Sorry. I wasn't meaning to make light of those homicides. Just expressing a general dissatisfaction that fluffy crap is being attended to more than horrible crimes are. Especially by some parts of government. 

Unfortunately you have to give the prisoner more leeway and you have too make sure every "T" is crossed on legal paperwork especially if you know they are guilty. I am finding out working in the federal prison system. Inmates have a lot of time to think up ways to screw with the legal system, including the guards and they will take every chance they can to do so, even if they know they are guilty.

I am more pointing at the entire disregard for dealing with violent crime. Witness how NY gov Hochul is not clear on why Zelden is so hot on prosecuting and locking up criminals.

And I did not take it that way at all.  It was a really dumb question by the defense.  I also apparently made some borderline smart@ss comment to a question from the defense, and the jury chuckled.  I cannot remember what I said, but in was in answer to a question that caused me to lose brain cells.

OMG you are so right!  I had a jail investigation, where an inmate wanted to file charges on a guard for slapping his hand when the inmate stole the cake from another inmates tray as they were feeding.  I told him that was fine, I would file on the officer, but I would file on him for the theft of a $30,000 piece of cake.  He wanted to know WTF!? So I told him that is what it would cost the county to defend against a lawsuit by the inmate who did not get his cake and sued the county for abuse of a prisoner.  We probably would have lost as well.  He dropped his silly @ss charges.

That's not even that bad I know of one case where someone is trying to sue for getting Narcaned. 

I am lucky in that I only fix the security systems and I try to arrange my work to avoid the inmates as much as possible. It also helps that nobody will mess with me as I also fix the Cable TV which comes only after the perimeter camera and fence detection in the level of importance for maintenance.

Now for DoJ to step in and prosecute the obvious hate crime.

No doubt someone can post the appropriate meme to go with it

Thank you.  

I had a trial where the defense counsel asked me: "Do you think this property is haunted?"  In my last Capital Murder trial, the defense asked me: Was there grass on the property (it was out in the country, so...yes)?  Again, Prosecutors and Judges are terrified of being overturned on appeal.  I have actually made case law (normally a VERY bad thing for a cop), twice and in a positive way (I did things right).  In the Capital Murder trial I was on the stand for over an hour, and I swear I lost brain cells during the defense questioning (I was called as a Defense witness!).  Killer got life in less than 20 minutes of jury deliberation.  He murdered two parents in front of their 6 and 8 year old children, and then tried to kill them as well.  

Lawyer: "Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?"

Witness: "No."

Lawyer: "Did you check for blood pressure?"

Witness: "No."

Lawyer: "Did you check for breathing?"

Witness: "No."

Lawyer: "So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?"

Witness: "No."

Lawyer: "How can you be so sure, Doctor?"

Witness: "Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar."

Lawyer: "But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?"

Witness: "Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere."
