If you have hired a criminal defense attorney and he is requesting a bench trial, that is often a good time to get a second opinion.
A bench trial is a trial in front of a judge with no jury.

It is almost impossible to appeal from that verdict, even if the judge admits inadmissible evidence or finds guilt where no evidence exists.

Appellate courts will just assume the judge knows best.
Defense attorneys do this for two reasons:

1: they want to plead you guilty but you don't want to, so they figure this is like a slow plea that gets you a lesser punishment.

2: you have unsympathetic facts but a good legal defense.

So, first off, this is bullshit. There was no evidence that Arbery ever posed as a jogger to rob people (this makes no sense?)

But, the thing is, the McMichaels admitted they didn't see Arbery commit a crime, but they still chased him with their car and shot him.
If you chase someone with your car, that is aggravated assault. And you cannot be justified doing something once you commit a felony. You can't shoot an armed homeowner, for instance, if he tries to stop you from burglarizing his house.
Now let's say it turns out that the armed homeowner is a murderer.

That shit isn't relevant, because no set of facts about his past make it ok to break into his house and shoot him.

The first thing to note about Trump's WSJ lawsuit is that he filed it federally in Florida.

In almost every jurisdiction, filing a lawsuit federally helps you avoid the anti-SLAPP statute.

But not in Florida. Image
So, for instance, when Dan Bongino filed a lawsuit against the Daily Beast for saying he was fired, the Daily Beast filed an anti-SLAPP motion, even though it was in federal court.

And prevailed, because the suit was without merit.

Also, President Trump was required to give the WSJ five days notice before filing suit.

Obviously, by filing the next day, he made that impossible.

The remedy is dismissal.

And I suspect that means Trump pays the WSJ's legal fees. Image

So my client is a paraplegic. One day, a Fulton County police department asked him to come down and answer a few questions.

A woman alleged that he KICKED her door down and assaulted her.

And they were calling him down to arrest him, not talk to him.
The client had some pretty good objections. For instance, he is paraplegic. He is physically incapable of committing the crime as alleged.

Also, he had not seen the woman in ten years.

Ahhh, the police officer said, then how did she pick you out of a lineup?
The client says "yes, we did date a number of years ago, but I have been married for ten years. We did not just break up as she said"

There was a NYT op ed claiming that there's a good argument that the children of illegal immigrants don't get birthright citizenship.

Before I get into why it's wrong, first, I want to talk about all the ways we know that the 14th Amendment DOES provide such citizenship.
First and foremost, there's the text of the 14th amendment:

It says that to become a citizen, you need only be born and subject to jursidiction.

And children of illegal immigrants can indeed be sued, jailed, or taxed, as needed. Image
So if we're just applying the plain text of the amendment, and the ordinary meaning of jurisdiction, it's very strongly in support.

This is one of my favorite historical stories.

In 1938, a Polish Jew living in Paris, Herschel Feibel Grynszpan, learned that his family had been arrested and deported.

He entered the German embassy, claiming to be a spy with valuable information, and shot an embassy official, Ernst vom Rath.Image
The Germans, of course, claimed that this was an enormous outrage--just part of the historical plot of the Jews to destroy the Aryan race.

They planned a series of pogroms in response, to be carried out by government agents out of uniform, encouraging the public to join in. Image
Initially, he was to be tried in Paris. Once war began between Germany and France, the lawyer asked for an immediate trial, figuring that an acquittal was likely. But as the German army approached, Grynszpan escaped. Image
