Slight Rant

We wrapped up a defense in a criminal case in Jacksboro today that involved a special prosecutor. (The DA's office had to recuse itself since a family member of the defendant had worked in that office). In any event, I feel sorry for Jack County due to the expense that was involved for the prosecution. The case ended up involving a trial which could have been avoided by a reasonable plea bargain offer. The end result would have been the same and thousands of dollars could have been saved. (And I think there is another bill, in addition to the two listed above, that is coming.)

"I See Police Officer People"

What part of this paragraph doesn't fit: "Haley Joel Osment was charged with four criminal counts today including: driving while having a blood alcohol content of .08 percent or higher with the special allegation of having a blood alcohol content of .15 percent or higher (especially bad!), and possession of marijuana while driving. Osment's blood-alcohol content was 0.16 (double the legal limit) and the charges come from an incident last month when he crashed his 1995 Saturn, flipping it and breaking a rib."

But I'll admit that we might have some over-voting going on. The results are about as valid as the final recount in Florida in 2000.

I Love The Decatur Courthouse . . .

. . . because it doesn't have cameras in the courtroom! I blogged a while back about a lawyer that showed up for trial drunk in Las Vegas. Incredibly, that courtroom was equipped with a ton of cameras and has an audio system that is stellar. The videos of the event are all posted here. Quite frankly, they are huge to download and probably not worth your time. However, if you want to see some tension between (an overly nice) judge and a buzzed (but not drunk) lawyer. check it out. Edit: If you love reality TV, this stuff is pure gold.
