[The Docket Diva™️ @_LaJanee_]

1 witness and 2 questions. No character witnesses, pastor, coach or teacher. No mental health professional or mitigation specialist.

A teenager is about to be sentenced for murder, possibly for life, and that is the entire punishment phase the defense put on. It lasted less than hour? In my years of covering high profile cases as a journalist, I have never seen this.

This is an obvious pattern.

No expert witnesses in the guilt phase. Opening statements waived and now this. A competent mitigation case for a young defendant takes months to build—Investigators, childhood records, trauma history, neurodevelopment screening. You construct a human being in front of that jury so they cannot reduce him to the act alone.

They sent his mother up there to say she loves him. Two questions and sat down.

There are only a few explanations. The family didn’t know what they were missing. Counsel made a bad bet that guilt phase sympathy would carry over. Or this defense was never adequately funded or staffed for a case this size.

Every one of those is a problem. Together they form the outline of an ineffective assistance of counsel argument on appeal.

The sentence hasn’t come down yet. But the question of how this defense was built, and for whom, is already answered.

Charlie Kirk (a college dropout) called Michelle Obama, a graduate of Princeton, and Harvard law a dei hire and a beneficiary of affirmative action. To call him a great American Patriot is literally insane.

The kids being shot in schools are also human beings. The people being bombed and killed in Palestine are also human beings. The people being illegally kidnapped, deported and ripped away from their families are also human beings. FUCK CHARLIE KIRK.

[Eric @LvckyLeffty_]

Charlie Kirk called Matin Luther King a “…terrible person” with a “…flawed moral compass…” and called the Civil Rights Act of 1964 a “…huge mistake…”

Black people aren’t obligated to mourn Charlie Kirk.

Black Americans are literally hated by everyone else… it’s very disheartening! We built a country that doesn’t respect us and we are despised by the country we allegedly descended from. That shit is sad fr! We never stood a chance!
