Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 30, 2013

That sounds about right.

The defendant looks like an upstanding sort to me…Well let’s get this trial underway…..It’s show time, “Break a leg!…and maybe a couple of thumbs if yose can’t make the vig…..”

Somehow I don’t think that this is small-claims court.

Depends if he came from Guantanamo Bay … altho that might be seen as profits from criminal activity. hang on, isn’t that what his attorney is altready talking about … ?

Does the name Casey Anthony ring any bells ? How about Jodi Arias ?

He smiled at me in the hallway, I think he’s cute, and innocent of course.

If he is in Guantanamo Bay, he is accused of doing something against the US Government or a US superpower(corporation). Most, if not all, were apprehended outside the country in which they claim citizenship, are NOT US citizens and were NOT in the US at time of capture.

I am all for the BOR, but it should not apply in these cases.

Besides the movie rights, there is always the option at the time their client dies to take the client’s estate into probate, much to the consternation of the client’s surviving family.

And why we despise lawyers. Except when we need one of course.

attorneys who represent solely themselves should be disbarred

It’s a lose-win deal. You lose – I win.

Yeah. We used to have nothing but contempt for countries which treated their people that way.

Times change.
