While practicing, I served on two juries. One civil and one criminal. Two different judicial districts. As a side note, I found them to be very educational in seeing a trial from that position, knowing nothing at the beginning and piecing it together. It opened my eyes and I changed some of my trial...

How was this travesty revealed? What's the back story? I am happy as hell this is happening, but why this one, why at this time? Why were these two gentlemen believed by someone/entity as opposed to all the others who have not been belueved?

Fingers crossed that Wednesday is really Wednesday and not Wednesdayish several weeks from now. And to get settled in, priceless!

The fact that TFG doesn't want to put up the totality of his cash (400 million) doesn't mean he doesn't have it. Businesses need cash and a business the size of his (whether ownership or licensing or whatever new fangled idea he comes up with especially if it's all a house of cards) needs a lot of c...

I can only answer using my knowledge of Oregon law, but the answer there is the bonding company is on the hook for the entirety of the bond amount which, unsurprisingly, is the amount of the judgment, interests and costs. (And the Court is not interested in messing up their docket owing to a self ow...

what a fascinating life and what great adventures she had. I wish her well in the next dimension, where ever it is.

I think it all comes down to money. If the polls show a race at 55/45, neither side spends. (I had a friend running for Congress and was doing well, however, the R's enticed the old Congressman to come out of retirement and run since the current one was under a criminal investigation, money to my fr...

Yeah! All three looking great!

I agree with all of the above about seeking appellate counsel. Question for those who have practiced in the federal appellate courts, are the local rules of each district substantially different or is there one set of rules for all districts?

I read that Jean Carroll's friend, on cross, had texted that Jean was a narcissist.and I thought, hmmmmm, that's how he will be taken down, narcissist versus narcissist, both doubling down every time. Her certainly not getting tired because this is feeding her needs and he is running away. I like it.

I think they are going with getting TFG the sympathy vote, that his lawyer is so incompetent that it shouldn't be held against him, ergo, no damages. A juruy pardon, so to speak. I keep hearing these huge damage figures and think, watch out, this is how you lose. Juries be crazee, that's why cases s...

I liked #9, Natalie Portman and #32, Brie Larson, although this is not a dress to be sat on, one wrinkle, disaster. I agree that #100 was a mess. What I thought was so interesting/weird is why so many of these people, who generally photograph well looked so weird, almost grimacing, weird angles, fro...

Sounds like a well thought out decision by you. Take care of yourself.

that news is really, really sad. His comments and retorts were always well thought out, pithy, and usually very funny. Always enjoyed reading his view on everything.

2 quick points which may be applicable here. 1. From my olden days of state appeals, the cost of the bond was the same as the judgment amount unless it was a cost bond. Only by putting up all the money would a stay be imposed on collection. 2. Bankruptcy (Chapter 7) is pretty useless here except to ...

and, to top it off :

Can he or any other god fearing human sue her under that draconian texas civil law for damages? Take her other kids due to her abuse of the fetus? There are a multitude of ways to punish her ...and every other woman in Texas to keep them in line. I assume the lawyer will be sued also, maybe take her...

So sorry to hear even though it was, and is going to happen to all of us. Get thru your days as best you can. Hopefully you will be able to start remembering the fun times over the years and remember the sweet times even . Please take care.

I hope you find solace today and every day while wending yourself through these trying days. I am not sure if life ever gets easier sometimes or we just become accustomed to the new direction and trials.

An amazing tale! I always enjoy your clever comments, but this one, WOW! I hope you get better quickly. As a side comment and hopefully useful, my husband requires a walker and because they are set so low, it was forcing him to become almost a hunchback and lose, what little, core strength he had le...

How about The Trump merchandise was stollen from the bazar.

Just finished reading the notes of Don Jr.'s testimony today. Apparently the judge is allowing in anything the defendant wants to introduce, which is mostly irrelevant testimony and documents. My experience in Judge trials is when you are winning every argument and every document comes in, you have ...
