Iā€™m a public defender and pro criminal justice reform. I also support Kamala Harris for president. The attacks on her record as DA and then AG fail for several reasons. 1. No matter what side of the vs. youā€™re on, a black woman in the criminal justice system will be attackedā€¦. In ways that their white counterparts wonā€™t. Katanji Brown Jackson was lambasted for being a public defender and labeled as being soft on crime. Harris is labeled as contributing to mass incarceration. These attacks came from the same peopleā€¦.

I watched the entire hearing in the Young Thug trial that lead to his attorney Brian Steele being held in contempt. The judge was completely wrong and out of line. Thereā€™s no other way to put it. The judge had an ex parte conversation with a witness who refused to testify. 1/ This is unethical and violates the defendantā€™s constitutional rights b/c they have the right to be present at every part of the trial. Also, the witness was actively under oath and testifying and it could lead to the appearance that heā€™s being influenced by the court. Also, 2/

Revisionist history. She shit in his bed, severed his finger, admitted to hitting him in audio recordings. Multiple ones that the jury didnā€™t even hear. Stop trying to rewrite history and conflate her with genuine domestic violence victims. She was the abuser. I HATE that every time a verified account of a woman being abused comes out, people try to shoe horn in Amber Heard. It is manipulative because people that arenā€™t informed will understandably think that Heard is just like Cassie or Megan. Itā€™s insulting to victims to do this

The newest Diddy lawsuit is very unprofessionally written. First, these pictures of the people involved is unnecessary and served no purpose other than to be entertainment for the general public. You donā€™t need to put pictures of parties . This one is particularly shady šŸ§µ Image 2nd, there are references to celebrities that pretends to redact their names while giving the reader overly obvious clues to who they are. Just name the parties. We know the Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj is Meek Mill. The wording is sophomoric and childish Image

Fiona Apple is in PG district court almost everyday. What she says about the pretrial services here is absolutely true and having practiced in other jurisdictions, Iā€™ve never seen anything like it. They do usurp the judges by refusing to release people ORDERED released I never talk about my job on here, except in the most general terms but as a public defender please listen to her. Courts must stay open to the public and easily accessible. Court Watch PG has helped many indigent clients and should be allowed to do so

This is some weird behavior to me. You seem to be really emotionally invested in this. Why donā€™t you make your own video reviewing the indictment and your own tweet thread in which you come up with your own opinions? In my opinion, she was murdered. I am entitled to my opinion In a colloquial discourse, people will often say ā€œmurderedā€ when referring to a person being killed another. Since when are you the Twitter language police. Get off my thread.

I answered him in the QT and thatā€™s why I would prefer if @LawSelfDefense would just DM me directly if he has questions because his followers apparently think theyā€™re going to get in on some dragging here. Everything I said was in the indictment is in the indictmentā€¦ Read all of the indictments. I did, and I reviewed them with other attorneys on my channel justice.gov/opa/pr/currentā€¦

Some pretty dark stuff was uncovered when reviewing the indictment of the officers in the Breonna Taylor case. šŸ§µ 1. Joshua Jaynes & Kyle Meany applied for a search warrant, under the penalty of perjury. In that SW they made three false allegations (a) Breonna Taylorā€™s ex boyfriend was receiving packages to her home (b) he lived in her residence and (c) the post office confirmed this

You do not have ā€œthe receiptsā€ @atlblog This is extremely disappointing. I emailed your editor, @stacizaretsky and sent her a copy of my tweet thread which was written ON 6/2/22 at SIX AM. An entire day before any draft was submitted. Your author took verbatim lines from me! Then while it was in your custody for a draft, it took on the same format and substance as the article I published the day before you published yours. According to the law and the facts? Just admit you steal black Womenā€™s work and Columbus the shit out of it.

Hereā€™s why Amber Heard lost. According to the law and the facts. šŸ§µ Johnny Depp sued Amber heard for defamation of character. So he had to prove by ā€œa preponderance of the evidenceā€ that AH published a statement, that was false, that harmed his reputation, that was about himā€¦ Because JD is a public figure, he had to prove that AH acted with ā€œactual maliceā€ in doing these things, which is a higher standard than what non public figures face. This means AH acted with a reckless disregard for the truth and didnā€™t just honestly believe her claimsā€¦.

Hi. My name is Natalie. Iā€™m a criminal defense attorney. In my free time I make videos on YouTube. Theyā€™re mostly just fun and educational videos about the law. In the past year+ Iā€™ve reached 75k subscribers. I didnā€™t start covering the #dariuscooks saga because I want clout šŸ§µ My #dariuscooks videos have the least amount of views of almost anything I cover. I spend way more time researching them than I do anything else, so it costs me time I could be filming more lucrative content. I donā€™t put brand deals on the videos either šŸ§µ
