In the case of the abuser being caught in the house of his victim, the reason the abuser was caught was the prosecutor catching tells in the body language and facial expressions of the victims which indicated to her that the abuser was nearby and not only was the victim afraid to be honest, but the abuser had likely told the victim what to say. If the prosecutor deserves major kudos for recognizing what she was seeing.

If they're both called to court, they're called to court. The court is who gave the restraining order. It's the only time the two parties should ever be in the same room, even if they DO both want to be together. Put a stop on the order first, then reconcile, because you can get arrested and jailed even if the claimant says it's okay. They asked for the order, but it's the court's order. My friend is actually in jail right now because her unstable niece filed a restraining order against her for attention and later was locked out of her house by her partner for acting abusively. My friend let her into her home to use the phone and get niece willingly went in, then called the cops on her. She got 6 months. During a pandemic. It's ridiculous. But she technically broke the law.

Everyone feared showing up to school naked, but Law Student dreamed it...and then he made it real. Don't let your dreams just be dreams, Random Law Student. Also, huge props to Deborah Davis and Jeffrey Middleton, two people questioning their decision to practice/be involved with law in Michigan.
Did y’all see the one with the college professor who was giving a lecture over zoom. He was sharing his screen in a demonstration. At which point, *a few of his students noticed that one of his browser tabs was a BRAZZERS “Busty College Babes.”*
The other lawyer waving at the lunch lawyer to inform him he's on camera is the Solicitor General of India, and it is a hearing before the Patna High Court (equivalent to a us state supreme court or a federal court of appeals). Apparently the SG asked him to send some food over
@@XXX3155 Looks like a paratha, but can't really tell because of the angle. Unfortunately, the Indian media was happy to just link to the video and completely failed to like interview the guy and find out what he was eating
My favorite part was that he got a call, which I'm assuming was from the other person on the zoom because he freaked out afterwards. Like he dropped everything. I just love that😄
The lawyer chowing down on his lunch made me realize what's happing in some of these. People minimize their program and they can't see anyone else, but they don't realize that their camera is still on and the other people CAN see them. Hahahaaa. That's something my wife would 100%.
But was he there with her permission? Or did he just show up and refuse to leave, and she was too scared to say anything? Because she knows what will happen after the call if she speaks up and the police might not interfere in time. Bare in mind, we don't hear her say she doesn't want the restraining order anymore. We here HIM say she doesn't want it anymore. Which is a classic abuser tactic.
@@Thehouseoffail she did NOT go back to him. Michelle clearly did not watch the actual video. He showed up at *HER* house and threatened her. You can hear it in the video when the police officer arrives, he softly asks her if he threatened her to which she whisper a very shaky yes.
The guy who was zooming from his x girlfriend's house had a crazy follow-up. When they tried again he had been sitting in jail, with a continued restraining order. There were new allegations: he had called her multiple times from the jail phone and threatened her to drop the accusations! Jail phones start with "this call is being recorded" so it's just insane he thought he could get away with it. The trial was just insane, he became increasingly agitated and wanted to fire his lawyer. And Middleton is just perfect.
@@ulrichkalber9039 Yup, up in Canada, there are two special designations...."Long Term Offender", in which case, a) the convict has to do their WHOLE SENTENCE (no parole), and b) they basically spend a period of 10 years on PROBATION afterwards, with more jail time for failure to comply. And above that is "Dangerous Offender", which means the person could be locked away FOR LIFE even if their offenses don't warrant it. Now, under our own version of "Three Strikes", a third offense involving certain violent and sexual crimes reverses the onus, meaning the DEFENDANT has to prove that they deserve to avoid this designation.
And best of it all was calling his defender a "Bum-ass dude" because he wouldn't ask the victim the aggressive questions he was given. Like dude, let your attorney do his job
@@raakone That's a slippery slope that I hope you guys cotton onto before you learn the lesson from the lower-48. Prosecutors who need votes to remain in office love "tough on crime" statistics and that leads to abuses.
I thought it was that he had logged on, but hadn't realized it had started, and was trying to sneak in a meal. Either way, that one isn't really bad, and only funny for the look on his face when he gets the call.
Comical relief aside, these illustrate how a very non-insignificant part of the legal profession is horrendously out of touch with basic contemporary technology. Hell, in my jurisdiction you need to have IT professionals on site because judges don't know how to join Zoom sessions by themselves. I've personally seen prosecutors who fail to read - much less understand - that their cellphones are not downloading WhatsApp pictures because their 1GB internal memory is full.
Tech illiteracy is a problem that tends to skew older, and since law is a profession that allows and encourages a much longer lifetime of employment/promotion, you naturally end up with an industry where most of the judges and a hefty chunk of lawyers are within the age range most likely to be partially or fully tech illiterate. Very unfortunate, though not all that shocking. (What IS shocking is people like that law student, like my guy how are you a child of the info age and you dont understand how a webcam works))
@@jazzycat8917 I don't even know how to use my webcam. Never had a reason to use it, so I never cared to learn. It's not about when you grew up, it's about what you use and what you want to do.
I work with allegedly brilliant scientists that cannot figure out how to share their screen after a year of this. It's not that they can't learn it's that they won't because they think they're above it. There gets to be a point where it should be considered embarrassingly rude to not know how to use the basic technology to do your job. I think this is equivalent to someone in 1980 saying they don't know how to make a phone call and having their assistant always dial for them.
10:42 major props to the prosecutor for that case recognizing that the victim was in distress and planning ahead with police in the event that something like this would happen. Abusive partners will do anything to maintain control of their victims, and honestly this isn’t the craziest story I’ve heard in this regard
If you listen to the video where the victim and the offender are in the same location, the officer at the door whispers "Did he threaten you?" and she whispers back, "Yes."
I'm glad we finally live in a time where cat lawyers can present cases, even if they have to lie and say they're not a cat. There will be books written about that guy some day.
Objection! That toilet could have been someone just sitting too close to their bathroom and someone else using it. That doctor was willfully choosing to be in the wrong. I think we need to rethink this one.
I would give it to the Dr over the Supreme Court, but I HAVE to give it to the cat over the dr. That cat face, those cat eyes, the expressions, the voice. It’s just a masterpiece. How did that judge not have to excuse himself?
When I moved to WFH for my previous employer, I didn't even have a camera and was still neurotic someone could see me at home. These people taking Zoom calls naked are real mavericks 😂
I usually put a little piece of tape over the webcam on my laptops as well as shut it off in settings. I would take it off if I have a reason to video chat with someone.
@@LegalEagle One thing! Just one thing! Please tell IT to me: WHY tf do I have so many fans even though no RUclipsr is unprettier than I am? WORLDWIDE!!!! WHY??? Tell me, dear öegal
i spend the entirety of every zoom call staring at my screen making sure im not doing anything even remotely embarrassing, and even then i turn the camera off at the first chance i can. dudes out here buck-ass nude having sex without triple checking their screen is off! we exist in different worlds.
I use a physical cover on the webcam and opaque tape over every other camera in the vicinity, including cell phone. On Zoom I mute whenever not speaking and turn off video when my interaction is not required. It sounds like a hassle, but it reduces a LOT of stress.
The best observation about the Supreme Court toilet flush is that nobody was willing to admit to being the flusher or wonder aloud who did it, which means it was probably one of the justices.
I'm convinced he knew exactly what he was doing. We know there are guys who find an opportunity to flaunt their junk simply irresistible. Occam tells me that's more likely than him accidently leaving the video on, but muting everyone else. If his manhood was loftier than his GPA, the cost/benefit analysis may have worked out for him.
@@SJMcK so if you don't log into the class on time you could get an absent, think 4 is a F for the class, zoom rules were unclear. So he signed in before being ready and thought his camera was off.
In defense of the sandwich guy, he didn't seem to be aware he was on camera. It looked like the judge called and told him. You can see the "oh crap!" expression as he sets down his lunch reaches for his computer/device.
For my dissolution over Zoom last year, there was NO WAY I would show up in anything less than a suit and tie. My ex dressed as well as I did. The judge, broadcasting from his basement, dressed casual, but he can get away with it. I cannot comprehend why anyone would risk pissing the judge off by showing a lack of decorum.
I'll note that some small town judges are OK with everyone being dressed casually. In such venues, the local lawyers know this and basically everyone dresses casually. Someone who attended such a trial in a suit and tie would come across as being overly formal, which could have a negative impact on how they are perceived by the judge and by the jury. Mind you, I believe this is incredibly rare.
I love how offended Devin is that people are running around all day without pants. Side note: please remember as the person who Hosts the zoom call, you can mute and turn off video feed of people in the call. Which seems like it would have been REALLY helpful information in some of these situations.

@@richardpowell3266 Nah. If you see the whole story, the cat-lawyer himself thought it was hilarious and a good teaching moment for others with little consequence for himself beside his Warhol-mandated 15 minutes and a bit.
The abuser one, when the prosecutor says that you can see the cop in the zoom think for half a second, realize she's right, and super slyly calling it in.
It's crazy what people have done during official legal meetings that I wouldn't dare to think of during my 10:15 math class. I get so paranoid that my mic or camera is on when I'm eating a bag of Doritos lol, let alone being naked or worse :eyes:
12:48 "This is an issue we didn't have when we had live court." is the same thing they said when they put body cams on police. If it wasn't for covid-19 he probably would have still been in the victim's home and no one would have known.
Judge Middleton just seems like the guy who’s been keeping up with the roller coaster that was 2020, and has thus seen such much bull crap that nothing surprises him anymore.
The fact that the cat lawyer wanted to proceed with the cat filter still on is absolutely hilarious. There’s no amount of money that I wouldn’t pay to be a fly on that wall
The guy who claimed to not be in a car reminds me of the day I took my driver's test at age 16. The car next to me had another teen in it, and the guy giving the test came to my window first and told me I was next after the other kid. So off goes the test-giver, to start the usual inspection of lights and whatnot. I'm busy trying not to freak out from anxiety, but before long he's walking by my window again and says, "Nevermind, I'll be with you shortly." He's got the kid walking with him and they go back into the DMV. When the test-giver comes back out, he gets in my car after doing the initial lights test and says, "Yeah, so, that guy has expired tags and when I went to find out who'd driven him here, it appears he drove himself. He's here for his driving test for his license too... he doesn't have one." Oopsie!
Around here, the test is always in the driving instructor's training car (which has extra supervisor controls in the passenger seat, allowing the teacher or test officer to stop the vehicle). So no option of using your own car, but still possible to illegally drive yourself to the DMV.
In the eating one, it's an Indian lawyer in front of the solicitor general of India and the SGI actually calls the lawyer and asks him to send some food over

It did apparently originate in jazz clubs in US, in the 1930s but "to go to town" is very common in British English. I don't think it can be called an Americanism, now -- it's just English.
@@mishapurser4439 Sure, though in this case it's the figurative meaning of "doing something in an extravagant way", not the literal meaning of "travelling to the the urban area."

@@cindyhill9091 Certainly. He likely didnt agree with the charge or thought it was pointless, and was showing his disregard for the whole procedure on purpose.
@@cindyhill9091 I'm not sure it was a flex. I read somewhere that the surgery was delayed and was supposed to have been finished comfortably before the court hearing; however, I don't know how reliable that claim is. And even if it's true, as Devin says, there's no excuse for not just getting somebody to call the court and explain the situation.
Yea, this word misuse has been my pandemic pet peeve. I've seen it printed in newspapers and newscasters have talked about folks flaunting rules. Where are the editors?! They're not shamelessly showing off the rules. They are flouting the rules- openly defying them. I said a quiet sad "nooooo" when I heard Legal Eagle say it.
10:05 He says as I am walking around my house in the buff. I think people greatly underestimate the number of people in the world who live alone or with enough home privacy that they don’t mind being nude in their own house. It’s just that zoom calls change things and people are actually idiots.
One of our best criminal law professors was quite a funny dude, but he really liked to be "practical" about his methods. When we had the section about robbery, which needs under German law the use of force, he brought a large kitchen knife with him and waived it around in front of the students. Basically, arguing that this would be the best way to give an impression of psychological force (so, not using the knife, but threatening with it). The guy with the gun reminded me of him.
Prosecutor Davis is a heckin hero, you can tell by the worry mixed with relief on her face when the domestic abuser appeared on the victim's stream the she had real care and concern for her safety.

@@cre-k8-ive yeah the court had taken a lunch break after the morning session, the lawyer case was scheduled after the break
The lawyer chowing down on his lunch made me realize what's happing in some of these. People minimize their program and they can't see anyone else, but they don't realize that their camera is still on and the other people CAN see them. Hahahaaa. That's something my wife would 100%.
Yeah
My mother probably would too. We're lucky that video chat can actually kind of work here in the first place.
The restraining order one was just sad--it's scary and shows the dangers of domestic violence.
But was he there with her permission? Or did he just show up and refuse to leave, and she was too scared to say anything? Because she knows what will happen after the call if she speaks up and the police might not interfere in time. Bare in mind, we don't hear her say she doesn't want the restraining order anymore. We here HIM say she doesn't want it anymore. Which is a classic abuser tactic.
@@Thehouseoffail she did NOT go back to him. Michelle clearly did not watch the actual video. He showed up at *HER* house and threatened her. You can hear it in the video when the police officer arrives, he softly asks her if he threatened her to which she whisper a very shaky yes.

The guy who was zooming from his x girlfriend's house had a crazy follow-up. When they tried again he had been sitting in jail, with a continued restraining order. There were new allegations: he had called her multiple times from the jail phone and threatened her to drop the accusations! Jail phones start with "this call is being recorded" so it's just insane he thought he could get away with it. The trial was just insane, he became increasingly agitated and wanted to fire his lawyer. And Middleton is just perfect.
that sort of behavior might get you locked up indefinitely in some places, after all he is a threat to society.
@@ulrichkalber9039 Yup, up in Canada, there are two special designations...."Long Term Offender", in which case, a) the convict has to do their WHOLE SENTENCE (no parole), and b) they basically spend a period of 10 years on PROBATION afterwards, with more jail time for failure to comply. And above that is "Dangerous Offender", which means the person could be locked away FOR LIFE even if their offenses don't warrant it. Now, under our own version of "Three Strikes", a third offense involving certain violent and sexual crimes reverses the onus, meaning the DEFENDANT has to prove that they deserve to avoid this designation.
@@raakone wow v interesting
And best of it all was calling his defender a "Bum-ass dude" because he wouldn't ask the victim the aggressive questions he was given. Like dude, let your attorney do his job
@@raakone That's a slippery slope that I hope you guys cotton onto before you learn the lesson from the lower-48. Prosecutors who need votes to remain in office love "tough on crime" statistics and that leads to abuses.
The guy eating his lunch didnt realize he was still on zoom so the judge called him and told him lol
you can see the exact moment he realizes and jumps for the camera
I thought it was that he had logged on, but hadn't realized it had started, and was trying to sneak in a meal. Either way, that one isn't really bad, and only funny for the look on his face when he gets the call.
@@SapSapient it might have been but either way he doesn't realize zoom wasnt on and was woofing down his lunch lol
He was enjoying that sandwich like Toobin was enjoying his... Call.
Well the prosecutor called him up and the fact Solicitor general was there it was most probably the Government of India vs someone
Comical relief aside, these illustrate how a very non-insignificant part of the legal profession is horrendously out of touch with basic contemporary technology. Hell, in my jurisdiction you need to have IT professionals on site because judges don't know how to join Zoom sessions by themselves. I've personally seen prosecutors who fail to read - much less understand - that their cellphones are not downloading WhatsApp pictures because their 1GB internal memory is full.
Tech illiteracy is a problem that tends to skew older, and since law is a profession that allows and encourages a much longer lifetime of employment/promotion, you naturally end up with an industry where most of the judges and a hefty chunk of lawyers are within the age range most likely to be partially or fully tech illiterate. Very unfortunate, though not all that shocking.
(What IS shocking is people like that law student, like my guy how are you a child of the info age and you dont understand how a webcam works))
@@jazzycat8917 Didn't realize the cam was on? idk how you reached the conclusion his understanding of how webcams work was the problem
@@jazzycat8917 I don't even know how to use my webcam. Never had a reason to use it, so I never cared to learn. It's not about when you grew up, it's about what you use and what you want to do.
I work with allegedly brilliant scientists that cannot figure out how to share their screen after a year of this. It's not that they can't learn it's that they won't because they think they're above it. There gets to be a point where it should be considered embarrassingly rude to not know how to use the basic technology to do your job. I think this is equivalent to someone in 1980 saying they don't know how to make a phone call and having their assistant always dial for them.
This is worldwide. The worst part is in general, Judges feel entitled to not learn, while everyone else in any profession must.
I appreciate you disqualifying the racist law professor, really helped to keep the tournament fun and light-hearted
10:42 major props to the prosecutor for that case recognizing that the victim was in distress and planning ahead with police in the event that something like this would happen. Abusive partners will do anything to maintain control of their victims, and honestly this isn’t the craziest story I’ve heard in this regard
If you listen to the video where the victim and the offender are in the same location, the officer at the door whispers "Did he threaten you?" and she whispers back, "Yes."
Omg that’s scary

For my dissolution over Zoom last year, there was NO WAY I would show up in anything less than a suit and tie. My ex dressed as well as I did. The judge, broadcasting from his basement, dressed casual, but he can get away with it. I cannot comprehend why anyone would risk pissing the judge off by showing a lack of decorum.
I'll note that some small town judges are OK with everyone being dressed casually. In such venues, the local lawyers know this and basically everyone dresses casually. Someone who attended such a trial in a suit and tie would come across as being overly formal, which could have a negative impact on how they are perceived by the judge and by the jury.
Mind you, I believe this is incredibly rare.

"I'm not a cat."
That's exactly what a cat impurrsonating a lawyer would say!
The fact that the cat lawyer wanted to proceed with the cat filter still on is absolutely hilarious. There’s no amount of money that I wouldn’t pay to be a fly on that wall
The guy who claimed to not be in a car reminds me of the day I took my driver's test at age 16. The car next to me had another teen in it, and the guy giving the test came to my window first and told me I was next after the other kid. So off goes the test-giver, to start the usual inspection of lights and whatnot. I'm busy trying not to freak out from anxiety, but before long he's walking by my window again and says, "Nevermind, I'll be with you shortly." He's got the kid walking with him and they go back into the DMV.
When the test-giver comes back out, he gets in my car after doing the initial lights test and says, "Yeah, so, that guy has expired tags and when I went to find out who'd driven him here, it appears he drove himself. He's here for his driving test for his license too... he doesn't have one." Oopsie!
Damn, when I took my license I met another guy who asked me what the speed limit was. Don't know if he got his license.
Around here, the test is always in the driving instructor's training car (which has extra supervisor controls in the passenger seat, allowing the teacher or test officer to stop the vehicle). So no option of using your own car, but still possible to illegally drive yourself to the DMV.
Let it be noted that Devin James Stone could totally appear at a Zoom court hearing shirtless, and everyone would thank him.

One of our best criminal law professors was quite a funny dude, but he really liked to be "practical" about his methods. When we had the section about robbery, which needs under German law the use of force, he brought a large kitchen knife with him and waived it around in front of the students. Basically, arguing that this would be the best way to give an impression of psychological force (so, not using the knife, but threatening with it). The guy with the gun reminded me of him.
