Legal Commentary

Monday Night TV and Open Thread

By Jeralyn

I'm finally done with court today, and about to watch the finale of the Bachelor Pad (even though I know who wins.) It should be fun to see what the pros from DWTS can do with them in such a short time.

There's also a new episode of "Weeds."

I was also out at the federal detention center earlier and ran into a co-defendant from a drug case I tried in 1992. We recognized each other immediately. (He's now housed at the minimum security prison next door to the detention center.)It was a pretty routine drug case (in my view, but my client was acquitted.) 19 years later, and he told me he has 9 more to do -- he got 28 years. What a needlessly long sentence. On the plus side, he's lost about 50 pounds, doesn't look any older except for gray hair, was in good spirits and told me he runs 10 miles every day.

This is an open thread, all topics welcome.
