@cdarwin@c.imLawyers for Luigi Mangione asked a New York federal judge Saturday to dismiss some criminal charges,
including the only count for which he could face the death penalty,
from a federal indictment brought against him in the December assassination of UnitedHealthcare’s chief executive.
In papers filed in Manhattan federal court, the lawyers said prosecutors should also be prevented from using at trial his statements to law enforcement officers and his backpack where a gun and …

@karlauerbach@sfba.socialColor me confused - I see that el cheeto's dog, Lindsey Halligan, is listed as a lawyer in Virginia.
Yet, when go to the Virginia bar website and search for her in their lists of Virginia attorneys I get zero hits.
Huh?
The page below says that she is a member of the Virginia Bar, but the Virginia Bar seems not to know who she is?
Am I fat fingering something on the Virginia bar's attorney search site?
@cdarwin@c.imTrump’s intervention has been widely condemned as an authoritarian power grab
that undermines the autonomy of Washington’s DC local government
and seeks to distract attention from political problems such as the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Propaganda Minister Karoline Leavitt told reporters,
“this is only the beginning.
Over the course of the next month,
the Trump administration will relentlessly pursue and arrest

#indictment comes 2 months after #FBI agents found documents labeled “confidential”in Bolton's Washington, DC office that referenced WMDs, unsealed court records show. It was not immediately clear whether the charges prosecutors would seek were related to those documents.
If the #GrandJury decides to indict #JohnBolton [it will, ham sandwich & all], it would mark the 3rd time in recent weeks that the #DOJ has secured #criminal charges against one of #Trump's critics.

@cdarwin@c.imAfter the Supreme Court declared Donald Trump largely immune from prosecution
for turning the office of the presidency into a criminal enterprise,
-- and the nation’s voters then chose to reinstall the freshly convicted felon in the White House,
who could have predicted he would use his office to punish the law abiding and protect the corrupt?
In fact, both the scale and audaciousness of Trump’s corruption,
and of his regime’s assault on the criminal justice sy…
@karlauerbach@sfba.socialIf I were teaching a Con Law or Criminal Procedure class I would put up this video and ask the students to identify how many Constitutional violations are occurring.
(The first one to hit me was the violation, right at the start of the video of the 5th amendment's right of non self-incrimination.)

@karlauerbach@sfba.socialI have long been opposed to Jury Nullification. However, I recognize that it happens.
(I was a juror once in an extremely clear cut criminal case where one of the other jurors clearly did not want to besmirch the defendant and wanted to punish the homosexual victim, so she caused us become a "hung jury.". The other eleven of us were very angry at her clear, but successful, nullification of the law.)
Today my reluctance to support jury nullification has diminished, eve…
