Tolerance For Ambiguity | Lawyers on Strike

8220;Generally Subsumed”? Of Backstops And Due Process →. August 12, 2015 · 10:06 am. Again, SHG is not technically wrong in this comment. You sound as if you’ve been overloaded to the point of head explosion. Tough nuggies. This is reality, and it’s messy. Tolerance for ambiguity is one of the foremost qualities needed to practice criminal law. Not everyone has it. But once again there’s more than a little irony going on. A tolerance for ambiguity should not become perverted into. That has ill-served hi...

California Prisoner Hunger Strike Over. Amanda Knox Re-Trial →. September 8, 2013 · 10:19 am. Ugh I found it very distasteful, and so did a lot of guys. One episode that put the matter in stark relief was when this young Navy reporter from, I believe, “All Hands” magazine (the Navy is a society all unto itself, with its own customs, practices, and of course magazines and other media) interviewed the then still living – and legendary – Arleigh Burke. This one named Scarcella. The prosecutors come in for s...

Two caveats: 1) I’m not sure that’s the right address because twitter confuses me; 2) I may be setting a record for the lowest number of followers in the entire twitter system. But fear not! If any interest is shown I shall regularly tweet. In the meantime I shall be working to identify others that. 4 responses to “. May 14, 2013 at 8:30 pm. Oops, posted this on the wrong post. I followed you. May 14, 2013 at 9:23 pm. Yes I see that. I’ll follow you back. You in Buffalo? January 28, 2015 at 9:07 pm.

Newer posts →. June 18, 2016 · 11:14 am. Verdicts of not guilty are very rare, so we must have been very clever to do that, except that we weren’t. We just found a weak spot in the prosecution’s case and tapped it gently enough, or hard enough as the case may be, and it worked out well for us and our client. Was it a “just” verdict? We think so. Do we. Probably not. At least not very much. And what if it had, and the defendant was actually innocent and was never even there? 8221; to that question? If a j...

Smoking Gun Part One – Ashley Baker | Lawyers on Strike

Trying To Stop A Prosecution. Smoking Gun Part Two: Todd Gaddy →. August 23, 2011 · 7:58 pm. Smoking Gun Part One – Ashley Baker. There were several hundred pages of documents, almost none of which I had ever seen. I went to Don’s office and reviewed them. One thing that jumped out was a statement taken from Mechal Fuoco back in 2004:. But he had refused to provide it to me. So for the first time I saw what Dana Carson’s handwriting looked like. And it was quite obviously taken by Dana Carson, although h...

The Best Evidence Rule, Intelligence, And The Ashley Baker Statement | Lawyers on Strike

Mozart And Vlad Horowitz →. September 5, 2011 · 11:52 am. The Best Evidence Rule, Intelligence, And The Ashley Baker Statement. I sometimes worry that I have an inability to properly explain myself. One of the good things about writing a blog is the daily challenge of coming up with something cogent and interesting that you explain to others. Like anything else I have done, there are times I’m probably somewhat effective and other times I’m probably not. Even without taking into account its contradiction...

A Hot Mess. Ugh. | Lawyers on Strike
https://strikelawyer.wordpress.com/2015/07/30/a-hot-mess-ugh
United States v. Agurs. July 30, 2015 · 5:10 pm. A Hot Mess. Ugh. Here’s a recent (July 24th) District Court opinion out of the 7th circuit. Illustrating once again how the law is in an appalling state of confusion about some of the most basic things. Like the government lying and cheating to convict people who then spend decades of their lives in prison for crimes they didn’t commit. The same holds for Juarez’s allegedly flawed photo array procedures, as explained by Petty…. Deliberately altering eviden...

Sea Change (Updated) | Lawyers on Strike
https://strikelawyer.wordpress.com/2014/01/30/sea-change
Amanda Knox Guilty Again →. January 30, 2014 · 11:01 am. Last week, a three judge panel on the 7th Circuit came down with a split decision in the matter of Fields v. Wharrie. Judge Posner wrote the majority opinion and Judge Sykes dissented. Like almost all the due process cases that we have been interested in here recently at Lawyers on Strike, Fields is an action under 42 U.S.C. 1983. 8211; you have Judge Posner answering one way – that it. Anyway, I figured once I had shown what happened to her, my jo...

Brady Follies – Propagating The Big Lie | Lawyers on Strike
https://strikelawyer.wordpress.com/2015/07/09/brady-follies-propagating-the-big-lie
United States v. Agurs →. July 9, 2015 · 5:40 pm. Brady Follies – Propagating The Big Lie. This looks like a law review article. But it isn’t. It’s in a journal of “criminology”. Criminology is a field of study undertaken primarily by law enforcement types, and it probably doesn’t matter to anyone but us but in our opinion it is not a proper field of study for a lawyer. Too slanted in one direction. Line of cases with the Brady. Suppression of evidence to impeach that testimony constituted a denial of du...
