
- Letting someone wealthy enough to take off work and travel from Texas to D.C. leave the country and go to a place we don't have an extradition treaty with
- Letting someone go on a vacation on pre-trial release (a lot of times you're not even allowed to drink, even if your charge has nothing to do with alcohol or drugs)
- Letting someone travel all over hell during a pandemic, especially when I guarantee that her attorney cited Covid as a reason to keep her out of pre-trial detention in the first place, and I'd bet good money that she wasn't masked up on January 6th
Whatever chud AUSA did this hearing shouldn't have a job this morning; neither should the U.S. Attorney for the district.
Forgot this gem:
"So what they're trying to do is cancel me because I stood up for what I believe in and I can tell you this it's – and it's what I've told everybody – I would do it again in a heartbeat," Cudd said [in an interview with the news two days later.]
Man it'd be a laugh if they hit her with a felony murder charge
it's fine, this is just part of her "THEY'RE CENSORING ME" tour. she'll definitely come back. she hasn't even finalized the movie deal.
oh it was just for a "work related bonding retreat" for those "strong ties to the community" she has, and will continue having because she literally cannot be convicted.
