This one is very interesting. Massively more complex than the moron “pundits” are yakking about on TV. It’s not what it appears, trust me. They are painting with black and white paint, racist cops attacking innocent black man for no good reason. Seriously? My...

Is ‘Free Speech’ a Valid Defense to Trump’s New DC Indictment?
In a word, no. In two words, NO WAY. This is a political defense, being played out in the court of public opinion, a court in which no rules exist, no judges preside, no legal analysis is required. No. It’s simply talking heads trying to wash the gullible brains of...
It’s the Law, Stupid: The Sordid Story of Trump’s Superseding Indictment (i.e., How all of this legal stuff really works.)
There seems to be some debate about whether or not I am a Trump supporter. Nobody seems to understand it’s about the law, stupid, not one’s political leanings. I have represented every possible kind of person with every possible kind of political view, and it never...
The End of Critical Thinking
It’s sad, the end of critical thinking. Nobody thinks any more. They only react. Knee jerks. Yes, pun intended. When I read the comments to this blog, I am reminded of Animal Farm, by George Orwell, the guy who wrote 1984. He had a clue about the Future, let’s...
How I’d Defend Trump
I am seeing and hearing a ton of misinformation flying around on the airwaves. It’s scary how ignorant so many reporters and commentators are about how Federal Court works. As a lawyer who’s “been there, done that” I’d like to explain it, so that anyone who reads...
HOW TRIALS REALLY WORK, EVEN TRUMP’S
Imagine for one moment that you are falsely accused of committing a crime you did not commit. Imagine that someone made up horrific lies about you, claiming you did something that you simply did not do. Imagine that the person accusing you of these things that you did...
Man, They Really Murdaughed That Trial
I’ve been looking for a good pun, using ‘Murder’ and ‘Murdaugh’ since they synch so beautifully, but this is the best I could come up with. “They” refers to the lawyers. All of them, both sides, but especially the defense. I’m thinking “Murdaughing a Case” could...
Killer Robo-Cops? Or life-saving Tech? You decide.
You would think that someone like me, a defender of underdogs and the falsely accused (not to mention the United States Constitution), would be appalled by the proposed use of robots, capable of inflicting great bodily harm or death, by the San Francisco Police...
KYLE RITTENHOUSE IS NOT GUILTY
Got your attention? Kyle Rittenhouse is on trial for shooting and killing protestor/rioters (depending on your point of view; I consider them to be both) in Kenosha, Wisconsin during the riots last summer. He is claiming self-defense. This means that he must show by...
