Oh Christ it gets worse.Millard’s client, who was charged with a minor in possession of alcohol, was asked repeatedly by the judge if he would pass a drug test. Millard politely asserted his client’s right to remain silent; however, Judge Post continued to press the issue and instructed Millard to sit down and be quiet. When Millard asserted his client’s constitutional rights again in response to further questions, the judge held him in contempt and sent him to jail.
Oh, wow. I guess law has finally been taken behind the shed and shot in the head.
Gah.... People have no idea the shit I deal with daily and somehow manage to assert that they don't want to pay me for doing it. I sue them and my malpractice insurance goes up just because I sued them, even though I was right, win, and have a perfect ethics complaint record of them all being completely unfounded and retaliatory bullshit by people trying to scare me off collecting my fee. I swear to god, I will chase them to the five corners of hell for that money come what may.
Let me guess, this was an elected judge wasn't it? O, I can't lie so blatantly in court, but also can't assert constitutional rights of my clients to not answer questions. This judge needs written up and dragged before the state bar, preferably kicking and screaming if possible.
"He asked the lawyer on the way to jail for contempt if he had learned his lesson...." You need formal discipline for violating the code of judicial conduct judge....
The reason the legal system (not "justice" system) in this country is so unfair, is because the benches are stacked with former prosecutors. We need someone who gives a more of a shit about constitutional rights than just throwing bodies in prison. The US has more people in Prison than Communist China which has many times our population. Are the criminals just somehow worse here...?
He took me on a dinner date once for our anniversary. We held hands and sat right next to one another. We didn't kiss in public or anything but it was far too obvious.... Some guy came up to us and said, "Do you mind, my family is here...." The implications were quite obvious.
Rob's reply was, "So is mine...." He stared him down; the implications were quite obvious.... Frankly I was at once flattered to be called his family and terrified at the situation. This was one of the more open ones.
Damn, that guy seems great. I hope you'll find another good one.
Thank you, here's hoping. I'm seeing a guy now who seems pretty nice. He's invited me over to watch season one of "The Big Bang Theory," a TV show he got on DVD for Christmas. Let's hope this goes well.
