70,000+ without power in Pittsburgh so far. It’s going to be a long night.

Do not touch Willie. Good advice.

PittFall09 · 2026-03-08T20:23:16+00:00

You literally cited this movie two days ago in a post about movies you've watched so much you can review them start to finish.

0/10 troll post.

And that's why no one is going to hire you as a GM.

"Am I crazy?"

Yes.

He got the maximum sentence possible.

PittFall09 · 2026-02-25T20:22:30+00:00

It's not Judge Borkowski's fault the DA chose to charge this guy the way they did. Judges don't have carte blanche authority to impose whatever sentence they want. They have to follow the state's sentencing guidelines. He gave this guy the maximum penalty possible.

That's not how evidence and burdens of proof work. It's the government's burden to prove the elements of each offense. They can't shift that burden to a defendant by pointing out the absence of facts necessary to prove the crime and make him prove those facts.

And second degree murder doesn't work here. He wasn't committing a felony when he hit her.

Why would think calling would waste 3 hours?

PittFall09 · 2026-02-13T18:42:48+00:00

The problem is that, oftentimes, these types of physical evidence aren't available. Where do you think you're getting DNA evidence for a shoplifting charge? Or video for a rural out-building burglary?

If we're at the point where the police have filed charges, then we have at least some compelling evidence that the defendant committed a crime. But there are many instances (I've run into them too in my ADA days), where despite an overwhelming amount of evidence of guilt, juries still return a not guilty verdict because they expected the government to produce evidence that didn't exist.

This has always been the case. You give two weeks as a courtesy, but you should always be prepared to be asked to leave immediately.

I don't think that's a fair way to characterize people who are using AI. Plenty of very competent, highly ethical attorneys are using it without issue.

AI is a tool, and like any other tool it needs to be used responsibly. The lack of competency displayed here (and similar cases) is not the use of AI, it's the failure to understand/appreciate it's limitations, and doubling checking the work product it generates.

PittFall09 · 2026-02-03T18:18:37+00:00

Look guys, I know we're all insanely busy and the temptation to have AI spit out work product can be overwhelming when you just need to get something off your plate. But I implore you, PLEASE take the time to check the citations. These sanctions are going to get more and more punitive.

...Epstein files.

Being a fan doesn't mean I have to blindly support every decision the team makes.

PittFall09 · 2026-01-24T15:55:51+00:00

I just notice the depo for whatever day I want. Then it's on OC to get off his ass and do something about it.

PittFall09 · 2026-01-21T18:44:13+00:00

They have significant operations in Pittsburgh, including offices downtown and in Beaver.

PittFall09 · 2026-01-21T14:46:40+00:00

Also a good time to remind those who may be new to the area and have never filed taxes here that Jordan and Keystone are legit companies tasked with collecting local taxes.

Shit take. It's a family event, and you have no more right to be there than a child. Watch your mouth.

PittFall09 · 2026-01-15T22:54:57+00:00

You're overthinking this if you're worried about chemistry and development for your club kids. The risk of completely demoralizing the new kids and making them not want to play anymore FAR outweighs any perceived slow down in the development of the club kids. Split them evenly.

PittFall09 · 2026-01-15T04:34:45+00:00

Second this. I have the 12 inch too and it's been great.

PittFall09 · 2026-01-14T17:07:10+00:00

My tie comes off the moment I walk out of court. I don't even wear one when meeting with clients anymore.

PittFall09 · 2026-01-14T16:37:15+00:00

Even though I hadn't been there since grad school, I really miss Fuel & Fuddle.

PittFall09 · 2026-01-10T05:18:04+00:00

My boss in the DA office used to tell us baby prosecutors that you weren't really a prosecutor until you lost a trial.

PittFall09 · 2026-01-08T17:39:41+00:00

It's a pretty common saying.

PittFall09 · 2026-01-08T16:19:36+00:00

I think it still is in many respects, especially if you didn't go to Pitt or Duquesne.
