I love this!

Lmao their ~special~Earl Grey syrup or whatever 🙄 and no, she could not be bothered to hand me a cup of ice either. It was just a real head scratcher of an interaction.

It’s a mixed bag there. I’ve also had perfectly pleasant, if slow, service.

100% 😂 like I too was once the hipster giving terrible customer service, but now I’m just old and tired and want my goddamn iced London Fog.

The service at Artifact is dismal. A 20 year old in her grandmother’s bowling shirt and cat ears rolled her eyes at me and said “too bad, we’re out of the ingredients.” After she’d looked me in the eye, taken my order where I’d asked for an iced London Fog, and then proceeded to make it hot. I even apologized to her like I was the asshole.

Not to mention the time I found a staple in my oatmeal.

The state that literally imprisons it’s own public defenders for zealously defending their clients? Louisiana is a hole and exceptionally corrupt.

Hey! We don’t want Hogan. He’s a genital wart.

Anything that might help poor Marylanders is going to get strangled in it’s infancy under Hogan. If it helps poor Black people it’s dead before that.

University of Baltimore law library. Or University of Maryland law library. Any library works in a pinch though.

Didn’t say that it was. I did not have access to that detail. I was simply providing some information about why describing his clothing might not have been enough. All of which you’d know if you paid attention to the meaning of my comment.

Fair enough. Thank you.

Did they decline to arrest him or did he get out on bail? Some of the wording in this quote is confusing. You can’t just “hold” someone for extended periods of time without charging them.

Not being able to read the rest of the story some of this does sound like a prosecutor who’s not interested in fighting for a victim. The fact that he admitted, unless the police fucked up in a profound way that would get the admission excluded, should have made it much easier.

But I also want to point out that juries rely extremely heavily on witness identification. This is not a good thing as witness identifications are generally awful. However, the victim not being able to identify the man can be hugely problematic, especially with a juries over reliance on witness ID’s. She may have described his clothing head to toe, but if it’s generic clothing a defense attorney can have a field day.

It’s a private Facebook group. Is there a news article or a name I could look up?

At the end of the day, I know when I close my laptop at 5 or 7 pm after a day of writing pharmaceutical contracts I won’t feel depressed or nauseous or angry. I’m not losing sleep worrying that one of my clients is going to get arrested, deported, or killed. But I also don’t feel like I’m making the world a better place. But who knows what I’ll be doing in 10 years. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Wow. That might be the dumbest question anyone has ever asked me. Of course the State’s Attorney’s office screws up. Everyone screws up. What has that got to do with what I said?

Lol yeah I gotcha. From the way law schools flog Big Law, the most talented ones of all wind up doing corporate transactional work and never see a courtroom at all but rather send big checks.

Shame on me for wanting details about an outrageous claim! It’s definitely because Democrats don’t believe in prosecuting criminal 🙄🙄

Yeah. As in you go to law school and then get a real job where you actually learn how to be a lawyer. But it’s not like you don’t learn stuff while getting a JD.

I literally never said or implied that it did. But since you also don’t know the context behind the release of the rape suspect I’ll take your attribution with a grain of salt.

Imagine taking the time to read my comment for comprehension. Then do it. Enjoy your Thanksgiving.

How do you think you get actual experience as an attorney without starting in law school? Timid prosecutors are not what the original comment implied. That’s why I said some information was missing.

Weird how they never taught me that in law school…

I feel like this is missing some information. They don’t just “let rapists go.”

Have you emailed or sent a message to your local representative? They might be able to assist you.

God I hope so!
