Think your Maine building is "grandfathered in" to a different code? Think again. Considering the history and lessons of the Noyes Street fire case on this 4th anniversary of the tragedy https://t.co/XSGCOGlj8o

Listening to the Helsinki joint press conference makes me nostalgic for Sarah Palin's geopolitical insights.

Though for a sec that this was a Maine case! Which suggested I had been transported to the upside down and would live the rest of my days in terror. Imagine my relief in realizing that this threat to conviction integrity comes form those crazies in NH. https://t.co/zKyPLv4aBo

State v. Drown: ”[W]e have cautioned that failure to adhere to standards set forth in our case law may result not only in reversal of convictions but also in disciplinary proceedings against the offending prosecutor.”

@michaelbdumas Kind of you to say! It’s not so much a win in my book as a non-loss if that makes sense?

@michaelbdumas Dude, you are so psyched on digital evidence right now that it’s making me wonder if I’m in the matrix.

Just floating this out there.

I'm healthy as a horse and my people live forever. And I've never written any thing controversial that could pose a problem at a confirmation hearing.

[Luke Rioux @LukeRioux]

@meaggiepie Well, these things happen. Nothing personal. They sure don’t like to lose. And neither do I.

@TinaHeat23 @mjpelts Thanks! It’s a unique case that presents the opportunity for an outcome like this. We knew we could get here if things fell into place. I’m relieved that Tim might have the chance to live a normal life but that doesn’t diminish the tragedy of the killing.

[Tina Heat @TinaHeat23]

.@LukeRioux @mjpelts : I am without words. You just saved Tim's life. "Congratulations" seems like such a hollow word for what you deserve for your remarkable, unwavering advocacy. Totally awesome, in the true meaning of that word. https://t.co/SYYzvdiR9w

@TinaHeat23 Nice! I love it there. Have fun.

[Luke Rioux @LukeRioux]

@michaelbdumas Nice job! It was fun! Hope argument 2 went better. Maybe I’ll see you at the retrial, if the sjlc leaves Mills’ order alone.

[Luke Rioux @LukeRioux]

@michaelbdumas Just relax. Trust the process. The words will come. But I don’t know why Robbins appealed this thing. I don’t envy your position.

[Luke Rioux @LukeRioux]

@TinaHeat23 @michaelbdumas Hey! That���s gonna be fun! Not often I get to hide behind a deferential standard of review. #thunderdomerules
