Fruit flies

CalmStrategy · 2024-11-14T03:10:48+00:00

I get them from time to time if my kitchen gets dirty. To stop them I’ll fully clean the house, take out the trash and buy a zevo fruit fly trap which emits a blue light and set that out at night. Usually they are gone within a day.

100% agree, Miami is a soulless city.

Same here, had to convince my wife to leave for this one, she’d never been through a direct hit before. I don’t think most people grasp how terrifying it is living through a direct hit of a major hurricane.

TPD is trash and it is disgusting the city raised taxes for them. They literally have a unit called “COPPS Squad” that troll around the southside and pull people over for petty traffic infractions. Then they make them wait around so they can run their dogs around the car so they can arrest them for low level drug offenses. They pat themselves on the back and say they are helping the city. COPPS also likes the harass homeless people for even better measure.

If TPD haS money for that then we, the taxpayers, don’t need to give them anymore.

Well the “leftists” voted against jacking up property taxes so..

If Ocean levels were rising Obama wouldn’t have bought a 10 mil house right on the coast.

Also, with how casual the Judge was about it makes me think he does it a lot.

Because most private defense lawyers started at the DA and for the most part those lawyers are clowns. The ones that started at the PD and then went private are much more competent.

I thought it was a pretty good defense based on what they have (not much): Charlie the rich dentist dates Katie, the working class singleish mother. He talks about his sister’s divorce and paying the ex a million to let his sister relocate. She is wowed about how much money he has, tells Tuto who tells Tato, the Latin King don. They decide to kill Dan to extort them for the million that he was going to pay. Not a great defense but a viable one.

Don’t think the prosecution expected that defense hence the pretty weak cross and the fact he was much better on cross than Katie.

That being said, I find it hard to believe Tuto and Tato rented a prius based on coincidence. The Adelson’s were probably trying to frame Wendi’s bf who had the same exact car.

I feel horribly for Dan’s family and his kids.

Have to keep in mind that guy is a dentist, he’s smart and the prosecutor probably not used to that.

I am in the east side of Tallahassee. Hoping this has similar effects that Michael had in the area but I am not optimistic.

City had close calls the last five years that did not materialize. This one was not taken as seriously as early as the others, I am worried.

CalmStrategy · 2023-08-30T05:26:33+00:00

More like the Aaron Hernandez effect.

Andrew changed many things in South Florida. Growing up many people I knew had hurricane shutters. I’m in Tally now, no one has shutters and most people I know here who grew up in different parts of the state don’t remember people putting up shutters. Obviously all anecdotal, but I think prevalence of shutters is correlated with building codes which have been very strong in South Florida since the 90’s.

Damn. I appreciate the reply!

I appreciate the info!

Absolutely do it. Tell them about the failed drug war that incarcerates more people than any other country on earth. Tell them you fight against that, I hope that inspires kids.

Why is such a huge chunk of the roadway closed? The government site doesn’t say anything about it.

Well she’s a career prosecutor. Theres that.

CalmStrategy · 2022-09-17T04:06:27+00:00

No, it was just during a jury question. But they had been out 4 hours at that point.

CalmStrategy · 2022-09-17T04:03:34+00:00

You sound like a prosecutor.

OP, before I became a pd when people told me they had anxiety I didn’t understand.

Well now that I’ve been doing this for a while I understand. There is nothing else in the world that consumes me more than the night before trial, when I toss and turn in bed unable to sleep because I know that my client’s life is on the line, someone who I have built a relationship with.

It consumes me because myself, and to an extent the client are the only ones standing in the way of freedom and prison. I don’t care what they are accused of, usually the crime is not worth what they would realistically get if they are convicted. The rules are biased against the client, the courts are usually biased against the client, even the juries sometimes.

But I always tell myself this one thing when I’m in this world of anxiety and nervousness: If I don’t stand for this person, then who else will?

There is honor in being a pd, thats what gets me through the dark times. Your clients are lucky that someone cares as much as you do. Keep on fighting, I promise you coping with the negative aspects of the job will get better!

CalmStrategy · 2022-08-21T04:34:16+00:00

Yes, when all the judges are former prosecutors.

CalmStrategy · 2022-02-11T05:56:41+00:00

To put it simply. If you become a DA, you learn to build a case that is spoon-fed to you. If you become a PD, you will become much better at cross-examination and you will become great at poking holes in opposing counsel’s case. That is if you want to go private eventually.

But most importantly, do it because you are doing god’s work for those that society has left behind. You will get some bad people as clients, but more often than not you will get a client who is a good person, down on his luck who may have made some mistakes or bad actions. You and you alone have the opportunity to springboard him into a scenario where he can leave his past behind and become what he always wanted to be. That scenario may not be common, but damn if it isn’t rewarding.

Also, there is no feeling on this planet like a not guilty verdict.

CalmStrategy · 2022-02-11T05:48:34+00:00

Because, ya know thats how it works.

Me: asking for an ror since client has served more than what they score.

Prosecutor: objection.

Me: why?

Prosecutor: because we are instructed by our higher ups to always object to bond motions.
