Alfredo Bullard y la estupidez
http://elcomercio.pe/opinion/columnistas/riesgo-moral-estupidez-alfredo-bullard-435252 "Si el consumidor no leyó la etiqueta con los ingredientes, o sacudió la Coca-Cola para jugar carnavales con sus amigos o se quiso suicidar y por eso se clavó un cuchillo, es absurdo hacer responsable a la empresa. Y si no, respondamos la siguiente pregunta: ¿qué puede hacer el fabricante de un producto para informar al consumidor si a este no le da la gana de leer las etiquetas?" MI COMENTARIO Sigue la defensa del engaño y se va poniendo color hormiga, ayer en "Hora Clave" entrevistaron a un señor de apellido Daly de la SNI y hoy Alfredo Bullard nos presenta el más claro ejemplo de lo que un abogado NO puede hacer. La pregunta resaltada en negrita es tan, pero tan torpe que cualquier mercachifle o tinterillo del "derecho" la hará polvo. Como soy Abogado y para mi satisfacción…

OH11: Running away is withdrawal of consent to search, but reasonable suspicion for a patdown

Conflating Guilt
You know Cosby's guilty. You just know it. But the jury hung!?What is it that the jury did't get? How could they have been so confused? And that cop in Minnesota, Jeronimo Yanez. The one who killed Philando Castile who's girlfriend caught it all on video. Acquitted? Gimme a break.I mean, we know. We just fuckin' know. Which is, kinda, the problem. Sorta. In part.Greenfield explains today why Cosby may not actually be guilty.* But, well, Scott only touches on a part of it. Because guilt is complicated. As is innocence.I've talked about these things at length before (here for instance). I'm going to try doing it simply, now.So -- GUILTBy which you mean exactly, what, Grasshopper?Legal? Cosby will be legally guilty only if and when a jury says they are convinced that the prosecutor proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the offense…

Stats from the Safety and Justice Challenge
The organization has published some startling statistics that show just how critical a problem the country’s incarceration rate has become. Funded by a $100 million investment from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Safety and Justice Challenge was created to reduce over-incarceration in the United States. The organization has published some startling statistics that show just how critical a problem the country’s incarceration rate has become. American’s Prison Overpopulation Problem The U.S. has the highest incarceration rate of any country on earth. In total, the U.S. makes up just 5 percent of the world’s population, yet it is home to a staggering 25 percent of the world’s prison population. This means that for every 100,000 people in the country, 716 of them are in prison. Furthermore, victimization rates — meaning the number of people who are victims of crimes — are the same in the United States as they are…

Associate Attorney General Rachel Brand
Politico has an article with a short profile of Associate Attorney General Rachel Brand. I've known Rachel for years and, like a couple of Harvard Law professors quoted in the article, I'm a big fan of hers.The occasion for the article is speculation (and that's all it is) that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will recuse himself during the Russia investigation because he wrote the memo outlining the reasons then-FBI Director Comey should be replaced. Rachel is next in line at the Department. I tend to think this is so much space-filler, but one way or the other, DOJ benefits from having Rachel at a high level.A taste of the article:Brand has enjoyed a glittering career, one that marked her early for a top job at the Justice Department in a Republican administration. Raised with three siblings on an Iowa farm, she graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1995 and, three years later, from Harvard Law School.She was active in the Federalist Society, the…
