If you aren’t enraged every single day you mustn’t be breathing or you’re just not someone who cares about anything but yourself.

I guess no consequences for Zimmerman and Rittenhouse were bellwether cases for a killing free for all in this country.

Another result of the mass media effort to propagate the police idea that our cities’ stores shelves are empty because of the masses of larcenists.

See, if you aren’t aiding and abetting crimes with and FOR your clients, then this isn’t a problem. I for one, DO NOT mirandize my clients… no need to.

Dershowitz: I have to now tell all my clients, I have to give Miranda warnings. What you tell me may no longer be secure because of what these judges are doing. I am serious. I have to give that warning to my clients now.

Instead of managing your office well and establishing processes that allow for easy collection and dissemination of evidence, Bronx DA Darcel Clark thinks it’s better to return to the days when DAs could just say “ready for trial” to stop the clock. cityandstateny.com/policy/20…

REMINDER: Bronx DA Darcel Clark was a judge when Kalief Browder was sitting at Rikers for years. She was one of the many judges that adjourned his case and kept him in. SHAMEFUL. cityandstateny.com/policy/20…

I spent the weekend in Boston with my best friend that I met in the 8th grade and I have to say, there is NOTHING that compares to a friendship that spans decades. Family isn’t just the people you’re genetically connected to.

I practiced criminal law in another jurisdiction. We got discovery as soon as it got to the DA. Why is turning over discovery in NY so onerous? That is the ONLY thing that needs to be addressed and solved. cityandstateny.com/policy/20…
