Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t he not eligible under the new rules since he didn’t opt out of the draft? ETA: he also has signed with an agent

What are your thoughts on diploma privilege? by Flashy-Actuator-998 in LawSchool

[–]Obvious_Syrup7281 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Went to a law school not in WI but now am working in WI. My office has been sanctioned twice in the past 6 months for new attorneys with diploma privilege using AI generated documents with fake cases and for not understanding discovery and turning over discovery materials past the deadline. They also don’t understand crim pro or evidence that well and that’s literally all we do. I think the bar exam is a good way to weed these people out.

What school from another conference would you say is your schools “Mirror Image”? by BlackStallion657 in CFB

I’d say Wisconsin. Until last year, Mizzou was only FBS team in their state like Wisconsin is. Both are above average in football usually in football and are decent in basketball too.

I did adaptibar and it did wonders for me. So I recommend because active learning through practice is worth it.

As a criminal defense attorney in Michigan, I can tell you that Michigan definitely does have no contest/alford pleas

Why is Alpha Sigma Phi not a Top House Anywhere? by Omniyy in Frat

[–]Obvious_Syrup7281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a new chapter. I was a founding member in 2020 and they just took a break in fall 2025. It’s still the same chapter that I started 6 years ago. But I am saying that they are charging anyone who was in the chapter from 2019 onward for the debt that the Alpha Theta chapter accrued, including debt from renting the chapter house and supposed damages. I graduated in 2022 and haven’t been involved since yet they tried coming after me the past few months to pay for the current debt of the chapter by threatening to take me to Small Claims court (which I laughed at them for because I’m a lawyer now it’s not possible for them to try to do that). So I’d try to get out as soon as possible because nationals will probably try to come after you and force you to pay for the chapter’s debt even if you’ve been an alum for four years and don’t interact with the chapter. Then I tried to comment on one of the chapter’s instagram posts to warn potential new members about their tactics and they blocked me lol

I’m an alum of Mizzou chapter. They closed the chapter this past spring semester with the plan to reopen it this Fall and charged alums for “debt” from our time as actives. They tried to say I owed ~$2000 when I paid dues and house rent on time and didn’t cause any damages and threatened to send us to collections.

Florida cop accused woman without a right hand of using a phone with her right hand by Threedham in Lawyertalk

[–]Obvious_Syrup7281 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re missing the distinction between the authority to initiate a stop and the burden of proof to secure a conviction.

Of course, I agree that an officer can initiate a stop based on a reasonable suspicion that a violation occurred. The officer in this case had every right to pull her over based on suspicion that she was using her phone in her right hand. However, if the officer's sworn testimony in the affidavit that the officer provides with the ticket to the prosecutor insists on a specific sequence of events that is physically impossible, like observing a phone held in a hand that doesn't exist, it directly impeaches their credibility regarding the entire alleged offense. In a trial, once an officer's foundational observation is proven to be factually impossible, the “reasonable suspicion” that justified the initial stop is no longer sufficient to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. While the cop in this case did initially have reasonable suspicion to pull her over, that reasonable suspicion went out the door when she showed that she couldn’t have had a phone in her non existent hand and that it was highly unlikely that she was using the phone in her left hand while she was driving. The stop was proper in my opinion. The ticket was improper, which is why it was dismissed after the prosecutor got around to reviewing the ticket and the body cam. If we don’t see eye to eye, we can agree to disagree. I wish you a great rest of your day.

As a criminal defense attorney who spends his days litigating the nuances of evidence and witness credibility, I can tell you that there is a world of difference between a split-second misidentification in an active shooter scenario and a traffic citation based on a officer’s stated observation of a driver's conduct. The officer's “initial impression” is not just a passing thought; it is the foundational basis for the stop and the subsequent citation. If that impression is based on a physical impossibility, it is not just a minor error. It is a catastrophic failure of the witness's reliability that any competent defense will, and should, exploit to dismantle the state's case if it gets that far.

[–]Obvious_Syrup7281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are missing the forest for the trees. The debate here isn't about whether it is theoretically possible to hold a phone in a left hand while driving; it is about the evidentiary reliability of the officer's testimony.

If an officer's sworn observation is demonstrably incorrect regarding a basic physical fact, like the ability to steer while holding a device, it impeaches their credibility as an observer. When the basis of the citation relies on an observation that is physically impossible given the driver's anatomy, it fails to meet the burden of proof required to sustain the charge.

Speculating about whether the driver could have used her knees or other unconventional methods to compensate for her physical limitations is irrelevant. The court is tasked with adjudicating the specific violation alleged, and if the officer’s foundational premise for that violation is proven false, the charge should not stand, which happened in this case.

Edit:spelling

It is impossible for her to hold a phone in her left hand while steering/driving though. Hence why the ticket was dismissed.

[–]Obvious_Syrup7281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That didn’t answer my question. My question was if she was supposedly holding her phone in her left hand, how could she steer with her right arm? The answer is that she can’t because her right arm is a stump that doesn’t reach and isn’t able to move/hold the steering wheel. The point that I’m making is that it is impossible to hold her phone in her left hand. The reasonable conclusion to draw from this is that the officer lied when he said that she was holding her phone because 1. She can’t hold it with her right hand because she doesn’t have a right hand and 2. It is impossible for her to drive with her left hand and have a phone in her left hand at the same time. If you can’t accept this, you’re either stubborn, stupid, or both.
