Being an attorney in the same courthouse for a long time is so funny, like what other job do you work around Greg for years and then one day it’s like actually you have to refer to Greg as “your honor” and stand up when he walks into a room now

@LindseyGrahamSC Have you heard the shit @realDonaldTrump says about veterans? Maybe stand of principle as opposed to taking a blatantly political position?
The Hilton donated the ~2600 dinners that went unserved at WHCD. They freeze dried the steak and lobster for longer shelf life before giving them to 2 shelters for abused women and children. HUGE thank you to the staff that worked through the night under terrible circumstances.
I stopped doing criminal defense because of prosecutors (long list of reasons why), but most of what this guy identifies as being sign juries are broken is the jury system functioning exactly as intended.
Jury nullification isn’t just about principled opposition to a particular law in all instances, it’s also the community making its own decisions about whether they want to make someone a criminal for particular conduct. This is far preferable to a bureaucrat deciding that question. That’s why we have juries: so the public gets to decide who’s a criminal, not the government
Juries are also SUPPOSED to hold the government to an extremely high evidentiary burden. Prosecutors think a conviction rate below 90% means something is wrong with juries. It doesn’t. It’s supposed to be really hard to take away someone’s liberty.
