Quote of the day, apropos of everything that we, as criminal defense attorneys, have to remember:
We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.
We will all be better attorneys if we remember this while dealing with clients and jurors.
Interested in your take on Scalia’s dissent in Indiana v. Edwards.
Believe it or not, I haven’t gotten around to reading it yet. It’s been a busy week; I’ll be posting about it later today. I take it you’re a fan?
I agree with the majority, but ever ever so slightly . . . . Scalia’s dissent is very well done, and is definitely worth a read.
Where I come out is that I don’t think that the states are required to have a circus go on, see, e.g., Scott Panetti.
