“The convicted sex offender will be charged on three of four child pornography counts and three of five counts of enticement of a minor to engage in criminal sexual activity.”

How is “replaced by a man” relevant?  Putting it in the headline implies it has some importance.  She was replaced by an alternate that both sides theoretically chose.

The jury instructions alone are daunting.

I’m sorry you experienced that but I think the “can’t commit” conversation was the blow off and well...he probably wasn’t expecting the follow up.

I know today is off to a bad start because I actually kind of find myself agreeing with Tomi Lahren. My lesbian aunt is a MAGA Trumper and it defies logic BUT she’s from rural Missouri... would I happily disagree with her in a conversation about politics? Yes. Would I publicly rebuke her on her 60th birthday? No.

The third season premieres next month.

Exactly.  “Odor of burnt cannabis” is my [least] favorite fake way to establish probable cause.

I’m white and I know I have many things to apologize for because of that...but I don’t think going after teachers here is the way.  The union agreed and there’s no information in this article that supports the proposition that teachers are outraged.

Thank you for this.

Child support ends if a court “terminates” your rights because you are unfit or unable to parent your children.  That is not “signing away” your rights.

Really late reply, but, most states have now adopted “no fault” divorce, so adultery wouldn’t factor in unless the argument was that marital money was dissipated in the course of the affair.

I definitely don’t condone social media battles when it comes to children...but if a woman was receiving $20,000 child support to raise her children would we say she was doing nothing but “sitting on [her] ass?”

You can’t “sign away” your rights to your children unless someone is willing to step in and adopt. The theory is that children are entitled to the support of both parents. Rights can be terminated for various reasons, but you cannot sign them away just because.

Thank you for this.  As a lawyer in the greys I’m often screaming into the void about the lack of context in these blogs.  

Miranda does not stand for the proposition that you can sue an officer for such a violation.  It has never had anything to do with civil law.  The remedy is to exclude statements from evidence with a motion to suppress.  I really wish your writers would start speaking with lawyers before writing these blogs.  You are…

This is stupid.

When will you all start editing? It is so distracting... “She feared she wasn’t good enough as her sisters...”?

It is not a crime to be a paid escort which is the only thing that is currently being alleged.

“Britney Spears surprised the world Thursday morning when it was announced that she was getting married today to her longtime beau, Sam Asghari, today.”

I have a client whose ex makes six figures with the Chicago Transit Authority and doesn’t even know how to spell his own last name.
