Sometimes a new prosecutor who doesn’t know I’m not to be fucked with will “offer” a plea to the top charge and no agreement on time and I feel like that would definitely work on Chuck Schumer

70+ trials in speaking to a jury does not make me anxious but God still gives me his toughest battles in the form of an HDMI cord and sharing screens

Prosecutors in the courthouse where I work are leaving in droves to go to ICE like y’all couldn’t wait to join the Nazis for a little bit extra a month

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?
This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

One of my hobbies is running in the woods, which I love and is a great way to let off steam except every 6-10 months I really eat shit tripping over a root and today was that day and now I have to go argue motions with scratches on my face for a silly reason

“Reversed and remanded” is a great mandate but I think the trial judge also should have to tell me to my face “you were right and I was wrong”

Lawyers for ICE are increasingly hiding their identities in court. This is completely unprecedented.

“We’re not really doing names publicly,” said Judge ShaSha Xu — after stating her own name and those of the immigrants and their lawyers.

I was hanging out with a misdemeanor attorney during his docket and he casually goes "I guess they didn't have body worn camera when you started?"

Imagine if I walked into the hospital room of a child dying from a preventable illness or injury and just shrugged my shoulders and said “well, we are all going to die.”

We need better Senators.

I’ve always known English is a ridiculous language but now that I have a 5 year old who’s asking me why it’s “caught” instead of “catched” it’s really just staring me in the face

This is the criminal complaint against the Wisconsin judge, which is filled with info gained from interviews from people in the courtroom, including attorneys.

Now more than ever please remember you do not have to speak to law enforcement.
