NRA afraid to confront 'real threat' to Second Amendment
Bravo, Radley Balko![The National Rifle Association] is the group that claims to be the only thing preventing the government from obliterating the Second Amendment, yet they’re noticeably quiet about the people doing the most violence to the Second Amendment — the armed, badge-wearing government employees we call law enforcement officers. For all the NRA’s dire warnings about government gun confiscation, the real, tangible threat to gun-owning Americans today comes not from gun-grabbing bureaucrats but from door-bashing law enforcement officers who think they’re at war — who are too often trained to view the people they serve not as citizens with rights but as potential threats. Here, the NRA just doesn’t want to get involved. ...[T]he NRA’s allegiance to law enforcement has made the NRA indifferent to the ways that police tactics, use-of-force policy and police training …

Judge Godwin’s Big Table In The Well
Senior Nebraska District Judge Richard Kopf deconstructed an opinion by Southern District of West Virginia Judge Joseph Godwin rejecting a plea agreement. Greatly condensed and summarized, the judge recounted: (1) Walker’s stunning criminal history (although I think it likely because of the age of many of the prior convictions, and the maximum score limitation for certain relatively minor crimes, that Walker’s criminal history score was IV); (2) the fact that Walker warned his customers that other customers of his had overdosed; (3) the fact that the use of heroin and other opiates had risen to epidemic levels in West Virginia with the concomitant reality of a mounting death toll; (4) the fact that federal judges are not overworked so plea bargains are not necessary for the sake of judges; (5) that there is an inverse relationship between the increased number of federal prosecutors and each individual prosecutor’s caseload, thus suggesting that federal…

Columbia University Settles With Paul Nungesser Over Mattress Girl
As it happened, I was on the phone with Paul Nungesser’s lawyer, Andrew Miltenberg, when the Columbia Spectator got the story. This was a critical condition of the settlement, that Columbia University be the party to break the news in its own way, but once done, it was anybody’s game. For Columbia, the public relations piece was more important than any other, negotiating every vowel and comma of the statement to be publicly released. This is what they finally agreed upon: Paul Nungesser and Columbia University have agreed to settle the lawsuit he filed in 2015. While Paul was a student at Columbia, he was accused of sexual misconduct. In November 2013, after a diligent and thorough investigation, Paul was found not responsible for any misconduct. Columbia University stands by that finding. In 2015, Paul graduated from Columbia in good standing as a distinguished John Jay Scholar. John Jay Scholars, like Paul, are recognized for their remarkable…

Does a Public Defender Provide Value in Chicago?
If you were to ask any experienced defendant whether he or she would want to be represented by a public defender, the results might indicate a high level of unwillingness. This reluctance to place trust in a public defender is a consequence of years a negative reputation, which has been reinforced by a system that employs many people who have no business working in criminal justice, let alone any other helping profession. At the same time, we know that many of the people who are charged with a criminal offense do not have the funds to hire an expert attorney to represent them. The national statistics indicate an indigence level of about 80% amongst all arrestees. Since poor people make up a disproportionately large segment of those who are arrested for felonies, the services of the public defender become an important cornerstone of the criminal justice system. Negligent and incompetent public defenders not only let down their immediate clients but also reduce public confidence…

Sheldon Silver’s Conviction Reversed By Second Circuit
As Jesse Eisinger portrays Preet Bharara in his upcoming book, “The Chickenshit Club: Why the Justice Department Fails to Prosecute Executives,” he was a show pony who adored the spotlight and went for the low hanging fruit to become a public darling. The biggest notch on Preet’s gun was the former leader of New York’s legislature, Shelly Silver. Silver was convicted on seven counts of corruption and sentenced to 12 years in prison. The Second Circuit reversed and remanded. It’s not that Silver didn’t engage in the conduct as alleged, but that Shelly Silver was the product of a long New York tradition, its roots going back to Boss Tweed, of New York politicians skirting the dirty. As Appellate Squawk explained at the time: What has Silver done to deserve a murder sentence? You won’t find out from the media, dutifully delivering the prosecution’s press releases. “Bribery,” “kickback,”…

Big Changes Recommended for California’s Traffic Court
According to California Supreme Court Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye, the over four million traffic tickets handed out to the state’s drivers each year should no longer be criminal charges. If other lawmakers agree with her, California drivers would spend less time in court and would no longer face fines of up to $300 and possible license suspensions for failing to show up for a hearing. A panel called the Commission on the Future of California’s Court System has recommended this traffic ticket proposal in an attempt to improve Californian’s interactions with the judicial system. Ms. Cantil-Sakauye wants the Judicial Council to study and report on the proposals by September in the Fall. The traffic proposals are the latest response to the slew of driver suspensions brought on indirectly by the court system’s financial deficits. California courts have been padding their budgets by adding surcharges to traffic tickets — $490 to the standard $100…

Con prisión preventiva

No he leído los fundamentos del Fiscal para solicitar la medida restrictiva de libertad, tampoco los argumentos de la defensa para oponerse a la misma, dudo muchísimo que algún otro abogado lo haya hecho, la constante presencia en los medios de los profesionales es la principal razón de las…

Short Take: Tatyana Hargrove’s Crutches Confused The Cops
The cops were looking for a big, bald, black man with a machete, so naturally they beat Tatyana Hargrove instead. It so easy to understand the confusion. Police said they mistook her for a man who reportedly had threatened people with a machete at a nearby store. The suspect was described as a 25- to 30-year-old bald man standing about 5-foot-10 and weighing about 170 pounds. Hargrove is 5-foot-2 and weighs 115 pounds, the Bakersfield California reported While Hargrove had no machete, she was on crutches. Hargrove, who was wearing a hat, “appeared to be a male and matched the description of the suspect that had brandished the machete and was also within the same complex the suspect had fled to,” the arresting officer, Christopher Moore, wrote in a report obtained by the Californian. He thought she had a weapon in her bag. Obviously, Hargrove was easily confused with the guy the cops were looking for, despite every conceivable aspect of her appearance being…
