In case you've forgotten who he is.
Brock limited the appeal of his conviction because it belatedly occurred to his lawyers that a retrial might open the door to Brock being sent to prison for several years. He argued that there was not sufficient evidence for a conviction. The appellate court laid out the facts of the case and, in essence, said that he was full of shit (the legal term is "this argument lacks merit").

The judge in the case had the balls to compare going lightly on the Affluenza Rapist to Brown v. Board of Education. That argument didn't fly with the voters, who fired his ass. The judge sued to stop/overturn the recall election, a litigation which was apparently declared to be frivolous, for he was ordered to pay attorney's fees to the recall's proponents. The judge asked his supporters to kick in for that.
But don't you worry about poor little Brock. His family will, in a few years or so, probably spread around some money and he'll get a pardon.

Brock Who?
I know, there must have been a lot of press about him somewhere, sometime. But I missed it. Or failed to pay attention to i t. Or forgot it. Or got it confused with something, or somebody else.
TMC, TMC, TMC! (Too many clowns.)
Yours crankily,
