Jury nullification for anyone in court for removing a Flock camera!

people be like “what if YOU were the victim of a violent crime” like oh honey I WAS

Here's the thing: in *theory* it's good that even the worst of us is entitled to a competent defense lawyer. But the reality is that being good at this job also means being responsible for unleashing irredeemable monsters back into society. And, for a decent person, that inevitably eats away at your soul. So all the decent people go find something else to do. And what you're left with is a profession that's occupied entirely by zealots and ghouls—like this woman who fetishizes violent criminals but couldn't care less about the harm they inflict. These are the antisocial demons who revel in destruction but get to wrap themselves in the Constitution for plausible deniability. My point here isn't that we should end our adversarial system or erode existing rights. It's that we should be clear-eyed about the realities of modern criminal justice and fully understand the tradeoffs that went into creating it.

A new bill in the state Legislature would require counties to report basic information about public defender services, such as how many cases attorneys handle, in an effort to compel CA to confront its public defender crisis. cal.news/4uIHsWC 📸 Miguel Gutierrez Jr.

Someone yelled down the hallway that I’m a “slime ball” today after court. A slime ball! Is that still in the public lexicon as an attorney insult??
