Interesting day on the expert witness side of the house. Learned that the new prosecutor has decided to drop a years-old criminal case against a police officer in a clearly justified furtive movement shooting in which I\u2019ve given both report and deposition for the defense. The case was originally brought by a Soros-funded prosecutor now no longer in office. What you\u2019ve heard about \u201cSoros prosecutors\u201d is real, not some far-right BS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conditionally accepted a case in which the defendant is being criminally charged for shooting at a man who was shooting at him. The other guy pulled his gun first, the defendant went for his, and each fired simultaneously. Why is THIS guy being charged? According to the defense lawyer, the first guy fired only one shot, the defendant fired more than one to drive him off, and the prosecutor seems to think whoever launched the most bullets must be culpable. Fortunately no one was hit by the gunfire when a public place suddenly became a two-way range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why do I say \u201cconditionally accepted\u201d? Because I can tell you something I can never say in front of a jury: I only take a case after I\u2019ve seen all the evidence and been convinced that the client did the right thing. It\u2019s why I turn down way more cases than I take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Having spent most of my adult life working in the justice system in one capacity or another, I can understand why it sometimes befuddles the general public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
