The Supreme Court says cops can arrest you and hold you in jail for four days and take you trial if you make fun of them and there’s nothing you can do about it. https://t.co/H8TmtQSGzG

In a major rebuke of Stringer Bill, Jack Burkman emailed Jacob Wohl his thoughts about the Black voter suppression scheme that eventually made both men convicted felons:

'win or lose the black robo was another great jw idea'

Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman -- right-wing operatives behind a number of hoaxes -- pleaded guilty this morning to a felony charge in Cleveland for sending thousands of robocalls with misinformation about mail-in voting before the November 2020 election https://t.co/2sZztXeyoE

The Ohio Supreme Court just removed longtime Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Pinkey Carr from office and suspended her law license indefinitely for what disciplinary counsel called "unprecedented" misconduct. https://t.co/J6ktieGHwi

[Cuyahoga Comm Pleas @cuycommonpleas]

The Centers For Disease Control continues to list Cuyahoga County as "Red" for high COVID-19 transmission rates. Masks are required to be worn in Court buildings.

Ex-South Euclid Muni Court Judge Gayle Williams-Byers, who abruptly resigned last weekend after a decade marked by multiple battles with city officials, will appear on a new show featuring famed TV personality Judge Greg Mathis. https://t.co/uPHMXa6tk7

[Cuyahoga Comm Pleas @cuycommonpleas]

The CDC ranks Cuyahoga County as being "high" for COVID-19 transmission rates. Due to this, masks remain mandatory in Court buildings.

Parma police and fire were called to former Cuyahoga County Recorder Pat O’Malley’s home earlier this year for a “mental health crisis incident.” O’Malley, 63, is now charged with felonious assault of a peace officer, and police have provided few details. https://t.co/mV1F6LTDx6

@kriswernowsky We will not stand idly by. We will stand *audibly* by!

@PiranhaRGJ ....would actually implicate Watson of what is now a higher-tier crime in Texas than what most of the women actually accuse him of.

[Cory Shaffer @cory_shaffer]

@PiranhaRGJ I haven't seen any evidence that the women are sex workers (or frankly any evidence at all one way or the other) so I'm afraid I can't speculate on the issue. I'm just surprised that people would jump to calling the women prostitutes, when, even if that were true......

[Cory Shaffer @cory_shaffer]

@PiranhaRGJ So you're saying that Deshaun Watson should have been charged with solicitation, then? A crime the Texas legislature felt was so serious that they recently amended it from a misdemeanor to a state-jail felony carrying a minimum of 180 days? https://t.co/mLHLC6RFlU

@jvalrules It was Kelly Ann. Thanks for pointing it out!

Judge sentenced Ronald Newberry, one of three men convicted in the kidnapping and killing of Paul Bradley and his 14-year-old Paris Bradley in Oct. 2018, to life with his first chance at parole after 65 years. Am attorney for Newberry, 28, said he plans to appeal.

[Cory Shaffer @cory_shaffer]

@jvalrules Sorry, should have been more clear: the Judges Gallagher actually combined their powers, a la Captain Planet, to create one singularly named "Gallagher" with the strong points of each Judge Gallagher. Soft-spoken, strong-willed and explanatory.

[Cory Shaffer @cory_shaffer]

@AndrewJTobias @jpelzer why watch that when you could watch a zillion guys strike out trying to hit an 800-foot home run!

“You’re a f------ bum, and if you weren’t a police officer, I’d whoop your a--, too,” George told the officer, who is not named. https://t.co/KpLTjEPDt1
