Big Law Firm Gets Sued in MD; Files Competing Suit in NY - Gets $1 Million Sanction!
มุมมอง 7144 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
It truly amazes me how dumb some lawyers can be when they sue other lawyers. It's hard to believe that somebody that handled class action law suits would make the kind of mistake that was made here. They essentially tried to avoid the jurisdiction of the Maryland court by asking the New York Court to order the defendants in that case (who were the plaintiffs in MD) to drop their lawsuit which h...

Domestic Violence is Criminal. Here are Some Thoughts and Strategies About it.
มุมมอง 2359 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Every day, men and women all over the United States suffer from domestic violence. It doesn't matter whether a man is beating a woman, or a woman is beating a man, domestic violence is wrong. If the police are called, someone is likely going to jail. In some cases, domestic violence can be a misdemeanor. In others, it can be a felony. In either instance, a conviction will wind up with a loss of...

YSL - A Monumental Fail For the Fulton County Prosecutor (and a win for due process)
มุมมอง 2.8K12 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Jeffrey Williams stands convicted in his YSL case, but he walked out of jail, a free man principally because of the ineptitude and incompetence of the Fulton County prosecutors office. This postmortem examination of this part of the YSL case, is my opinion and my opinion only. I'd love to know if you agree or disagree.

Melody Farris Trial Closing Analysis: Both sides get high marks.
มุมมอง 97221 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
This is one of the better closing arguments I've covered. I thought both sides were equal to the task, and I think this is going to be a fairly lengthy deliberation, but, usually when I make predictions the jury comes back and proves me wrong, so I'm leaving this one to the jury.
Melody Farris Closing Arguments Today - Did The State Prove Its Case?
มุมมอง 1.1Kวันที่ผ่านมา
I would rate the chance of conviction here about 65% given the damaging character evidence that came in. But I do think there is a chance they will acquit based on the fact that the state can't prove he was shot or killed by Melody. We will just have to see if the jury thinks the case has been proved.

    She has zero insight into how others perceive her. None whatsoever. She thinks she is being really clever with this story that paints Jorge out to be badly behaved pet dog. However the jury knew straight away that this story was pure nonsense. I bet on the night of her testimony she was full of self praise and making plans about her big press interview when she is acquitted. Even when the jury came back after 1 hour 25 minutes Sarah would have been thinking "Here we go, Boone wins again"

    My home insurance is OK with me running a business, provided that I don’t have people on the premises. With the rise of the gig economy, people have to be careful that their car insurance covers business use. Making money on the weekends might be great, but not if you rear end someone’s Mercedes and spend the next 20 years paying off the debt.

    I think Jorge was dead before she went to bed. I think she called her ex husband immediately but he ignored her call so she went to bed and called him after she cleaned the house and set the scene in her house to support her bullshit story. IMHO it’s 1st degree murder but 2nd degree is easier to prosecute.

    I got rid of USAA because they wouldn’t give me my deductible from a not at fault accident. They couldn’t get a hold of the other party because she was dodging service, so they refused to pay out my deductible because they couldn’t recoup it from the at fault party. It was literally 2 month’s worth of insurance payments and they refused to budge on it, so they lost me as a customer and I took my friends and family with me.

    Tony, excellent topic. My wife and I moved into a townhome for retirement, I got insurance and all was well but in fact it wasn’t. After some issues with HOA board members we elected a new HOA board. This board asked all of us to provide proof of homeowners insurance. I got a copy of my policy and found the agent had set up my policy like an apartment policy, only coverage on the inside vs. the full structure and we weren’t the only ones. I needed a full structure policy. I was underinsured by hundreds of thousands of dollars. I realized and later found out my old agent was barely phoning it in. Also choose the right agent who will ask the right questions.

    I'm being sued in NC (a state I've never been to) for publishing an obnoxious and well known business owner's federal conviction records from PACER. He has sued another kid in the action too, and now has sued him in Federal court and me in another court with substantially the same complaint (they are over 200 pages at this point). His attorney was previously disbarred for impersonating another attorney online. The legal system is has few protections in it for bad actors, at least for the average person who must hire multiple attorneys in many different jurisdictions.

    I thought that gary was shot in the basement because of the bullet with his dna on it. However..i was thinking the bullet only grazed him,maybe his arm or leg? but bullet did not stay in his body. Possible then she walked him to the burn pile..or drove him, at gunpoint.the tractor bucket(think it had a bucket) could have been used to push him in further. I believe the gun came from martha janes house and either rusty got it for her..or she helped herself. Martha jane testified that she had told melody about the gun.i believe rusty knew in advance she was going to do it..and had $$ flashing in his eyes

    I served as a juror for 3 trials in Georgia. I was the holdout on one of the trials resulting in a hung jury. When I heard Judge Cannon give the Allen charge I had a very strong reaction. It felt coercive, as if there was definitely not an option to remain hung. Yikes

    Doesn’t matter where he was killed in the house. Killed on the property is all that matters and the jury got it right. A lazy jury member will hold out or not consider the evidence. It’s basically asking the jurors in the minority opinion to evaluate their positions carefully. The jurors are reminded that whatever they do they should not violate their own conscience. Sometimes it’s about understanding what the evidence is demonstrating and not siding with your peers just because you feel pressured. This judge was within his right to use it.

    I strongly believe Gary was physically and mentally affected by the 'additive' Melody put in his food. REMEMBER that Gary made a video on 7/3/2018 showing the plate she threw and broke, calling a "minor temper tantrum" and said....the food was prepared by Melody and it probably was 'tainted' (not sure his exact word). He ended it saying, 'We'll soon see". .IMO, Gary's mental and physical state WAS AFFECTED because of what was 'added' to the food. This, IMO, made it easier for Melody to manipulate Gary and do what needed to be done so he took his last breath. ***Remember AFTER Gary paid for Chris's hotel room, Melody said, in so many words that it was the last straw....and she was going to end it.
