I have a client I’ve known and worked with on and off for 4 years, since he was 18. He now has two very serious cases but doesn’t fully grasp how serious they are and it just breaks my heart. He’s a sweet kid who’s had a tough life and tbh I just want to hug him.

Something that happens in at least my county in Maryland is that a commissioner, who is considered a judicial officer, can find no probable cause for charges but the state can still pursue the charges and the client(s) doesn’t/don’t get probable cause hearings.

Saw Ragtime @LCTheater and I’m not sure a piece of theater has ever moved me more. Not just the acting, but the lighting, the staging, all of it. Beautiful. Cried for almost the whole time.

Maryland changed its case search and record portal and it is so much worse and so much slower than the old versions.

Step 1: tell the state you’re electing a jury trial
Step 2: state tells you, oops, actually, our primary officer is unavailable
Step 3: oppose their postponement
Step 4: win that opposition??
Step 5: profit (dismissal and very happy client)

PTO over, email notification back on 😞

Turned off my work gmail notifications to actually disconnect from work on my time off

Listening to Southwest gate agents beg people to gate check bags is hilarious and feels like corporate karma given you used to get a free bag.

I’m off of work this week and attending QuiltCon (a convention for quilters and sewers and lovers of fabric). Today mom asked me what the Supreme Court did today. And I had no idea. And that made me happy. I’m disconnecting and basking in my hobbies and some whimsy.

@alittleleader We send office-wide emails when someone gets a not guilty and I love when I get to send one.

I’m at the airport and people are going through security like it’s their first day on earth

@BarExamTutor Every time I have an awful day I’m like, shoulda gone to pastry school 😂

Cooking degree > law degree. Law degree doesn’t come with sandwiches.

Sandwich day for Garde Manger class at community college culinary school. 8 different sandwich from scratch right incl bread prepped earlier this week. I was assigned Waldorf chicken salad on a kaiser roll with celery seed mayo, served up party platter style. #twittersupperclub

I spend a ridiculous amount of time waiting for the Department of Corrections to transport my clients to court.

Good morning from court where I am apparently crushing the game in two different shoes.

@am_yers One time I was doing a DUI plea for a client with a prior DUI in the late 80s. I was like, your honor that’s older than me.
English
@am_yers I got the flu just after Christmas and have basically been sick since. It’s awful. Health feels elusive.
English
My decongestant is not decongesting me 😫 I’ve almost constantly been sick the last 5 weeks and health feels elusive at this point.

People keep asking what that man was doing "at the scene". Do y'all not realize the "scene" of ICE operations in Minneapolis are literally our homes and local neighborhoods and businesses? Are we not supposed to live?
English
People are probably upset because ICE agents have killed two people and detained literal children but sure let’s feel bad for the modern-day gestapo.

When I was in Minneapolis, I heard a number of crazy stories. But near the top of the list: A couple of off duty ICE and CBP officers were going to dinner in Minneapolis. They were doxed and their location revealed, and the restaurant was then mobbed. The officers were locked in the restaurant, and local police refused to respond to their pleas for help (as they've been directed by local authorities). Eventually, their fellow federal agents came to their aid. This is just a taste of what's happening in Minneapolis because state and local officials refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement. They have created the chaos so they can have moments like yesterday, where someone tragically dies and politicians get to grandstand about the evils of enforcing the border. The solution is staring everyone in the face. I hope authorities in Minneapolis stop this madness.

Now you can see how easy it is for LEO to lie to your faces when there is undeniable evidence to the contrary being circulated 24/7 to your TVs and your phones.
Now just imagine how easy it is for them to lie when there isn’t.
