My client was convicted yesterday of seven counts of crimes he says he did not commit. I believe my client. Of course, only he and the complaining witness really know what what down, if anything. A jury convicted as it chose to believe the young woman.
Should I have not waived closing argument...

The barriers to entry into the blawgosphere are perishingly low, so forgive me for starting another blog. This one will be devoted to sex offenses and the defense of those accused of them. Here's the link, and the first post: http://defendingsexcrimes.blogspot.com/

I am receiving multiple emails a day from a person signing on as "Jim" or "RADIOFREEWYO." I don't read them any longer, but the writer is obsessed with me, with the Trial Lawyers College, with Gerry Spence, with Scott at Simple Justice, and with a bunch of miscellaneous chatter.

Ken Krayeske is a political activist. He is outspoken. He is brash. And, insofar as Connecticut law enforcement is concerned, he is marked man. Guess what? That's just fine and dandy, according to a recent ruling by a United States District Judge.

I have an anonymous reader who in recent days has posted dozens of times. I stopped publishing him or her when it became apparent the person pressed some sort of existential rewind button and was sending messages with the same theme over and over again.

When I walked off the ranch ten years ago it was because I found the benefits associated with attending Trial Lawyers College events as a staff member to be outweighed by all the baggage associated with attendance: People wanted things I did not understand and I was spending far more time...

Snarkdom has found its way into the comments section of this blog as regards the Trial Lawyers College and Gerry Spence. We have a new anonymous writer obsessed with me. It is to the point that when I pass gas the poor fellow, or gal, gets an ear ache. In TLC-speak, the writer has given up his...
