18 year-old Russian singer fined for #discrediting #military [no, not #US], still in police custody
Street singer Diana Loginova fined 30,000 rubles after spending 13 days in administrative detention
Instead of being released, #Loginova is being kept overnight at Police Department No. 76 in St. Petersburg after new case was opened against her for holding an “unauthorized” public event, according to independent Russian outlet Mediazona.
Loginova's supporters have expressed concern that authorities may be preparing a criminal case against her. If charged again with discrediting Russia's military, she could face a more serious punishment than a fine.
A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

Where Science Enters the Courtroom, the Daubert Name Looms Large

"The plaintiffs countered that #corporations and other #industries with deep pockets ginned up research solely for the purpose of #discrediting #litigation. Scientists paid by the #asbestos industry, for instance, had suppressed results that could damage the product’s reputation. As Nace explained in an interview with The Washington Informer, #MerrellDow had been 'financing scientific articles to get their way.' In some ways, here was the fake news of its time: If you lacked any compelling scientific support for your case, one way to undermine the credibility of your opponents was by calling their evidence 'junk science.'"
