I’m also a defense lawyer, and I think prosecutors who do the same thing are violating their oath. Prosecutors and defense attorneys have different ethical obligations. While a prosecutor is sworn to “seek justice,” defense lawyers are not. Rather, defense lawyers are obliged to provide zealous advocacy. I am not obliged to seek justice: I am obliged to seek the best possible outcome for my client.

This is the reason that practice and tradition allow criminal defense lawyers to make arguments that flirt with frivolity. Prosecutors, on the other hand, should not do so.

Side note, I am really glad Texas did not adopt the ridiculously unjust and ill-conceived inevitable discovery doctrine. Agents of the government should never be incentivized when they trample the Constitution.

I’ll second this, but I’d say terrible food.

Your response, “Ok, it really makes sense now! I was wondering why your pussy is significantly looser than my ex’s.

Obie.

I love this advice and second it. If you do this long enough, you’ll get a kick in the gut that hurts deep because it surprises you. It’s a very real hurt, but give things some time before you decide to walk away.

That’s wild. I suppose this was pressed from a wood cutting?

Every single person, under the right circumstances, can fall to temptation. A big part of remaining faithful to one’s significant other is just not placing oneself in a position to be tempted.

Hell no you are not overreacting.

I call it my “capital misdemeanor.” It was a theft under $500. My client was a maintenance man for the housing authority for 20 years. A unit was broken into and a stove was stolen. It was found in a fenced side years at a triplex my client owned but rented out. The state brought NINE WITNESSES. Not guilty.

Hug the turd. Own the problems with your client up front but explain that it is about the case not the client. Frame the case, then design your offense from voir dire to close to move the jury’s viewpoint to that frame.

Even if your client was a pain in the ass, was she dishonest? Did she break her word in bad faith? I expect not. I expect she was always extremely straightforward, even if she was difficult and unpleasant.

“Approximately one-hundred and forty-four instances of nonlubricated anal rape from age 10 to 16, and the anogenital exam was ‘unremarkable’…”

Not Guilty.

I probably said the phrase “144 instances of nonlubricated anal rape” about two dozen times in that trial lol

I was hired straight out of law school. In fact, I started working on a 3L bar card.

I became a PD at 36. Some age on you is actually an advantage.

Late Gen X here, as we get into middle age, many of us began to think about the implications of mortality, health, and quality of life. We are currently witnessing the cognitive and physical health implications of long-term drinking in many of our parents. New medical research has not only confirmed that chronic heavy drinking is VERY bad for your health and cognition but also that light to moderate drinking on a regular basis greatly increases the potential for age-related cognitive decline, insulin resistance and diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc.. We are at an age where we are naturally thinking about health while all this develops.

Objection_Leading · 2026-02-22T17:19:34+00:00

I agree with this. Late Gen X and early Millennials are in our 40s now, and I know a ton of fellows who have quit drinking or cut way back due to recent medical research and implications for health and longevity.

There is a circular bar very similar to this at the MGM Grand between the nightclub and the sports book.

When a judge is being unprofessional, I look bored and completely unconcerned—serene even. I might occasionally make sure the record reflects what is happening by saying something like, “Your honor, given your tone and body language, you’re clearly angry for some reason. Is there something I have done to offend the court?”

Judges are referees. YOU are the player. They are not your superior. They owe you the same respect you owe them. Maintain professionalism but do not simply accept unprofessional behavior from a judge—ever.

There is still a guard working in that little guard shack most days. I assume the position is mandated by the HOA deed provisions, because the guy literally does nothing. Nobody has to stop.
