If You Come See Bennett & Bennett . . .

. . . do not wear a hoodie.
Someone just walked past the front of the home office wearing a dark hoodie, and both dogs (ROUSs — Ridgebacks of Unusual Size) went absolutely insane.
Rhodesian Ridgebacks are excellent judges of character (else they wouldn’t be welcome in the office); in their view, apparently, trustworthy people simply do [...]

Faith-Based Legal Argument

The same sorts of questions, it seems, pop up over and over again where lawyers gather to discuss the law. Questions like:
“Isn’t it a violation of the disciplinary rules for a lawyer to talk to another lawyer’s client about taking his case?”
and
“Shouldn’t I put my client on the stand, so that I can make a [...]

Trial Again Tomorrow

Knowing that a bunch of Harris County prosecutors are reading sometimes cramps my blogging style. I’ve got a felony cocaine and heroin case (less than a gram of each) set for trial tomorrow, and I feel constrained to say nothing more at this point than this:
It’s an automatic-probation case if we lose, but my client, [...]

Fond Memories of Snookems

Ron-in-Houston writes about “when he first realized Pat Lykos was insane”:

Little did I realize that I was about to descend into the twilight zone. One day I get a call at the office from Her Honor Pat Lykos ordering me to come down to the criminal courthouse. No consideration to my schedule was [...]

The Lesser of the Two Evils

Let’s say there’s a race for public office that you’re interested in. And the ideal candidate is running for this office. But he really doesn’t have a chance of winning because, when it comes right down to it, he’s too much of a gentleman to do what needs to be done to win.
And let’s say [...]

Lykos Reads the DA Playbook

From AHCL, talking about Harris County Republican DA candidate Pat Lykos:

At a recent political event, she refused to speak until after the representative of the Siegler campaign had gone first (even though that wasn’t the agreed upon order). Apparently, she didn’t want anyone to follow up after her speech and point out (yet again) that [...]

Babies and Bathwater

The Harris County Republican primary, with its fight among Jim Leitner, Kelly Siegler, Doug Perry, and Pat Lykos is very interesting. Conventional wisdom is that Pat Lykos, who may very well be the absolute worst candidate for the position (sharing Doug Perry’s lack of trial experience but not his niceness nor honesty), has the nomination [...]

Information Wants to Be Free

In his lone post this morning, Scott Greenfield writes about a federal judge’s attempt to shut down Wikileaks by “directing the Web site’s Internet domain registrar to disable the wikileaks.org domain”. The order came in suit filed by a Swiss bank complaining that Wikileaks had published confidential bank records.
The problem, as Mark Draughn (Windypundit.com) points [...]

Reasonable Doubt Tonight

Todd Dupont, Kelly Siegler, [edit: Harris County prosecutor Murray Newman, ] and I will be on Reasonable Doubt live tonight at 8:00 p.m. Comcast channel 17.

Real Bloggers Get DOSed

English barrister Geeklawyer apparently wrote something not-so-nice about ex-PM Tony Blair (who reportedly seeks to become president of the EU), resulting in the Blairites (Blairians?) attacking his blog with a denial-of-service attack.
