    “Are You a Lawyer?” by Duane Anderson

    She asked if I was a lawyer
    because she said I looked like one,
    but I told her no,
    not knowing if I was just given
    a compliment or an insult, not knowing
    if I was standing at the doorstop
    of good versus evil?

    I should have returned the favor,
    and asked just how familiar
    was she with lawyers.
    Had she been jailed multiple times,
    requiring their talents to get her out?
    A question never asked, an answer never given,
    but life continued on for each of us.

  4. Three thoughts out of the #LuigiMangione #court #hearings...

    1) the #police clearly didn't take the #arrest seriously (they thought it was just a weirdo with a forged ID, possibly just harassing a homeless man), and botched the initial #investigation. This will be useful for his defense #lawyer.

    2) #Mangione giving police fake names and a fake #ID shows he either purposefully got himself arrested, or is very insane. It's also possible he was copying the actual #UnitedHealthcare #CEO #assassin, passing off the names and IDs he was known to have, getting caught with what looked like "evidence". Remember: lots of people sympathize with the shooter. All this could easily be his defense.

    3) The more we find out about how he got caught, the more I'm realizing how someone who does this might be able to avoid being caught, leaving the act to speak for itself, blending in with everyone else who sympathized, and creating plausible deniability it they are ever arrested.

    "We live in #InterestingTimes" indeed...

  5. In these troubled times, here is a rare bit of good news!

    "In a special initiative, #PenguinPress and the #PenguinRandomHouse Social Impact Team are partnering to print 2,000 copies of a unique softcover edition of THE JAILHOUSE LAWYER, exclusively for incarcerated readers. Recognizing that hardcovers are often prohibited in prisons so access to new books can take a year or more, this initiative aims to bridge that gap."

  6. Jennifer Rubin: The recommendation of Eastman’s #disbarment is a big deal — for tRump

    "A State Bar Court of California judge on Wednesday recommended stripping John Eastman, Donald Trump’s former #attorney, of his California law license. Eastman, mastermind of the former president’s scheme to overturn the 2020 election results by recruiting phony electors, is not the first ex-Trump lawyer to face discipline over election-related matters."

  7. Fmr #Trump atty #JohnEastman plans to appeal his #disbarment.

    His lawyer says it's unfair Eastman should have to fight #criminal charges in #Georgia w/o being able to earn money as a #lawyer to pay his #legal bills.

    This is like a convicted drug dealer saying it’s unfair he can no longer sell crack because he has to pay his lawyer.

    Ridiculous.

  8. #Trump #lawyer John Lauro, in arguing that he needs 2 years to prepare for the DC #federal #charges against his client, said there are 250 potential govt #witnesses “and counting” so far.
    #Lauro noted that figure doesn’t incl any potential #defense witnesses, & efforts by Trump’s legal team to conduct their own investigation.

  9. #Lauro argued that he needed ample time to review the #evidence & prepare a #defense for #Trump.
    
“This man’s liberty & life is at stake & he deserves an adequate representation,” Lauro said. “As an experienced defense #lawyer, we cannot do this in the time frame that the government has outlined.”
    #Chutkan replied: “I understand, Mr. Lauro but you are not going to get two more years. This case is not going to trial in 2026.”

  10. John Lauro, #attorney for #Trump, blasted the federal #prosecutors’ arguments for an earlier #TrialDate in DC as “absurd” & “unfair”.
    
“This is a request for a show trial, not a speedy trial. I’m sorry, your honor; for a federal prosecutor to suggest that we could go on trial in 4 months is not only absurd, it’s a violation of the oath to do justice” #Lauro fumed.

    As Lauro’s voice rose, Judge Tanya #Chutkan sought to calm him. “Let’s take the temperature down,” she twice advised the #lawyer.
