@MPowersNorrell @fitsnews Highly unlikely. His guidelines will likely be above the statutory maximum and whatever he gets will not be reduced by anything other than federal good time. CP cases are not eligible for first step act credits.

A client was hit with a target letter. Government offer was plea to a felony which would expose client to incarceration and job loss. Yesterday the government closed the case with no charges. Happy client and a big win.

@croptopsllc I did the same thing. "I'll never marry again." Then four months later, married him. That was over 18 years ago.

Now you can see how easy it is for LEO to lie to your faces when there is undeniable evidence to the contrary being circulated 24/7 to your TVs and your phones.

Now just imagine how easy it is for them to lie when there isn’t.

CJA Attorneys have not been paid for work undertaken since July 3rd. Apparently, some government attorneys think we should be compelled to continue doing so.

Court-appointed experts who aid defense lawyers are cutting costs & refusing assignments after 4 months of working without pay.

W/ no end in sight to the shutdown, lawyers are telling courts they can't get the experts their clients need. w/ @maia_spoto https://t.co/JXdQUUaVui

I love my job and I’m hopeful that I get to keep it, but ngl- not getting paid since July is disheartening.

[Renae Summers @renaesummers]

@emiline129 I hear you. I’m grateful for my husband but it’s absolutely gut wrenching to contemplate how long I can keep doing what I love and what I’m damn good at doing.

[Renae Summers @renaesummers]

@elainemittleman No.

The Wisconsin Public Defender system has been facing a lawsuit for 3 years because of Constitutional deficiencies. The state simply does not have enough PDs.

Now, the states largest law school is cutting its Public Defender clinic.
Don't worry, the prosecutor clinic is staying
