People on true crime threads here regularly say they'd convict people because of their own adhoc, "why would you say x if you're innocent?" analysis, from just watching police interrogations. There's entire YouTube channels from credentialed psychologists trying to do it.

Do you feel you biological dad owes you anything? Stories like this would make me nervous about donating. "What if 20 kids show up at my door asking for college tuition in 20 years" kinda worried.

You left out the bit where the state has essentially infinite money to spend prosecuting your case and you've got... whatever you can give up from your life savings (which probably isn't much if you've got a public defender).

Some thing I've always wondered about with housing in the bay area was how much the lack of affordable public transit contributes. Do you know?

I don't think it would help in the bay to be honest. Many tech workers found it beneath themselves to ride what was there. But at least for service workers i thought bring able to cheaply commute from south bay in in the morning would let them live somewhere more affordable.
