@Allison_Brennan@shipwreckedcrew Correct, that is a peremptory challenge. My question was, how did you know which side challenged you? I assume the answer is that you heard them exercising the challenges, which is not the way things are done in New York or in many other jurisdictions around the country.
@Allison_Brennan@shipwreckedcrew What seemed odd to me is that they would exercise peremptory challenges in front of the prospective jurors, which is a very bad idea and is never done in my jurisdiction.
@pebkac101@shipwreckedcrew I might not want you on my jury because, on the evidence of this post, you think you are a lot smarter than you are (or, more charitably, you think you know a lot more than you do). Attorneys don't have unlimited peremptory challenges, you know.
@Allison_Brennan@shipwreckedcrew I'm curious how you know who struck you. Were challenges exercised in front of the prospective jurors? That seems like a foolish system.
@RecusantRockin@shipwreckedcrew When I was picking juries, my colleagues and I didn't like college professors because they lacked common sense and tended to think a bit too highly of themselves (not all college professors of course, but you have to make generalizations in voir dire).
@dilanesper@OptimalColdBrew So you disagree with the findings of all the courts that he was not in custody (and thus Miranda warnings were not needed)? Can you explain where you think they went wrong? Or do you feel that Miranda warnings must be given even if the person is not in custody?
@marcorandazza If there is any truth to this anecdote, you are a very bad lawyer. You donโt talk about cases in elevators when you donโt know everyone else in there. You can harm your client by doing so,
@AddictedtoArg@donaldmorganjr@lamps_apple If this were a criminal charge, extending the statute of limitations after the SOL had already expired in the case would absolutely be an ex post facto clause violation. I assume it is different with a civil case, but know nothing about it. It certainly seems just as wrong.
@Joseph_Lee042@TheVantasner@AndrewKolvet Do you practice criminal law in New York? How do you know this is not in accord with New York law? Plus, the most damning evidence was not suppressed, and it makes sense to give a close call to the defense on less essential evidence.
@LawCrimeNetwork I donโt intend to watch this, but maybe someone who has can explain why itโs a scandal that a man would send sexually suggestive messages to his wife.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren has served in the U.S. Senate since January 3, 2013โover 13 years as of May 2026.
Her net worth is estimated at $7โ12 million.
She and her husband report ~$900k AGI in recent years and pay hundreds of thousands in federal taxes annually (e.g., $268k in 2017).
Bezos paid $1.4 billion in federal income taxes from 2006โ2018 alone per ProPublica dataโvastly more than Warren's lifetime total, though some years were $0 under existing tax rules.
