  My Dad (an EMT) was once sued for sexual harassment after he performed CPR and saved a woman&apos;s life. For touching her breasts.<br>The union defended him superbly. Naturally. No good deed goes unpunished.

  For those who don&apos;t know what double jeopardy means, it&apos;s essentially unable to be punished for the crime you have already been punished for. You can pay for an item with a dollar but you can&apos;t then pay for another item with the same dollar. You can however pay with another dollar. You can only be punished once per crime. And you will be punished for every instance of crime even if they are the same kind

  Story #8: if the man is as devout as he seems, then he should see this situation for what it is; God&apos;s way of telling him to not have any more kids, 7 is quite enough.

  some of these go to show that a defense attorney&apos;s job isn&apos;t necessarily to get an acquittal—it&apos;s to protect the defendant&apos;s rights and pursue the best outcome they can. Guilty defendants need representation, too.

  Most defense attorney&apos;s are getting cases they cannot defend because their job isn&apos;t to defend their clients innocence, it&apos;s to makes sure their client gets a fair trial. Most of their clients are guilty and they just need to make sure the evidence against them is legal and the trial itself the same. People think a defense attorney&apos;s job is to get their guy off, and while some offer their services like this, that&apos;s not how their role works in the justice system. Their role just happens to lead to that outcome.

  That Judge Judy clip where the guys were on trial for stealing a woman’s purse, and while the woman is listing the items stolen one of the guys literally says “that wasn’t in the purse”😂

  Yeah, cops usually need an arrest warrant to knock down your door and grab you, but there&apos;s an exception for hot pursuit (i.e. multiple cops saw you commit the shooting and run home). No warrant needed in that case, they can just break into whatever place they saw you run into.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtVFeJSURzY&amp;t=134">2:14</a> my friend got into because a guy did a piece for her, she claimed he didn’t tell her he’d put his signature near the piece but he used the same “artist has to sign his work” argument as the graffiti artist, he’s a tattoo artist…
