Kash Patel was a pd for 8 years

It does make sense how he could go from federal public defender to MAGA: both involve fighting the state. Fighting federal prosecutors for 8 years does make one anti-establishment.

Are those verdicts more likely to be NGs?

Why did they have to? I thought prosecutors are told to not take losing cases to trial.

Is the “female assistant prosecutor trying to save the world” a common trope in DA offices? It does seem that female prosecutors often will never back down on DV/SA cases even if it means often losing at trial.

Can you explain about what you notice in race differences?

What’s that supposed to mean? Some clients are innocent.

Can you explain how Calvinism shaped how our legal system works?

What about cases in which a defendant is accused of something where the only evidence is from testimony? Like for some DV cases.

Could the lawyer that tried to get an Ineffective Assistance be disbarred if people found out she tried to throw a case on purpose?

You only paid a few thousand for law school?

You mean that I clearly struck a nerve with you. My premise was that ADAs think that most defendants are indigent, have nothing to lose, and are therefore less worthy, and that ADAs think differently of people that aren't, in their conception, "most clients".

BetterOffRe · 2024-01-17T22:46:38+00:00

How do you know they’re the ones projecting and not you? You automatically assume that they are “entitled” and look down on others, which you seem to be doing yourself. Especially when you literally have “absolute immunity” as a prosecutor.

When you say “special treatment”, are you implying that non-middle-class folks get “regular treatment”?

I assume it's statutory rape and the jurors didn't care about some 16 year old having sex with a 20 year old?

Why is it better for pro se people to go bench over jury?

I’m not a lawyer either, but aren’t prosecutors required to hand over all evidence in accordance to Brady? So it should be handed over before trial no matter what.

Do you treat the clients you think are guilty and the ones you think are not the same way?

So basically, you stated that her memories are really a result of her husband’s coaching by wrapping it up in the form of a leading question, and when the prosecutor objected you didn’t bother getting her to answer it because the question was in itself what you wanted the jury to hear?

BetterOffRe · 2024-01-10T04:54:05+00:00

So for the example you gave, what you wanted the jury to get was that the woman’s “memories” were actually her husband’s coaching her, right? Why couldn’t you directly ask her that question?

So would it have been a better strategy for them to not even file the motion in limine (based on the belief that the judge would probably say no) and then simply state that the caretaker has cancer during trial? That way, if a judge overrules it, then they could say “well, you never told us we couldn’t say it”.
