US Prosecuting Liberian Torturer
Witnesses described horrific torture techniques involving electric shocks, molten plastic, lit cigarettes, hot clothes irons, bayonets and even biting ants shoveled onto people's bodies. Prisoners were often kept in water-filled pits covered by heavy iron grates and barbed wire.The prosecution is seeking 147 years.
His defense? Guess.

Wanna Be a Judge? Better Get that Name on the Ballot.
"My own college roommate didn't vote for me because she said she didn't see my name on her ballot"As I am sure all of us are shocked to find out, Ms. Levey's hopes of being elected Circuit Judge were dashed.
Look, I don't know if Ms. Levey's chances of actually getting elected were high or low. However, there is one thing I do know: if your name isn't on the ballot - no matter what convoluted, cock-eyed, money-saving scheme causes it not to be there - it's dang hard to win an election. I hope she wins her civil suit.

Is "Tubes" Stevens' Conviction Falling Apart?
The complaint had sharp words about one supervising agent, accused of getting too close to sources, including Allen. It said agents took gifts and accepted favors from sources and revealed confidential grand jury information and investigative practices to sources and reporters.As well, Anderson is saying there was an agreement for immunization again:
And the complaint said that prosecutors deliberately withheld and covered up evidence favorable to Stevens during his month-long trial, contradicting their statements to the judge at the time that their errors in not producing material to Stevens were accidental.
David Anderson, the government witness at the center of the storm involving ex-state Sen. Jerry Ward and allegations of misconduct in U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens' trial, has written a new letter to the judge in the Stevens case asserting again that prosecutors promised him and his friends immunity.Still, not everything is going Tubes' way. The Alaska Bar is trying to take his license.

Hurricane Hector Winds Down
After a day and half of chewing up everything he could get his mouth on, terrifying my 90 pound labrador retriever, and learning not to do the same thing to my 15 pound cat (much hissing and a couple near miss nose-swipes), Hector finally runs out of energy.
Hector btw was named not after Priam's son, but after the verb. He spent a solid day plus hectoring my poor lab.

What the?!? Duquesne Law School Punished After Success by University President Charles J. Dougherty
Well, if you are retired Rear Admiral Donald Guter, it gets you fired by University President Charles Dougherty.
Yes, I know it's not a crime, but it is unconscionable. US News has Duquesne Law School ranked in the 4th tier. From all appearances, Admiral Guter was moving things in the right direction. He should have gotten recognition and raises, not the boot.
University President Dougherty is responsible for the loss of reputation to Duquesne Law School that comes from such an arbitrary firing (the article makes it seem to actually be a power play of some sort). Hopefully, for the students at Duquesne the improvements will remain despite the firing of Dean Guter. One can only hope.

And the field has no standard guidelines. Each program has its own philosophy; so, for that matter, do individual counselors.

Little Ole Mean Anti-Intellectual Me
What a load of bunk.
Sure, I have to more practical about it now, but I value my ability to think and discuss ideas and ideals with others. If anything, law school was the beginning of the limitations on my intellectualism. My undergrad experience at Centre was amazingly good. There's a reason Forbes ranked Centre 13th among all the colleges/universities in the United States (ahead of MIT, Stanford, Brown, Smith etc. - I've already crowed insufferably about this here). My senior year I was translating and comparing passages from the Quran and the Hebrew Testament (published in a school journal). Classes which stick out in my mind are Ancient Greek, History of Western Religion, 2 "Classics" courses (roughly, one class on the ancient world and one on European culture), and a particularly enjoyable advanced sociology course about the construction of "modernism" and "post-modernism." I've been a few places around the world and done a few things, but as for pure intellectual pursuit nothing so far has surpassed my time at Centre.
Then came law school. We were supposed to read a book before arriving. I did what I would have for a class at Centre. I dissected the book, pinned it down, and examined every theory in it. I had the major theme down pat; I had the secondary theme down pat; I had the chapters' themes all laid out. My law school roommates freaked out a little when they saw this because they had barely skimmed the book - the guy from Morehouse (another school which deserves its rep - I've personally never met a Morehouse graduate who did not impress me) actually went back and did more work on it because of me. Then, during orientation, we got split up into groups and went to classrooms with a professor to discuss the book. The professor in my group did what seemed like a 7 hour riff on the title of the book. Didn't discuss a single theme in the book - not one. It was painfully obvious that he hadn't read and didn't have anything more than an extremely shallow understanding of it. Welcome to law school.
Then there was the day in my first semester that my extremely well respected contracts professor proclaimed to us that the conjunctive "and" is the same as the disjunctive "or." He proclaimed it as a doctrine of interpretation and that was that. No discussion of the conditions when this might be true (scrivener's error or inclusive disjunctions) - it just was. Anyway, it was about this time that I realized that (1) they really weren't trying to help us think, they were teaching us to blindly ape what we were told, (2) the amount of education we were getting was staggeringly small (the convention of having a professor discuss one case with one student for one hour to get the one pertinent sentence out of the case condenses a couple weeks of education into a semester), and (3) the only thing law school taught people to be was law professors. And that malarky about teaching students to "think like lawyers" was about the purest line of BS I've ever heard. I could think when I got to law school; I needed to be taught the tools and conventions for applying those thoughts in the practice of law and during my 1 year of education (compressed into three years of law school) teaching along those lines was pretty skimpy.
So, I joined the rugby club and gave law school the requisite amount of attention it deserved after that. Sadly, once I started ignoring the professors, skipping the worst classes, and reading the black-letter law books from the book store rather than the actual text books my grades went up (the only class this backfired in was a seminar on estate taxes wherein I made the mistake of picking up a couple books from the library on the subject which used the same terms to mean different things from the approved text book and argued different theories and got me so screwed up that I still don't know how I passed that class). Then I graduated, learned more law through self study (Micro-Mash) than I had at law school, passed the Bar, and began to learn the tools and conventions of practice by observing and actually participating in court and trials.
......
BTW: I have been purposefully not putting my law school's name in this post because I don't want them to turn up in a google search and it appears that my law school has been taking steps to greatly improve itself. As well, talking to other practicing lawyers I get the same opinion from just about all of them about their schools as well so it would be unfair to single my school out.

And the New Private Judicial Review Process Starts to Come Off the Rails
And now, members of the General Assembly weigh in:
But lawmakers aren't sure the system is worth the strings that came attached: a strict order to keep the evaluations confidential.And, even if the Supreme Court's order holds up publicly, might there not be untraceable leaks?
Releasing the evaluations to the public is prohibited. That doesn't sit well with some.
"I've got the Supreme Court saying I can't do it and I'd be in contempt of court, and I've got my own personal commitment of being an elected member to my constituents that I feel I have a constitutional duty to share the information with," said Del. David Albo, R-Fairfax, at a meeting with court representatives and members of the House and Senate courts committees.
House Majority Leader Morgan Griffith, R-Salem, questioned whether the evaluations would be exempt from the state Freedom of Information Act.
"Because it's a part of the public process of re-election, that's why I don't believe that any personnel exemption would apply," he said.
In other words, the Supreme Court may have issued an unenforceable order.
When this came about, I balked. First of all, the smaller the jurisdiction the less likely to produce truthful replies. After all, in the many rural jurisdictions in Virginia wherein there are 3-5 attorneys in the whole county (or less) and everybody knows everybody, the judge is going to have a good shot at finding out who said what about him. If the judge has a terrible, tyrannical god-complex while on the bench, but is a swell guy when he goes before the General Assembly, the young idealistic attorney who told the truth is going to be in a heap of trouble when the General Assembly votes the judge back into office.
On the other hand, in jurisdictions where lawyers feel there is a sufficient number of attorneys that they won't be identifiable or don't care because there are 8 judges and you only appear in front of the bad one every 6 months or so, my concern shifts. I'm more worried about cherry picking. Let's assume 200 evaluations are submitted: 160 basically say Judge Smith is average, 20 say he is spectacular (the guys who graduated with him 20 years ago from W&L), and 20 say he is the Devil incarnate (the Jaywalking Defense specialists who think he is biased because of his 75% conviction rate). If there is a heated battle in the General Assembly over who is going to be seated next in this judicial circuit I foresee these letters being used as weapons on both sides, with everyone using the parts most favorable to their position and ignoring any trend in the entirety of the evaluations.
The Supreme Court is trying to stop this, but I have to say that I think the General Assembly is going to win if a showdown comes. After all, it writes the laws.

How Will Budget Cuts Affect Virginia Criminal Punishment Systems?
Kaine also outlined a policy change to save money by reducing the prison population -- specifically, by not jailing people for minor technical violations of parole, and by allowing inmates convicted of nonviolent crimes to be released up to 90 days early.My questions are two-fold:
. . .
Kaine's latest proposed round of cuts -- the fourth since 2007 -- would:
• cut budgets for the Virginia State Police, local police, local sheriff's offices and commonwealth's attorneys offices by 7 percent;
. . .
Republicans also questioned Kaine's proposed policy change to let nonviolent prisoners out up to 90 days early, which would save an estimated $5 million a year. Currently the director of the Department of Corrections can authorize release up to 30 days early.
"One of the advances of the last 13 years was the abolition of parole," said Sen. Ken Cuccinelli, R-Fairfax, one of three GOP lawmakers seeking the party's nomination to run for attorney general.
"This breaks with the public trust."
1. What are "minor technical violations of parole?"
First, we don't have parole in Virginia (unless your conviction was prior to 1995). We have probation violations. Yeah, I know: picky, picky, picky . . . Still, if the governor only plans to affect people on parole it's going to be a pretty small number.
I realize there may be a number of small probation violations which could fall under this denomination. However, it's been my experience that probation officers don't usually bring people to court for their first minor violation, or even their second - quite possibly even the third. Part of this is giving people enough rope to hang themselves. Part of it (at least where I am at) seems to be sympathy and an actual desire to try to help people. Part of it is that judges will not look favorably upon efforts to bring every little piddly thing into court. There is usually a string of minor violations which come to the point that they are cumulatively at least a mid-level probation violation.
I'm just going to assume that the "technical" part of "minor technical violations of parole" is just a fudge word. The definition of "technical violation" is going to vary from person to person and place to place. Is it a technical violation if the probationer never checks in with the probation office and avoids the attempts of the probation officers to contact him? How about if the probationer refuses to pay his restitution? His fines and costs? If he fails a drug test? Two? Three? Six? In the end "technical" just means that whoever makes the decision can draw the line concerning minor probation violations wherever he wants to.
2. I'm also curious as to what the 90 days will affect. Anyone who does any work in Virginia courts can tell you that it can be pretty hard to get more than 90 days incarceration. Since misdemeanor sentences are halved (50% of sentenced time is served) a defendant actually has to have been sentenced to 6 months in jail to serve a 90 day sentence. Go visit your local Virginia District Court on the day of its busiest criminal docket. Watch to see how many actually get 6 months. It ain't going to be a large portion of the defendants. I just can't picture all the jail populations shrinking to 10-15 guys who were the very few who got more than 6 months on a misdemeanor.
As for lower felonies, most simple felonies (drug possession, larceny, destruction of property, forgery) already require that the defendant have at least a prior conviction or two (or many simultaneous convictions) before Virginia's sentencing guidelines require more than probation. Those who do have the priors to get time serve 85% of that time. So, if my math is right, a defendant must get more than 105 days - 3 1/2 months - or she would take a trip to the jail and be released for having 90 days or less to serve.
I just don't see things actually working that way. If anybody has an idea how this is actually planned to work out drop me a line.

More on the Faking Probable Cause in Texas
Comments:
(3) How disingenuous of you, you cherry-pick a block of text from "section 37.9" that APPEARS to give credence to your bizarro world position that a non-crime could be prosecuted. But if one goes to that section of the law, one finds that the section you quote actually applies to a crime actually having first been commited. Your choice to selectively misread the law to fit your fantasy of putting someone in jail because cops are stupid and easily mislead to a non-crime aside, your selective reading actually says nothing like you want it to say. What it is actually about is changing evidence that would prove a crime had been committed to attempt to cover the actual crime. With no superimposed actual crime, simply constructing a situation that some idiot cops misread as criminal activity is not, by itself, a crime.Ooh! Cool, a challenge!
(4) Sec. 15.01. CRIMINAL ATTEMPT. (a) A person commits an offense if, with specific intent to commit an offense
Another intentional misread to support your fantasy. No intent to commit a crime was involved, so no offense occured. The rest of you intentional misleading "read" is moot.
Did I cherry pick a block of text from 37.09? Well, I picked the block of text which I thought applicable. I even discussed how I wasn't sure how the statute applied because of some of the language under 37.09(a). However, one thing I'm absolutely sure of is that the statute does not require an offense to have been committed. How do I know this? Primarily because I know Texas has applied this statute to cases wherein there has been no offense committed.
In Waldrop v. the State, 2007 (no. 06-06-00073-CR, Court of Appeals of Texas, Texarkana), a woman was convicted of feeding her children a story about their father sexually abusing them and then having them repeat the story while she recorded them. The children told the police what their mother made them do and the story was proven false. No underlying offense here. Father didn't do anything. Mom's crime was the making and presenting of the false evidence. There was no crime until she did this and violated 37.09.
This case also seems to settle my question as to whether this statute can be applied if it is done prior to an investigation. The mother created the evidence first and then presented it to start the investigation. Although, the case does limit its discussion to "presentment" and I guess once you've contacted the officers you've started the investigation so presenting them with the tape happened during the investigation.
In Delapaz v. the State, 2007 (no. 05-05-00660-CR, Court of Appeals of Texas, Dallas), a police officer was convicted under 37.09 because he made false statements on affidavits to get search warrants. Again, there is no commission of a crime prior to the officer making and presenting the false affidavits.
(Sorry I couldn't link directly to the cases; I can't find them except through a pay service)
So, it's clear that no crime need be committed. Whence comes the confusion? Well, as best I can figure, it's based in 37.09(d):
(d) A person commits an offense if the person:The problem is that this has no bearing on 37.09(a) whatsoever. Admittedly, I had to read it a time or two before I caught the difference, but (a) and (d) lay out entirely different crimes. 37.09(d) happens without an investigation or hearing; it makes illegal the mere act of destroying etc. any evidence at any time prior to an investigation. 37.09(a) criminalizes acts that take place once the authorities have become involved. As Waldrop demonstrates, it also has the purpose of punishing those who create evidence out of whole cloth when no offense has occurred.
(1) knowing that an offense has been committed, alters, destroys, or conceals any record, document, or thing with intent to impair its verity, legibility, or availability as evidence in any subsequent investigation of or official proceeding related to the offense
As for the possibility of an attempt charge, if the intent was to present physical evidence of a marijuana grow house to the police, knowing it to be a false marijuana grow house, with the intent to affect the police investigation or - as proclaimed - to affect a different trial, then the attempt is there. In fact, the attempt may be the stronger case because the "kopbusters" claimed it was trying to affect another trial's result. That case is probably closed so it cannot be affected (making the charge actual unconvictable). However, that does not mean they didn't attempt it.

Police Faked With False Grow House
What Crime in Faking Probable Cause?
Comments:
(1) "So, is it illegal to make it appear *I* may have committed a crime to expose the crimes of another? Maybe the laws you cited were meant to keep people from "framing" others so those others are not falsely arrested or convicted? Wouldn't this be similar to where the police pretend to sell stolen property to catch a potential thief?"Let's answer #2 first: Nope, can't charge someone with attempting something they didn't attempt.
(2) "There would be no attempt to commit the crime of growing marijuana because the Kopbusters were only attempting to grow Christmas trees?"
On to the questions in #1: It's not really a crime to make it appear as if you have broken the law unless you are doing it "with intent to affect the course or outcome of the investigation or official proceeding." This probably means that the statute only applies if you do it in a manner meant to mislead officers or a court. Technically, police pretending to sell stolen property to a fence could fall under this statute, because it is meant to influence a court, but it will never be prosecuted. The statute may be broad enough to encompass that behavior, but what prosecutor is going to decide that's the intent the State legislature had when it passed the statute? Finally, the purpose of the statute could be several things. I think the anti-framing purpose is pretty clear. As well, the statute's intent is probably to keep someone from manufacturing evidence that would deceive others into thinking she was not guilty. Finally, the statute means to keep law enforcement from wasting time and resources.
Look for another post about this subject at about 1:30 pm.

Cutting Prosecutorial Budgets to the Bone
Kentucky is facing a $456 million dollar budget shortfall and it's slashing everywhere. Bluegrass Politics reports that prosecutorial offices across the Commonwealth will have to cut 4% out of their budgets by the end of the fiscal year. They are going to have to choose between three options by 01 January 2009: short term lay-offs for everyone in the office, long-term layoffs for select members of the office, or salary reductions. The short-term layoffs are being labeled "furloughs" and require each and every member of the office to take 3 weeks unpaid leave with the office having the choice of just closing for 3 weeks or staggering people so that the office is merely understaffed.
The Mountain Eagle, a prominent local paper in Eastern Kentucky, laid out the cuts a little more precisely. Commonwealth Attorney offices have three options: cut staff salaries 14-16%, one week "furloughs" (up to three weeks), or firing people (which is being characterized as "laying off"). The Eagle spoke to a Commonwealth Attorney who filled in some of the blanks. He is going to have to go with the furloughs because he has to do everything he can to keep hold of his staff. Before any of this his employees had already had their salaries cut by 4% as of 01 July 08, had been denied their usual raise of 3-5%, and had their health insurance premiums increased (added to another 4% cut over 4 months it works out to about a 25% loss in pay from employees who all earn less than $25,000). If any of his employees quit, retire, or take unemployment he loses them permanently and in an office with 2 part-time and 2 full-time employees that's a massive loss. Another interesting point is that the Commonwealth Attorney says the governor is not allowing staggered furloughs (although their length can be lessened if the Commonwealth Attorney can find money somewhere else). This means that if the furloughs go forward the Commonwealth Attorney himself will be the only person available for anything that goes on, no matter how many courts are running.
The article should be available here as of 24 December 08 - under 10 December 2008.
Yeesh. I grew up in Kentucky, and, since it will always be "home", the draw to return has been strong at times. And yet, there are times I am so glad that I am tied to Virginia by that bar exam. If there'd been reciprocity I might be somewhere around Lexington wondering if I was going to have a job much longer.

What Crime in Faking Probable Cause?
Ok, when is it a crime to "create probable cause"?Okay, I'll give it a shot. First of all, let me give the normal cautionary admonishments:
I AM NOT A TEXAS ATTORNEY. I have not read case law from Texas and have never appeared before a Texas court. Therefore, this is a lay opinion, not a legal opinion. Citing me to a Texas judge would probably carry about as much weight as citing Bob, your mechanic, and maybe less, 'cuz Bob lives in Texas and votes for your judge when elections roll around.
Now that the preliminaries are out of the way, looking at the Texas statutes, I see two possible charges. The first is
Sec. 37.08. FALSE REPORT TO PEACE OFFICER OR LAW ENFORCEMENT EMPLOYEE. (a) A person commits an offense if, with intent to deceive, he knowingly makes a false statement that is material to a criminal investigation and makes the statement to:This would apply to the anonymous phone call which was made to start the ball rolling.
(1) a peace officer conducting the investigation; or
(2) any employee of a law enforcement agency that is authorized by the agency to conduct the investigation and that the actor knows is conducting the investigation.
(b) In this section, "law enforcement agency" has the meaning assigned by Article 59.01, Code of Criminal Procedure.
(c) An offense under this section is a Class B misdemeanor.
The second is
Sec. 37.09. TAMPERING WITH OR FABRICATING PHYSICAL EVIDENCE. (a) A person commits an offense if, knowing that an investigation or official proceeding is pending or in progress, he:This would apply to the entire setup.
. . .
(2) makes, presents, or uses any record, document, or thing with knowledge of its falsity and with intent to affect the course or outcome of the investigation or official proceeding.
. . .
(c) An offense under Subsection (a) or Subsection (d)(1) is a felony of the third degree.
Obviously, the false report is the stronger charge. It requires a false statement material to a criminal investigation, but does not limit when the investigation may begin. If the investigation begins because of the false statement it's material (BTW, this is the way that Virginia's Filing a False Report statute works as well).
On the other hand, the fabricating physical evidence evidence charge requires reading some case law to clarify. It would depend upon how the courts interpret "pending investigation." In particular, in a time when there are Drug Investigation Units everywhere, is there a continuos, ongoing investigation of drug growth, distribution and use? If so, there's a felony. In fact, this statute might also apply because the proclaimed reason for the falsified evidence was to influence the result of another drug trial. Of course, the catch is that the other drug trial is over. Even if either of those two theories do not apply, there could be a charge of attempt to fabricate evidence:
Sec. 15.01. CRIMINAL ATTEMPT. (a) A person commits an offense if, with specific intent to commit an offense, he does an act amounting to more than mere preparation that tends but fails to effect the commission of the offense intended.Heck, according to subsection (c) you could charge the attempt right along with the offense itself.
. . .
(c) It is no defense to prosecution for criminal attempt that the offense attempted was actually committed.
(d) An offense under this section is one category lower than the offense attempted, and if the offense attempted is a state jail felony, the offense is a Class A misdemeanor.
Those are the possibilities that pop out at me. Someone with experience in Texas crimlaw could probably think of more (or maybe tell me that I'm full of malarky). If anyone's out there with a more nuanced understanding of Texas law please feel free to fill in the gaps.

2) Specifically going to a school, hunting down the school resource officer who gave you a ticket for parking in the bus lane, screaming obscenities at him, calling him a racist, and threatening to kick him in the groin isn't disorderly conduct.
3) Two guys break into a house. One of them is shot dead by the home owner. The other is convicted of reckless homicide. Now, that's creative prosecution.
4) Who knew? Apparently, Virginia has been combing through old cases trying to prove people not guilty of that which they were convicted. And now "volunteer lawyers" are to notify inmates of "potential DNA evidence."
5) "Are Blagojevich tapes enough evidence to convict?" You're kidding. You've got to be kidding. Please tell me you're kidding.
6) Forget about the governor with the unpronounceable name. The Kentucky Governor is sending out illegal Christmas cards!!!
7) The yearly, stock story about how Texas and Virginia have the most executions. I think they just dust off the story, change a couple numbers and dates and send it to the printer.

Police Faked With False Grow House
In Odessa, Texas, a group calling itself "Kopbusters" builds a grow house - complete in every detail needed to grow marijuana. Then they put fir saplings in it instead and turn it on, waiting for police to respond. They did.
Odessa Texas, The police that Barry once worked with kicked down the door to a fake grow house where their attorney was handcuffed, later to be released.Why'd they do this? Because, somehow, making the police look foolish is going to get another case, wherein a woman was found guilty of dealing pot, re-opened. I'm not sure how that's supposed to happen, but that's their given reason.
. . .
They busted the cops by making a fake grow room that pumped out a lot of heat and waited.
The cops, instead of doing what they should have done, went straight for a search warrant and kicked the door in.
link
I am curious as to what the police "should have done" rather than show probable cause and get a search warrant. A knock-and-talk? Nobody was in the house. For all we know they tried. I doubt it, because they wouldn't have wanted to warn an illegal grow operation, but they may have.
"Kopbusters" clearly set up a probable cause situation. Heck, if you listen to the main guy being interviewed on TV he even says they used "encrypted emails" and "Wal*Mart blowup cellphones" while setting this up. They did everything criminals would do except they substituted plants at the end of it all. Furthermore, Geo, over at Sleepless, says there was also an anonymous tip. Anonymous tip + corroborating high energy use + corroborating empty house > probable cause.
Sleepless in Midland has a link to a YouTube video of the news report of this incident. However, here's a video of the actual search:
It ain't exactly the KGB breaking down the door at 3 am to drag someone off to the gulag. It's 5 pm and three police enter. They don't seem to have broken in the front door; in fact, it looks like a key is swinging from the door when they enter. Video doesn't show whether they knocked or not. They do a sweep of the house. They find the shirt and poster and then all the cameras. Pictures are taken of the shirt and poster (evidence for whatever Texas' statute they will eventually prosecute these people under). In the end the police are chuckling about everything.
I don't see this as damning. Embarrasing? Maybe. At least we know that's the spin that's being aimed for. Still, I don't see police doing a search of a house that walks like a duck and quacks like a duck causing any change because someone put a lot of effort into dressing a goose up like a duck.

3: When you admit to committing adultery (in order to challenge a law you don't like) you can get prosecuted.
4: Prosecute them all - let God sort'em out. Or maybe just the people who vote you out of office.
5: No, you cannot just decide you are an attorney and undertake to defend someone charged with molestation.
6: Japan has revamped their criminal justice system so that each trial will have 3 professional and 6 lay judges to decide guilt or innocence and impose punishment. That's an interesting procedure. I wonder how it will work out in reality.

Virginia Court of Appeals
A minor fender bender does not give rise to an inference that the hitter should have known the hittee was injured. This is especially true when the hittee gets out of her car displaying no visible injuries and talks to the hitter before he flees.
Whitehead v. Commonwealth (no. 0040-08-1): Magical Dog Non-Search and Subsequent Physical Search of Car Passengers:
Drugs found on right-rear passenger after dog alerted at driver's side door admissible as car was searched first leaving passengers as only other place for drugs to be found.
Note: While I think the primary line of reasoning in this case is legitimate, there are some strange things in the dicta. For no discernible reason, in footnote 1 the Court absolutely fawns over the magical infallibility of dogs in their performance of non-searches. It ain't so.
The Court also distinguishes a Maryland opinion at least partially by the order in which the passengers of a car were searched. It's not really relevant (if the search of the last passenger is constitutional the search of the 2d should be as well); it's just something that's a little weird.

Snow, Snow Everywhere and Not a Drop to Drink
This is a video of the snow falling on my front yard. Most of today was like this and I know because I had to take the day off work because the landlord was sending someone to fix my water. That's right, I've had no water since last Wednesday night. Thank goodness I bought a gym membership last month or I'd have had no place to get a shower. Still, I'm pretty much out of dishes and laundry.
And still, I have no water. I understand why it was hard for my landlord to get someone to do it over Thanksgiving weekend, as everyone was on holiday vacation. However, someone was supposed to come fix the well pump today at 9 a.m. At about 10 the landlord came by and realized that the person he'd spoken to wasn't there. He also told me that rather than fixing the pump to the well he was going to have them just hook the house to the town's water. Not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand, I'll not need to use Iron Out on my white laundry anymore. On the other hand, I'll have to actually pay for my water now.
Landlord promised that water would be hooked up "by this evening." They were going to run the pipe over the ground today and then come back tomorrow to dig the ditch and bury the pipe. Sometime after 1 p.m. Landlord came back and gave me the number to call in town to start paying for the water after hooked up and told me they had a different guy getting things put together. Then about 3:30 the guy who was supposed to be fixing the water up came to the door and told me that it wasn't going to happen today. They were called too late and he didn't think they should run the pipes with water in them above the ground because it was 2 degrees above freezing right now and the pipes would certainly freeze over night "and then we'll never get them unfroze and buried tomorrow."
So, here I sit, grungy and not very happy about having wasted a day off for no reason. I can't take tomorrow off because I have several cases. I hope they can get me hooked up without me being here to let them in the house because I ain't leaving the house unlocked.
AAAAAaaarrrgg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In case anyone out there needs this warning: This ain't legal advice. Everything in the blog is off the cuff and no one goes back and reads all the cases and statutes before blogging. The law may have changed; cases misread and misunderstood two years ago can still lead to a clinging misperception. Courts in your county, city, or State probably don't operate as described herein. Feel free to be inspired, but YOU MUST ALWAYS DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH OR HIRE A COMPETENT ATTORNEY TO DO SO because I haven't.
