To the extent that Z had some leverage he didn't utilize, I think it was not engaging in a public fight with NYPD—i.e., by retaining Tisch.

By brokering this fragile truce with NYPD and the billionaire-owned, corporate-conglomerate lobby, Z functionally gave NYPD license to maintain its status quo.

Holy shit

A big loss for the court. She has been a strong defender of the rights of women, marginalized groups and criminal accused.

She also happens an extremely lovely person (who somehow still remembers my name because I interviewed with her in 2020).

Your dog looks so much like mine it’s a bit uncanny

“Only 30 mins of social media per day November” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it but I’m going for it

A cease and desist probably doesn’t cost that much and really isn’t a heavy lift but if the person doesn’t cease or desist, it could be expensive to get them to stop.

I met him in June and he is spectacular.

Yeah, I just have to disagree on which version of events is more plausible. It also sounded like she talked to other jurors about it so it wasn’t immediate.

On the other, it sounded like the judge didn’t see anything happening (neither did the Crown). I have to think the juror misinterpreted.

Yeah I can’t explain that one other than to say that I don’t think the juror was lying on purpose, memory and eyewitness testimony is a weird thing. That just seems more plausible than a fairly successful lawyer throwing her career down the drain in such a brazen way for very little gain.

Maybe I’m just naive but I just don’t buy that the lawyer said what was reported. No lawyer would risk their bar membership so brazenly just to get an acquittal.

I have Covid and man, it sure would be frustrating if I was denied a Covid vaccine three weeks ago because idiots decided that I shouldn’t be able to get one (even by paying for it myself). Good thing that didn’t happen.
