@QC_FC @CharlotteFC @NickKelly @MLS What does “spoken for” man?

[Chris Fialko @FialkoCC]

Every jury trial is a living civics lesson to jurors, witnesses and police about the rights of Americans. I hope that some of the federal pandemic money flowing to states will be used to staff our courts so that we can retain the right to a jury trial, a bulwark of liberty. 4/4

[Chris Fialko @FialkoCC]

Last week I interrupted my CLE speech at the North Carolina Bar Association (about cross-examination) to express worry about vanishing jury trials. 1/4

[Chris Fialko @FialkoCC]

As a result, I predict much pressure to resolve even more felonies by plea than normal. 3/4

Any scoop on whether kickoff still at 7:00?

[Charlotte Independence @Independence]

It’s 5:00 which means it’s time to clock out and head over to Big Ben Pub for a pregame meal and a pint before the big match! #WeAreCLT #CLTvMIA

@bhofheimer_espn @JonChampionJC @TaylorTwellman Hope ESPN plans to show the first 20 minutes of U.S.A. matches this summer, unlike today,

I drove home past five gas stations in Charlotte just now. The pumps all looked so lonely.

Anyone know if fans are allowed at NCAA women’s soccer tournament games today at Matthews Sportsplex?

New from me: Did the Raleigh PD’s former “officer of the year” frame over a dozen local residents as heroin dealers?

A lawsuit says there’s evidence he did—and that fellow cops knew and didn’t do anything about it. RPD declined to comment. #ncpol https://t.co/6UxDomtbvt
