P&E comment : Like many of the names of Bills introduced in Congress, RealityCheck’s statements and so called facts that he has proffered in his support of Team Obama has nothing to do with the insinuations of his user ID name. It is just a social engineering tactic. As I recall he’s a trained s...

I was surprised when Engoron let him wander in and out of the courtroom, and to leave a couple of minutes early at the end of the day, with Engoron still at the bench. Are defendants allowed to do that in civil court? Kept meaning to ask. Unless ordered by the judge, no party is compelled to attend...

No problem: Many observers do not work the first full day after it starts; hence the discussion about Tuesday.

Passover. Starts on Monday at sundown.

And the judge is correct: it isn't a recognized court holiday.

We know that if the things were opposite, a GOP senate would dismiss a similar impeachment against a Trump official. They would state that the Constitution does not say the Senate must conduct a trial only that the Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments. IIRC, concerning the previous's s...

Now, they get to go on Fox News and the website formerly known as Twitter and whine that the evil libs stood in the way of justice and the courageous Republicans Trumpistas who wanted only to return to constitutional goverment. Yeah, but they wanted to make those whines on the Senate floor as well....

You know, you've been calling that guy a jerk for years. "Some jerk" was my Twitter handle, until I got bored with it. (Everyone thought they were soooooo clever by saying, "Your name fits." :roll: :yawn: .) And Rondeau keeps baning me :bag: , so I don't bother referring to my c...

I saw that; I just didn’t know if they also plans to use them for some other Rule 404 purpose. This is what's on the second page: The People's February 22, 2024 motions in limine already disclosed the misconduct and uncharged criminal acts which the People intend to use at trial as substantive proo...

It’s not enough to identify the prior bad acts; the prosecution also has to explain the relevance (motive, absence of mistake, intent, etc.) The notice says that, if the defendant testifies, it will use these acts to impeach his credibility. Impeaching a witness's credibility always is relevant (su...

Miller said "in our lifetimes." I don't who this nebulous "our" refers to, but Miller was born in 1985, well after the Kennedy administration.

You guys? Anybody think they'd make a great juror in this one? Great ... for whom ? Obviously, "justice," yes; sure. But "good" jurors are routinely bumped by one side or the other due to their perceived ability to "harm" the desired outcome. Engineers, for example. Yo...

"They" filed charges where the defendant committed those crimes.

Those rat bastards!

Too, also I was curious about the phrasing “guilty defendants”. I may be picking nits, but is that a thing in lawyerland? I shudder at attempting to read Giuliani's pickled brain, but I infer he's referring to "defendants awaiting sentencing" (yaknow, those already found guilty). Or, simp...
