Prosecutors on the defense, three-meals petition, the science of pepper spray, and other stories
Here's some hump day reading material for you on subjects Grits doesn't immediately have time to blog about:
Thanks for posting this. It's everything I need in one post. Great!
ReplyDeleteSo California PI lawyers are now fans of GFB? Lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou'd be surprised who reads this blog, 7:20. I always am.
ReplyDeleteWhy wouldn't California defense lawyers read this blog? Or any other defense lawyers for that matter. It's one of the few places you can get good, unbiased information about what is happening in the joke we all call the Texas Judicial System. I would never be surprised by the people who read it, but neither am I surprised by the number of idiots who choose to remain anonymous.
ReplyDelete"IDIOTS (emphasis mine) who choose to remain anonymous."
ReplyDeletePerhaps that's why they remain anonymous !!
For RSO Wife: I choose to remain anonymous for the opposite reason you set forth. I am not an idiot (exactly the opposite). I have a husband incarcerated. I have no doubt (paranoid as it sounds) that if it were noted who my husband is and where he is, there could be unfavorable consequences for him. Do you suggest I take that chance?
ReplyDeleteThey will retaliate against people incarcerated and anyone they feel like that is the TDCJ way. This entire criminal justice system has lost its integrity, ethics and morals. A parole board that answers to no one and politicians are bought and paid for. Hopefully the people will turn out to vote and send these clowns a message and vote them out of office. With a 32% voter turnout in the state of Texas I would not hold my breath though. Only 8% turned out this year for the constitutional amendments changes vote and this was special interest for the most part
ReplyDeleteWell it seems Americans love being taken for a ride, they keep voting republican and accusing hardworking Americans as socialists...ya ask for it, ya got it....these people will keep earning more money than you and your generation will ever earn despite having the same education and working even harder than these scumbags....well what can you say? It's a free country....
And those who would retaliate continue to do so for exactly the reasons you choose to be anonymous - because you are not standing up to them. They are bullies whose behaviour is allowed to continue by the silence of the opposition.
ReplyDeleteYou don't need to put your real name, just use an alias. And let THEM know that if retalliation happens, then they will feel the full force of your fury.
Prosecutors-they make my blood boil!
