    My aunt is a divorce lawyer. In person, she is really cool and has a really good marriage of 17 years.
    On the clock, she is a completely different person. She is a hungry pitbull that is out for the kill. She is very expensive, but worth it. She will dig up everything about her clients ex and even the client themselves. She demands passwords for all clients social media accounts and searches through everything.

    I got a police officer schooled by a judge. I was given a red light ticket. I passed on Yellow, in CA you can be in the intersection on yellow. Well suddenly I'm surprised I see lights in my rear view. I for some reason decided to record on my phone, just audio (I'd just moved to this area and was getting pulled over a lot, I have a beater civic, and this rich area everyone rdives Benzes and such. I stood out).
    So at court I tell the judge I was in yellow when it turned red. My word vs cops. I present the audio to the judge.
    You clearly hear the cop tell me. "No my light turned green while you were in the intersection."
    Which is the same as saying the yellow turning red while while in the intersection.

    • @bradgaines5091
      @bradgaines5091 2 года назад +12

      That might not have worked in an area that had a delayed green. I've seen lights in some places (first place I noticed was in NYC) where when one light turns red, the other stays red for a few seconds before turning.
      I think it's a safety measure for if you have people trying to beat the light, and cross traffic focusing exclusively on the light and floor it the moment it changes. The delay helps prevent two sets of idiots at the same intersection from causing an accident.
      Thing is, for those intersections in NYC, cross traffic would go when the other light turned red, instead of waiting for theirs to turn green.

      "The person accusing my client was obviously not happy with the result".
      Person? You mean the state? Or are you suggesting that your client won the case against the state and was found not guilty, then the person who owned the house filed a civil suit? In which case, your client wouldn't be "not guilty" off of this case.

    I'm a PA and not an attorney although very similar responsibilities in insurance litigation and settlement here in missouri; I represent homeowners against insurance companies to get Fair settlement claims after natural disasters.
    State farm is notoriously bad in our industry and regularly rips off insured's by simply turning them down for things that are covered or forcing them to pay exorbitant amounts of money for legal fees or representation instead of just paying them the money they owe them "example tornado blows your house to pieces but State farm says maybe your house wasn't built well so they don't want to cover it".
    Anyways a few years back I had a rather large State farm claim where they were trying to say the total of damages was like $4,000 and after writing everything up I was Max policy at $115,000. They acted like they wouldn't budge so I pulled the binder highlighted all coverages had it notarized and was in the process of getting it settled out when I found out the older lady who owned the property had a heart attack due to the stresses of State farm arguing with her and trying to get her to fire us and just settle for the small amount of money. Apparently the local State farm agent had been driving to her house and lying to her and telling her what we were doing was questionably legal and that she would go to jail if she followed suit.
    We turned it into a medical lawsuit and settled for $575,000 plus Max coverage of $115,000 on the home.

      Lawyers work as interns while going through school, so that they can build up the experience and knowledge necessary to be able to perform when they pass the bar. During that time, they learn to keep their appearance up, manage their case files, and prepare themselves for their time in the courtroom. The internship is when these failures should come to light, NOT after they take a case as a full lawyer and are representing a client.

    For anyone wondering what the counter argument would’ve been to the “commonality” of the fingerprint between neighboring doors, here it is: first, the accused had no occasion to ever visit the burglarized residence, and there is no record of him visiting; second, the space and orientation of the doors between the two residences make it highly unlikely that the residents will mistake their neighbor’s door for their own; and most importantly, the fingerprint was fresh and undistorted, suggesting it had occurred recently (i.e., proximate to when the burglary occurred).

      In other words, if you get pulled over for a DUI, the prosecution would not be allowed to bring up past DUIs *unless* you argue that you would *never* drink and drive (at which point not only are you making a character argument as the defense, you're also exposing yourself to perjury if it turns out you *DO* have a DUI on record).

    Not seeing why the 1st lawyer went so hard on the opposing lawyer for the evidence. The guy straight up said the other lawyer looked like he didn't know the tape existed either. Hard to disclose something you don't know exists. And hell, it was a witness that brought it up even.

    • @sexyangel072
      @sexyangel072 3 года назад +5

      That’s what I found weird also. Because normally a judge would not have allowed the video to play at all. And even then if they wanted to enter it, the other attorney (OP) would have had to have allowed it enter into evidence BEFORE it was played. I just fine the story fishy

    • @thevoxdeus
      @thevoxdeus 3 года назад +4

      Also, how did the video get shown in the first place? The defense attorney would surely object the moment the video was mentioned and ask the judge to strike even a mention of it. If the judge allowed it, then that judge couldn't throw out the result. Well, I guess he could, but it would be the judge facing censure, not the prosecuting attorney.

    • @jacobcrouch6418
      @jacobcrouch6418 3 года назад +2

      @@thevoxdeus Exactly, either the judge should have denied it's showing, or the OP would have given his consent to have it shown. Cause in the end, the judge can say to ignore what was shown, and to strike it from the record, but it's already been shown. You can't just forget that without it affecting you.

      IANAL but part of lawyering is knowing how to talk to non-lawyers. You know all those fancy latin phrases you hear in TV shows?
