Court opinion:

  • Stephens and Teeter constitute a team of long-haul truck drivers. Generally, while one of them is driving in the front of the truck, the other one is sleeping in the back of the truck.

  • Since the truck drivers usually drive for long periods without stopping, they often urinate in bottles, leave the bottles on the floor of the truck, and then throw the bottles into the trash at their next stop. Here, however, Stephens is annoyed at Teeter's practices of (1) leaving his bottles of urine on the passenger seat or on the bed rather than on the floor and (2) using spill-prone fast-food drink cups rather than properly-capped bottles for his urine.

  • At a truck-stop restaurant, Stephens confronts Teeter over this issue. Teeter gets angry at being called out in public. When the two drivers return to their truck, Teeter unveils a knife and stabs Stephens multiple times, inflicting life-threatening injuries.

  • Teeter is charged with and convicted of multiple crimes, and is sentenced to twenty years in prison (with the possibility of parole after 17 years). The appeals panel affirms.

How do you find these things?

And how are you just gonna glide over the part where Juror 1 apparently threatened Juror 10 hard enough that the defense insisted it was a mistrial?

How do you find these things?

I have been checking the daily uploads of various courts for multiple years, just for fun.

And how are you just gonna glide over the part where Juror 1 apparently threatened Juror 10 hard enough that the defense insisted it was a mistrial?

I think the piss-jug situation is much more interesting than the juror weirdness, personally.

Man, I’d be way more worried about “computer expert, self taught, whose task with the government was going to be digitally erasing people.” But at least he’s “beyond reproach” as a government subcontractor, lol.

It must take tremendous restraint to avoid the phrase “pissed off” in sharing this story.

What is this place?

This website is a place for people who want to move past shady thinking and test their ideas in a court of people who don't all share the same biases. Our goal is to optimize for light, not heat; this is a group effort, and all commentators are asked to do their part.

The weekly Culture War threads host the most controversial topics and are the most visible aspect of The Motte. However, many other topics are appropriate here. We encourage people to post anything related to science, politics, or philosophy; if in doubt, post!

Check out The Vault for an archive of old quality posts. You are encouraged to crosspost these elsewhere.


Why are you called The Motte?

A motte is a stone keep on a raised earthwork common in early medieval fortifications. More pertinently, it's an element in a rhetorical move called a "Motte-and-Bailey", originally identified by philosopher Nicholas Shackel. It describes the tendency in discourse for people to move from a controversial but high value claim to a defensible but less exciting one upon any resistance to the former. He likens this to the medieval fortification, where a desirable land (the bailey) is abandoned when in danger for the more easily defended motte. In Shackel's words, "The Motte represents the defensible but undesired propositions to which one retreats when hard pressed."

On The Motte, always attempt to remain inside your defensible territory, even if you are not being pressed.


New post guidelines

If you're posting something that isn't related to the culture war, we encourage you to post a thread for it. A submission statement is highly appreciated, but isn't necessary for text posts or links to largely-text posts such as blogs or news articles; if we're unsure of the value of your post, we might remove it until you add a submission statement. A submission statement is required for non-text sources (videos, podcasts, images).

Culture war posts go in the culture war thread; all links must either include a submission statement or significant commentary. Bare links without those will be removed.

If in doubt, please post it!
