It's my fan theory that Randazza took Nick's case as revenge for Nick calling his law partner a faggot and is laughing his ass off milking the dumb fool for every cent he can.
He might manage to create new bad case law, or at least persuasive authority for defendants, like he did the last time, though.
Honestly I think some variation of this will be his defense when he goes to trial. It won’t work and hopefully he’ll get as much prison time as possible.
I dunno, by filing appeal has he functionally delayed his case? It'd be a shame if we lost out on LCTY 2024 because he prevented the body cam footage from being released till after voting closes.
I think by far the funniest outcome would be if this appeal was granted. Nick's ego would explode. No amount of tardwrangling would be able to prevent him from gloating and owning the alogs. Then at the actual Franks hearing he would, of course, be blown the fuck out and be right back in the same position.
Ominous and unprofessional. Reading between the lines he is saying he doesn't believe his own filing but he couldn't/wouldn't talk Nick out of it. Irrespective of whether it is sanctionable I'd want my lawyer to have more discretion, even if he had that conversation with me in private.
It's a request for the appeals court to even hear an appeal, and not actually an appeal itself, so hopefully not long. I would assume it's not customary for them to put the brakes to the lower court's process, unless there's a really good reason. And this ain't it.
