He was LATER disbarred?? I'm sure you had the same thought...

Nice to know that if you accrue a laundry list of deceitful behavior the bar _will_ get around to disbarring you at some point 🙃

Oh gd that's worse than what happened to a family friend, the dental surgeon she's sueing for medical malpractice vanished off the face of the earth for slightly less time than triggers an automatic default judgement. They were able to contact his malpractice insurance, and so for a time the goals of both lawyers were aligned- finding the damn guy. Also he might have administered anesthesia without a current lisence to do so. I think the family friend has reported him to the state liscencing board, I don't have any updates but I wouldn't be suprised if the result is similar. He also has a history of moving his practice to different counties.

"We sent him a summons him for court, but we just kept finding damned plants, folding chairs, and dead ends."

Was your lawyer real life Lionel Hust?!

Your friend should buy a cheap Amazon (or something) crossbow. He's got the perfect alibi. "If I was going to use a crossbow wouldn't I use one of my own instead of that piece of shit?"

@@jb888888888 Then Amazon gets subpoenaed and he goes down in flames. Honestly, if you're looking for an alibi, the last place you look should be a major international retailer that undoubtedly keeps payment records long past when they're needed.

@@jb888888888 You're still failing to cover the paper trail, and now you're even leaving behind living witnesses who can potentially testify that you were both present in the story that day and purchasing the murder weapon. Honestly, I'm dealing with amateurs. If the goal is for some silly reason to commit a crime with a crossbow, the dude MAKES them. He would assuredly know how to make one from untraceable scraps in his own workshop that would fit the shoddiness requirement while also working well enough to get the job done. Problem, meet solution. No messy witnesses or paper trail. Gloves and what have you as well as a convenient and unintentional-looking breakage that caused the weapon to be abandoned at the scene, failed before it could load a second bolt. THAT is a proper red herring. Really stupid idea still since the police undoubtedly know the definition of a double bluff and would be suspicious enough to investigate given even a shred of a hint of a motive, but the false trail is as good as it can be while fulfilling the absurd requirements laid out.

@@jb888888888 "sir we have video of you at the grocery store taking the crossbow out of the Amazon Locker"

Lawyers are humans too. Some are good, some bad in every profession but any involved with the legal system get scrutinized much more closely. Same way cops, just takes a few bad ones to ruin public relations with an entire police department.

In principle I would agree with you. But which lawyer, exactly, was the "good" lawyer in this case?

@@ladyaj7784 none

It's almost like the law means jack shit to those privileged in this country.

Ironically the ATF is in charge of "regulating" firearms. Committed fraud and still kept their positions like it never happened. And other things.

They need to work something, and did get the education... Guy I went to highschool with ended up a low-level paralegal checking basic contracts: He went to university and passed msc in law, but was convicted of fencing a stolen bicycle during studying. Which meant he was banned from all jobs in the legal profession but the absolute bottom of the pile for 20 years. Sure he still works the legal profession, technically speaking, but in terms of career, he's done. Lifetime earnings, from an expected couple of millions to lower end of the median wage.

People in power should absolutely be held to higher standards and face harsher judgements, because their abuse of that power erodes the public's trust in it. Lawyers, doctors, cops, and presidents, for instance.

Absolutely agree, if you are a judge, lawyer, LEO, legislator etc. It should be one strike, otherwise the integrity of the entire system is compromised. This is one reason every aspect of the US legal system is broken. The people making the laws are money hungry power whores who care about keeping themselves rich and privileged, and nothing else. The people enforcing the laws are essentially the same, with more emphasis on power and privilege. The only thing that really varies is the scope. A senator can affect the entire country, a beat cop would only affect individuals in his locality. All of them instinctively understand that they are part of the same system and protect each other, so the system is almost impossible to change. They've made it so that it is nearly impossible to hold any individual in their entire ecosystem accountable.

✨ Corruption ✨

Yup 😨

The blue curtain is not for police alone

It's an exclusive club, and you're not in it!

Especially ironic considering how anti abortion a lot of judges are...

Would you like to quarrel about this?

Unless someone manages to get a crossbow to fire an actual arrow that was meant to be fired by a bow. Which, while impractical, is not impossible.

My friend was hit by a car while he was biking (and the car was at fault), and the driver tried to sue him. My friend countersued and won both cases. The lawyer was specialized in bike accidents, I think he took it pro-bono or offered to.

This is why I'm just gonna have a 80s or 90s F250 and not care about how it looks lol. Sucks that your car is probably mcfucked tho.

There’s a saying that someone who represents themselves pro se has a fool for a client.

Care to know what hydroplaning is considered under the law? Because that classification is why he filed a suit, and is a classification ALL 19 year old drivers SHOULD learn about before luck runs out. If the man had hired legal representation, there would have been a very good chance he would have won, although probably highly limited on the amount the court would have granted since there was no injury and apparently at most, minimal damage if any. When you hydroplane, in the rain or not, you are at that moment guilty of Failure to Control. The ticket can potentially be fairly costly, especially if you hit another vehicle and/or cause property damage. Posted speed limit was 55mph. My cruise control was set to 55mph. The left rear control arm broke on a straight section of road and in a split second my car was sideways and no amount of counter-steer was correcting it. I hit a large tree at that speed, driver's door first, that was growing directly in front of a residence. No property damage, I was the only vehicle involved. And the residents of the house did not want anything from me but to heal. When I finally started coming around a few days later, a state trooper arrived with a ticket. It mattered not that the cause was not due to my driving or that the very thing which holds a wheel straight had broken. The trooper's case to me "I managed to get to your accident scene without crashing, as did the ambulance." Even the second lawyer's office I contacted told me the best move is to just pay the ticket before the court date. I had no one to sue and $220 was far cheaper than the retainer fee alone. Oh yea... How was he to know anyone not related to him was in college? And exactly when did being a college student ever matter when it comes to civil cases? Do you seriously think you being in college is somehow special? As if you deserve immunity from your actions? You are SUPPOSED to educate in life dude. You don't get a cookie for doing what everyone capable is supposed to do. What's next? A statue for breathing? "Mommy, I went potty! I'm a good boy now huh?" That's what I felt when reading that sentence you left. You failed to control because you were not leaving a safe amount of space between you and the vehicle in front of you. And here in reality, in most cases, rear-ending another vehicle is usually the fault of the impacting vehicle. You do not deserve the luck you experienced if you ask me. For you do not understand why the entire accident was your fault. Absolutely NO accountability. Nothing but passing blame onto others. Be happy the one you hit did not obtain a minimum basic education. Watch your distance. Pay attention while driving a deadly weapon among other deadly weapons before you actually do hurt someone. You see all of those other vehicles on the road, correct? Well those are called other people. And you SHARE the planet with those other people. None of this is yours. Its all of ours. Stop being careless on OUR roadways.

That reminds me of a comic I drew back in the 90's, about a couple friends who up and moved to LA to try and make it as aspiring hip hop artists. And in one of the first issues they're standing around and happen to be outside a courthouse, commenting on how the crime is just through the roof. And one is like naahhh it's not so bad. The courthouse door bursts open and an old-school judge with black robes, the poofy white wig, and a gavel, comes sprinting down the stairs. He yanks open someone's car door, shouts "GUILTY, BITCH!" knocks her out with the gavel, throws her on the ground, then hops the curb and races off down the sidewalk, knocking over a mailbox and sending a guy on a wheelchair flying into traffic. Then the one friend looks to the other and goes "Oh and just what the hell was THAT?!"

He probably expected that he'd wake up soon.

I'd imagine a lot of that is lawyers asking questions that the couples should asked each other, long before marriage is proposed.

Yeah, I’ve heard a lot of aphorisms about how much of a mess family law/divorce cases can be. “The only people who win a divorce case are the attorneys.” “Criminal law involves the worst of people at their best, family law the best of people at their worst.”

One wonders why the public defender didn't press charges... ...heck, one wonders why the public defender went into the hallway at all...

Do remember, it was an unpaid 'vacation'. And a hefty fine ($50k is new car money). So not all roses and rainbows, but yeah, the lack of immediate arrest and charges is kind of a slap in the face. 🙄

It may not be entirely clear in his explanation, but he was removed by the FL Supreme Court. He is no longer a judge.

@@KamikazeSOF2 fair enough. didn't come across that when i was looking for the $50k fine, but you are correct, it does look like he isn't a judge anymore. either way, normal people still would've been treated much harsher.

As awful as that is on every level, one of the worst simple injuries you can get from a human is a bite, due to all the bacteria and stuff living in people's mouths. This includes someone punching someone else in the face and having the victim's teeth break the attacker's skin.

Hey! Fellow St. Louisian here! Thank you, because I've never heard of the Hurth case. That's, umm... an... interesting one.

I respectfully disagree as one St. Louisian to another. Nice to meet you by the way. I don't know if the McCloskeys are terrible people or so much about their antics. I just don't think their actions were entirely egregious as this video suggests. I'm not sure why Legal Eagle omitted or unbeknownst to him, never mentioned that it was not a lawful and peaceful protest. They tore down a large iron gate to a private estate and were on private property. Saying only that they, "walked by their house" is not an accurate account of the event. Or that the financial contributions to prosecute them were politically motivated. My point is not so much about the McCloskeys and more about the case being on this list. And about how a channel about the law failed to mention the distinction between brandishing a firearm to pedestrians and those illegally on private property. As, while not certain, in most States or even federally, usually changes things a lot. Weird thing about the bite. Never heard about that. Anyway, I live in Asia now. Hope all is well back in our hometown. Go Cards!

He should just let her bite his ass back. A tooth for a tooth.

I laughed harder than I should have...😂

The solution is to make the penalties for screwing around way higher. A 57 month sentence for what could be RICO is pathetic. The judge who was allowed to get his license back is pathetic. Given the power the judiciary wields (and by extension, lawyers), the penalties for misconduct need to be unrecoverable. Life without parole would be a start.

It's not really any means necessary, though. That's why there are rules of the court. I think the stigma comes more from the fact that we, in America, believe that every person deserves a fair defense. So attorneys must defend even the most vile and disgusting people. Now I still believe that's the correct way to handle things. I just think that's why attorneys get a bad rep.

Good thing that's not the job description.

They have ethics and court rules they must abide by. Stop watching so many movies.

I object your objection! The average American wouldn't know what an arbalest is, the defense is trying to use obscure language to distract the jury from the point.

Also, crossbows do not fire arrows, they shoot bolts. Clearly, if an "arrow" was found at the scene, it could not have come from the defendant's crossbow.

@@AGrumpyPanda the average American doesn't know what Habeus Corpus is.

@@johnjessop9456 the only time it's useful to know is when you're looking for the form.

@@Bacteriophagebs Counterpoint: The average layman does not know the difference between crossbow bolts and bow arrows - therefor, the use of the term itself should be deemed irrelevant and, if need be, examination of the projectile should be conducted to deduce the means by which it is intended to be shot. Additionally, even then, one should not assume that the arbalest used proper ammunition, it is quite plausible one could use a crossbow to shoot a bow arrow - improper, but doable. In either case, how many people are there who would have both one of the types of ammunition (bolt or arrow, whichever expert examination determines it to be), the means to shoot it, *and* the motive to commit such an act? Determining a criminal is a process of extensive investigation and elimination (or, it *should* be).

Honestly, yes.

Yes.. If I remember that one correctly wasn't one of the judges from Louisville KY? That was a hot mess.

WOW, that sounds entertaining! 🤣

What the hell???

It was actually three judges in a White Castle parking lot. They had originally gone to a strip club, but it was closed. One of the judges gave a random car driving past the middle finger, and it parked and the two men inside came out and started fighting the judges. It ended with the driver shooting two of the judges and sending them to the hospital in critical condition.

Shot dead?

Disagree on civil engineer. There have been many situations of mistakes being made, then improvements being made by the entire industry

Over penalizing mistakes leads to cover-ups instead of admissions and improvements. Knowingly committing crimes is not a mistake, however.

I am a handyman, so I take direct exception to this comment. I have refused to accept any payment from a client who was unhappy with my work, because I stand behind my work. There's plenty of specialty contractors who perform atrociously, destroy customer property, and then refuse to make things right, so it ain't the category of worker, it's the person doing the work. The bigger takeaway from your comment is that if you've needed a lawyer that frequently, YOU are most likely the problem, not the lawyers.

I had one bad experience, and got screwed over by him. Lawyers are like mechanics, some are better than others.

private private. Truer words have never been spoken. Had a handy-man/roofer do a complete roof reno last year. Said it would cost 11k, signed a contract with him that stipulated a done by date, and all the things I needed done and in what order since it is my home and office. They started, worked really hard at tearing the old off, and getting the sheathing put back, then disappeared for a month...during NOVEMBER. I had to climb up and put the moisture barrier on just so my house would not leak. I finally got him and his team back, 3 or 4 hours at a time every few days. When I made my first payment everything was groovy. Second half went to crap. Called a lawyer, they were uninterested said those cases are hard to do. Called the state AG. He said I should put a complaint in, which I did. Have not heard back. Called several times, keep getting the run around. Ended up paying another crew to finish the job. They were to take pictures before they started so I had proof of what the other crew messed up. They swear they did, but lost them. So I am now out half the original 11k, and another 8k for that second crew to fix what they first crew effed up. Even the 2nd crew was hard to get onsite they would come one day do 3 hours, then a week later come two days in a row. It was and still is maddening. If lawyers are half that bad, I feel sorry for anyone who has to use them. Obviously I know not all are...but enough to make it difficult.

If you go through enough lawyers to have "back luck with them", you ain't livin' right 🤨
