  • there is something in between my brain and my mouth that stops words from reaching my mouth occasionally (i think it’s called aphasia) and if you’re patient and give me a few minutes i can write a sentence that sounds professional and has all the right words. If i gotta dash of fifty of them in a minute i’m going to sound like an inebriated clown who is speaking their third language. some might be poetic, some might be funny, but they’re going to be all over the place as i try to remember what that thing that makes the hard crunchy cold drink stuff tasty drink fuck whats it ICE YES FINALLY SHUT UP

    we play the hand we’re glorped















  • Pretty sure the trial never went forward and somehow ended in a mistrial.

    in order to represent yourself, the judge has to determine that you are competent to represent yourself. a few questions (“do you understand the charges?” “do you understand the severity of the charges [i.e., do you know the maximum sentence you can get]?”) answered correctly generally establishes competence. I’m guessing defendant was either found incompetent or spoiled the jury pool via sovcit bullshittery and they had to get another (which the sovcit thought meant they were acquitted), hence the yelling.


  • i remember sitting in voir dire (jury selection) in a civil case and the attorney for one side started arguing their case. now we’re just a bunch of laypeople (i work in a specific title so i know a little shit but i’m no trial attorney) and all of us know you can’t do that. dude looked like the slickest, greasiest, shiniest and i mean shiniest he had a silver semireflective i don’t think he knew good fabric isn’t supposed to be shiny suit. absolute greasewad lawyer. after a few minor rumblings (“you can’t do that!” “i know!” “i watched CSI this ain’t how shit go!”) from the jury box of him trying to argue his case and sustained objections. so as he’s diring his voir he continually is getting stopped and restarts, finally the judge pulls him up to the bench for a good yelling at. probably, and if i know my judges and with two of them in the family i do, “keep this up and i’m defaulting for the other side”. then we broke for lunch and they had selected 16 (it was only going to be two alts, but really quick the judge upped it to four imagine that) so i went home.

    anyways, i wish i had gotten that attorney’s card. so i could look up if he works in the krasnov administration now. he was the third worst lawyer i’ve ever met.
