@HeffalumpOld @ElLockeLawGroup Of course, the State has the burden. But, how many on a jury actually fully conceptualize this? Also, penalty to the crim defendant for a loss is, generally, much higher than it is to the state for a loss.

@CCM_OperaMan @Williams4ohio Domains by Proxy is literally just the privacy provider for some registrars, most commonly GoDaddy (it’s owned by the founder of GoDaddy). It doesn’t mean anything about where the actual registrar of that site lives.

@Williams4ohio Is it retroactive looking back at all? Know someone who just got their truck back from impound after being stolen and it was over $300 to get it back even though he got there a couple hours after it was towed in.

[Michael G. Aird @michaelgaird]

@warrenruis @CutlerBryantNC I almost feel like that could be the point - a call back to a different era that’s comforting to some.

@JoshHanson1530 Better to not wade into that whole “I’m a lawyer but not an attorney” debate that seems to be rolling around the internet.

Congrats on graduation!

@adam_shniderman @JoshHanson1530 I had this exact same dream when I was in school a few times. Mine would be id find out right before the final exam and have to take a final with never been in the class

I think we should legalize it. The probability of overdose or a bad batch is greatly reduced if there is actual QA & regulation.

Also, crime flourishes when substances are made illegal. Alcohol is very much a “drug” – it’s just a legacy drug from olden times when we had no technology!

Prohibition of alcohol in the United States caused the greatest increase in organized crime in our history. How many times do we have to learn this lesson!?

If you're in the criminal defense world and you want to do your best for your client; I really don't care very much about anything else.

[Michael G. Aird @michaelgaird]

@JoshHanson1530 The fun is about to begin

[Michael G. Aird @michaelgaird]

@janecoaston I think @tylercowen would completely agree with your reasoning; have you checked out his dc area food blog? https://t.co/wlU3zxb9D8

@JoshHanson1530 @adam_shniderman I personally found figuring out all of my jobs since 18 to be the more difficult task because I always worked a side part time job, several at companies that no longer exist.

@ASFleischman So was the case dismissed then or…..?

[Da_Advocate @dmndvs]

Today I had the honor of watching an innocent man walk out of prison after nearly 15 years of incarceration. Marcus Sapp was the last client file I opened as a fellow with the Ohio Innocence Project, literally my last day as a fellow.

[Michael G. Aird @michaelgaird]

@AndrewRCraig My 1st thought is people prefer, or at least don’t mind, the outcome but think the reasoning of it was bad. Although then I realized most ppl responding to the poll probably never read it or really even bother to think about the different ways to interpret the constitution.

On April 3, 1860, the Pony Express began delivering mail.

The service could send a message 2,000 miles in 10 days and charged $5 for every half-oz of mail, the equivalent of 62.5 hours of blue-collar work.

In today's wages, that's equal to $2,187.

In 1870, the Department of Justice was created to fight #CivilRights abuses.

In 2023, less than 0.5% of DOJ’s $48,000,000,000-budget (🤯) will go to its #CivilRights division.

Meanwhile, more than 60% goes to LEOs and prisons, staffed by people who get #FederalImmunity.

During Prohibition, deaths from adulterated alcohol were common, just as deaths from adulteration of drugs like heroin and cocaine are common today. Every one of those deaths represents a cost of the war on drugs, whose proponents need to acknowledge that.

@aemcburney @JoshHanson1530 @ConLawWarrior Like before, when you thought the stories on Jerry Springer Show were fake…and you realize they probablt weren’t.

[Andrew Elliott McBurney @aemcburney]

@ConLawWarrior One of the things I learned in the first year of law school is that anything you can possibly imagine has probably already happened.
