I always look forward to your articles, Ash. I’m so happy that you shared this with us. And I’m glad you gave DAII a shot. IMO it has some of the best character development in the series and it’s our first introduction to the Paragon of Manliness, otherwise known as Varic Tethras.

I am deeply disappointed in the lack of Independence Day references in this article.

Sorry to hear about the job, but don’t give up on unemployment. Just make sure you call in when you need to, turn in all of your documents, listen to the ALJ (don’t interrupt them!) and if things don’t go your way, appeal. Some employers don’t view it worth the time and effort to see an unemployment appeal through, so…

1000% this. I’m in Legal and work with Information Security to recover files that outgoing employees take with them. My job is literally to prevent the above from happening. Most people don’t realize that there’s monitoring software on their computer: if you work for a major company and do this, they will know about…

Laurel Lefkow? Getting Sigourney Weaver vibes from the VA and Laurel voiced Ripley in the Audible adaptations of Alien. Also, this looks like Annihilation as a video game which I am 100% here for.

I am doing the exact same thing as you right now: Witcher 3 during the day, Animal Crossing while bingeing tv at night.

Fruit of the poisonous tree. Even if they did go through the process of the warrant, it was based on unlawfully obtained evidence. Get the weed/THC rap thrown out and the warrant goes with it. Also, you cant compel a defendant to provide incriminating evidence against himself. Wth.

The salt is strong with this one. I’m here for it.

This is quite possibly the stupidest thing he could do. To prove defamation, he has to show that either (A) the accusations were false and said knowing that they were false or (B) the accusers made the accusations with a reckless disregard for the truth. The burden is on him and there is no way in hell he can meet…

Oh, I know about the crime-fraud exception, which is what I’m referring to by saying ACP won’t cover everything. If the conversations were about using campaign finance funds as hush money, furthering illegal transactions with Russian agents, etc. then there is no reason why this (A) would not be within the scope of…

If the description of these tapes is true than most of these recordings won’t be protected by ACP. I’m sure Cohen was privy to some TITillating conversations.

Also not mentioned, is that he’s been charged with another sexual assault that occurred in 2014.

Yeah, it doesn’t say here but he was convicted of armed robbery in 1991 and while in prison he was found guilty on two counts of attempted prisoner possession of weapons. Mlive has been covering this extensively since Dumbuya went missing in January. The bullshit thing is that the school district didn’t fire James…

I can’t speak for other states, but in Michigan, any applicant for a job at a school MUST be fingerprinted and undergo a criminal background check. It’s the law. Criminal background requests go directly to the Michigan State Police, so they’ll use the fingerprint and any other information to pull relevant criminal…

By law, the school district must perform background checks. KPS said they had no idea he was a felon. Like what? A simple background check would have revealed that! I hope the family sues the ever-loving shit out of the district.

Kalamazoo was where her body was found: 45 miles away from where she lived. She reported the rape to Kentwood police in November 2017. Kentwood is a southeast suburb of Grand Rapids. I think your previous articles about her misreport her as being a Kalamazoo resident. Dumbuya never lived in Kalamazoo but James did.

Sour…

I had really hoped she would be cast as Cheetah in the new Wonder Woman movie. Missed opportunity from producers on that one.

This. I’m an employment and labor attorney that almost exclusively represents employers. I’ve gotten a reputation among my friends as being anti-union due to my work and what I say about it. That simply isn’t the case. I usually deal with teamsters in the Midwest. Most of them have been completely mismanaged to the…

Fascinating article. BUT, and I hate to be that person, it’s “judgment,” not “judgement”.

Law French is my favorite. Because it’s a romance language, it’s pretty easy to figure out the literal translation but my god people cannot pronounce it. I had a law professor from Texas pronounce voir dire as “voy dahyuhr”. A professor!
