Way to go Mike!

Continuing a discussion from the Bragg Manhattan DA charges thread that's more appropriate for this thread. Go easy on us, chancery, even SCOTUS gets it wrong repeatedly: The Eighth Amendment protects against excessive civil fines , including forfeitures. Alexander v. United States, 509 U.S. 544, 11...

Also,

mostly by me.

Further discussion should probably go in the main Trump thread, which is where I'll reply to W. Kevin Vicklund's devastating riposte.

:explode: ;) Hmm. Well, sure, restitution to victims can be awarded as one of the penalties imposed as the result of a criminal judgment. N.Y. Executive Law 63(12) provides for an order "directing restitution and damages." And conceptually, I guess, there is often a fuzzy overlap between ...

But I probably should increase the $83M fines amount. :oldman: :horse: Taps the sign: Sorry to be that guy, but these are civil recoveries, not fines, which are criminal penalties. Actually not sorry. :smoking: Please: "judgments," "damage awards," "civil recoveries", ...

A dialog on the question of Trump's counsel not conceding the authenticity of video tapes and transcripts: https://twitter.com/lawofruby/status/1785340019248337044 Lisa Rubin @lawofruby This is not only a waste of the jury’s time, but it is a silly strategy for those who keep insisting the DA is kee...

Hadn't looked at this thread for a long while ...

Same here, chancery. It's a tricky topic. I had a case involving contempt in a civil case in which the judge put my client and the opposing client both in jail. I learned that day about arrogant, abusive judges who say things they totally forget. He told my client in fervent tones to come to court ...

There’s a difference between “veterans” and “retirees.” I honestly don’t know much about veterans. I retired from the military after 27 years. My retired pay comes from DHS, not the VA. Most people (but not all) who retire from the military with a disability are paid by the VA and comply with the V...

It was grimly amusing that both Michael Popok and retired Justice Barbara Jaffe stumbled when the discussion turned to the differences between civil and criminal contempt. It's a topic that's subtle and tricky, the kind of thing I've never been able to keep straight for very long after I've studied ...

And I see this on a VA FAQ: Veteran participation in state marijuana programs does not affect eligibility for VA care and services. VA providers can and do discuss marijuana use with Veterans as part of comprehensive care planning, and adjust treatment plans as necessary. https://www.publichealth.va...

Not that any of this matters to me. I can’t possess [marijuana] or use it since I’m retired from the military. And I don’t think I would even if I could. But I’m glad the folks who want it can have it. I haven't been following this thread, and just saw your post from three years ago. Is this still ...

Rubin isn't the only one commenting on it as unusual, but I defer to your experience. Just to be clear: IANACrL. And I was mostly a brief-writing lawyer, and I had very little direct experience even with civil jury trials. But in the course of a career you do pick things up. Everything that defense...

Katie Phang @KatiePhang IMO, Trump's team gambled and lost if they thought that the prosecution wasn't going to be able to get these folks here from places like Indiana (the C-Span gentleman) and Texas (the Esquire gentleman) to get these pieces of evidence admitted into the record. Never underesti...

Meh. The testimony was probably quite brief, and unless the jury is exposed to tedious improbable objections or questioning, I don't see any likelihood that this would piss off the jury. More importantly, I think Rubin isn't focusing on the difference between civil and criminal practice. A defense c...

If this motion interests you, you'd be better off skimming the government's brief than sitting through this video.

I should note that I stopped listening after about 2 minutes at 1.5 speed.

https://twitter.com/TheRickWilson/status/1783839315727888679 Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson Kristi Noem is trash. Decades with hunting- and bird-dogs, and the number I've killed because they were chicken-sharp or had too much prey drive is ZERO. Puppies need slow exposure to birds, and bird-scent. She ...

From a Rolling Stone article: On their way home, Noem made a pit stop at the home of some locals who owned chickens. Cricket, fresh off her joyous bird-chasing romp, escaped the truck and began terrorizing the chickens, Noem writes. “Like a trained assassin,” Noem writes, Cricket began “grabb[ing] o...

Supplemental Monitorship Order

https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef ... CAj55o/g==

For the avoidance of doubt the 2024 Monitorship Order is modified to authorize the Monitor to share information and communicate with the Court and any party on an ex parte basis.

Letter dated yesterday from former Judge Jones, the Monitor. https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=L5YgPWa87t_PLUS_i2U8UPFYI2w== In November 2022, I was appointed by the Court in the above-referenced matter as Independent Monitor. See Dkt. Nos. 193 and 194. By Order dated Mar...

I've never been involved in training a dog as a pet, let alone as a bird dog. But I have an idea that it takes patience and more than a single afternoon. And maybe you start the training before bringing him along on a group hunt. Also, if you have an aggressive untrained dog, it seems like a good id...

Josh Kovensky is back at the courthouse in Lower Manhattan this morning and, while we likely won’t have a liveblog today, you can expect some longer dispatches from him as the proceedings move forward, identifying big themes in the trial as well as bringing us breaking news.
