This is my blog. It is a personal blog. I write mainly about criminal law, but that doesn’t change the fact that this is a personal blog. I own the blog, I pay for it. I will rant; I will scream and yell if I feel like it. I do not have to be rational or logical or correct. Please read the legal disclaimer/privacy policy if you’re unsure of anything.
I also recognize that I can be wrong. Very often. Which is why, unlike some other blogs, comments are always open and I rarely, if ever, delete comments. You’re free to disagree with me and more often than not I will respond in the comments.
This is not directed at any one individual in particular, I just thought it prudent to remind my readers in light of the sensitive and controversial topics that have been covered here over the past few months.

Thank you for reading and I hope you continue to do so.
Yes, this was a rant.

We’re clear! Feel free to rant on. Isn’t that why people blog in the first place? That’s why I do it, anyway.
Dude. I love your blog. If right-minded individuals don’t appreciate you, so what??? Good rant.
Your OWN opinions? Imagine that…on a blog no less.
Good for you. Keep up your opinions. Your readers may not always agree, but they’ll respect you in the morning.
I wonder who pissed you off?!? And here I thought we were free to blog about what we really think… Blog on brother!!!

I was being honest when I said no one in particular. It’s just time to remind people a) that this is a personal blog, so I’ll say whatever I want and b) that my opinions have nothing to do with my employers.
Thanks for your blog, Gideon. I check on it every day, and always appreciate your insights and opinions even if (surprise, surprise!) I don’t agree with a particular piece.
Sincerely,
Anton
PS. to your fair and balanced news sources, I would add this.

Haha. You know, I seriously considered it… but I thought I should stick to local news outlets.
Dude or Dudette…
If you like public defenders or are one..then I say rant on. Tell it like it is.

Lol…this is “a public defender”. I’d say that’s a good bet that I am a public defender.
I want to tell it like it is, but I don’t want to be rude just for the sake of it. A friendly reminder now and then doesn’t hurt.
In addition to reading rants…I want to read about how to make better arguments in court …I want to read about the stories to the juries that seemed to impress (or otherwise)…I want to read about how to talk with clients…I want to read about the lives of PDs. Is this the place, or is there someplace else you would recommend. I’m a PD who loves the work and thinks it is meaningful…I want to be a better PD, a better trial lawyer…is this the website for me?
