  1. No One Dies Lying

    On the twenty-second of May, 1929, at Fort Riley, Kansas, a woman named Zenana Shepard sent her nurse to a closet for a bottle of bootleg whiskey. She said the liquor had a strange smell and a strange taste, and she asked whether enough remained in the bottle to test it for poison. Then she said the sentence that would outlive her by four years and travel all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States: "Dr. Shepard has poisoned me." The doctor was her husband, Charles A. Shepard, a major in the Army medical corps, and the government would later argue he had salted that whiskey with bichloride of mercury because he loved a woman named Grace Brandon and his wife declined to divorce him. Zenana Shepard died on the fifteenth of June. Her husband was convicted of her murder, and her sentence, the spoken one, did much of the convicting. […]

  4. A quotation from Horace

    To go on with my advice (that is, supposing
    You need advice from me): Be careful about
    The things you say and the people to whom you say them.
    Avoid the man who asks too many questions.
    No question but he’ll be a teller of tales;
    An ear that eager can’t keep a secret for long,
    And once a word slips out it won’t come back.
     
    [Protinus ut moneam (si quid monitoris eges tu)
    quid de quoque viro et cui dicas, saepe videto,
    percontatorem fugito: nam garrulus idem est,
    nec retinent patulae commissa fideliter aures,
    et semel emissum volat irrevocabile verbum.]

    Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 18 “To Lollius,” l. 67ff (1.18.67-71) (20 BC) [tr. Ferry (2001)]

  13. The questioning by #GymJordan about #CassidyHutchinson was made-for-TV drama.

    #JackSmith didn’t need to characterize whether he “thought” Hutchinson was a liar.

    Her testimony was #hearsay. Hearsay does not hold up in #court. That’s all he had to say.

    Unfortunately Jordan actually found a way to politicize Smith’s measured response that he hadn’t made a final decision on a witness list.

    Quick #hearsay explainer.

    Generally, admissions against your interest are admissible in criminal court. Statements in support of your interests are NOT admissible. So, only the statements about how you are guilty are presented to the court. Your statements of your innocence are not presented unless you testify. And, most people should not testify no matter how innocent, as a good prosecutor can usually make you sound guilty.

    Very few people can resist saying malicious things about their acquaintances, and even on occasion about their friends; yet when people hear that anything has been said against themselves, they are filled with indignant amazement.

    As a born never again
    #incarceration of the #Jains of #olde, I have been involved in many dialects of mystification.

    1. Brought up a drowned/baptised Cat-alcoholic teetotaller from a

    Somehow, as you may know, By the Grace of
    #Almighty COD, these interests drove me #insane, #woke and #empathic, in no particular order.

    Obviously I eventually had to order the chaos. Joined several orderings to sort my life and laff out. I did and can now re-veil and

    In other words, if you are

    “I think it’s relevant,” Justice #Merchan says, but he hasn’t decided if he’ll allow it. He says he wants to research defense argument that it’s #hearsay.

    Prosecution argues the #evidence isn’t hearsay because an earlier expert witness laid the foundation to show it to jurors.

    The evidence goes toward rebutting #Blanche’s argument that #MichaelCohen lied about speaking to #Trump on 24 Oct.
    Obviously the defense wants to keep this piece of evidence from the jury.
