T. Greg tweeting about how fucked his client will be in court tomorrow. When challenged about the possible impropriety of such a statement, his response was to say that no one would be able to figure out who he was talking about.

I don't know what's dumber, that he's saying this in public, or that he thinks we'll believe he's doing cases in three different counties.

Just curious if him tweeting about his clients case like this is grounds for malpractice, I mean he's always being a "lawyer" for sport but would be funny if one of his clients sued him for his tweets.

He was bitching about this last week.

He expected to leave the County A courthouse early because cases were getting continued with the ADA quarantined. That apparently didn't happened. Next stop, Agency X for a document. Lady who has it doesn't come in until 1 PM. Not a problem. He goes to the County B courthouse to get it (an hour's drive away). They don't have it... or the other case he has there. (It was put in the wrong courtroom). To get it moved, he has to talk to the ADA... who left for an early lunch and will return at 2 PM. But T. Greg needs to be in County C at 2 PM. It's a 30-90 minute drive. He hopes he can do his business there quickly and come back. He arrives and... it's crowded. The trial from the AM is still going. He prays he can get his stuff in County C moved quickly and get back to County B in time. He does and gets back on the highway. Good News: He got the document he needed. Bad News: Court costs increased by $3 and he can't use the check he wrote from his trust account and has to use his law firm debit card. He can't express in words how much he hates literally everything about our court system.

BTW: Nick is supposed to be jealous that he's not doing this.

How did you take a screenshot of that without twitter nuking itself?

Nick makes a living literally calling people garbage and fat. While I believe some part of Nick likes to pit his wits against prosecutors and win (and likes to help people in need of a lawyer), it's either that or literally make money staying at home and shooting the breeze on the internet.

I guess Douchette's twitch bits weren't enough to live off of, and maybe the optometrist wife is wondering if she made a good decision.
 
He is truly the example for failed lawyer now. His client might not appreciative seeing those tweets and knowing Greg's clients,that could be nasty.

And somehow this dipshit didn't see the potential scheduling conflict here a mile out and do anything about it until the very day of trial?

Especially if he's been giving that client some bullshit song and dance about how good a job he is doing (when he in fact does nothing but tweet all day).

Mmmm, yeah. Well, about that.

(M)UNREASONABLY LOUD NOISES SIMON,M GPD
CLS: P: L: PLEA: VER: JUDGMENT:

From the Wake County Courthouse for March 22, 2021.

The rest of her dox are trivial to get but I don't feel like doxing someone just for having a shitty lawyer who gives substandard legal assistance to minorities while shit-talking their case on Twitter and thereby committing a breach of attorney-client privilege if not outright malpractice, while taunting people to do just that. Fuck you, Doucette, you absolute piece of shit.

This is probably the incident the case is about:

A Wake County District Court judge ordered the Garner Police Department to return an alarm clock, cell phones, and computers seized from the home of a black family two weeks ago during a late-night raid over an alleged noise ordinance violation that stemmed from a white neighbor’s complaint that they were playing Malcolm X speeches loudly.

As the INDY first reported, police originally charged Mikisa Thompson with violating the ordinance, a class C misdemeanor that carries a maximum $500 fine, in April after neighbor Don Barnette called 911 to complain about the speeches, which he referred to as “Islamic-Jihadist type messages” in an interview.

Police told Thompson to turn down her speaker and issued a citation. After she allegedly did not comply with their orders, they seized the $250 speaker from her backyard. (The police say the content of the noise had nothing to do with their actions—that would be unconstitutional—but the search warrant twice noted that she was playing Malcolm X.)

She apparently won this particular case so I'm not sure what changed.


Considering this is a misdemeanor appeal, presumably it is the state that is appealing, and I would guess over the ruling that the ordinance in question is unconstitutionally vague and overbroad.

Oh goody, so there's another to find. Or he could have just realized he fucked up and threw out a red herring. Since I'm not going to search anything but Durham and adjacent counties, like Wake, I'll wait a bit. There are ways of finding these things out later.

There's Kiwi autism, and then there's lawyerly autism.

What would this be?

This is one of those citations that should be followed by a But see signal, in this case to Goldwater v. Ginzburg. No direct evidence that the defendant actually knew the psychological analysis they published of Barry Goldwater was false, or even that they entertained serious doubts as to its truthfulness, but the Second Circuit upheld the verdict for the plaintiff.

A number of subsequent Circuit decisions have chipped away at the strict application of this language, and the Supreme Court has not granted cert. in these cases. It's somewhat disingenuous to ignore that trial courts and appeals courts have not applied this language as strictly as it would seem to be, although it does remain "good law."

It's a reasonable enough position to take that Nick is just wrong on this, but it is not entirely intellectually honest to pretend this is absolutely guaranteed to be how it's actually applied by a court.

That said, I'm not saying Park is wrong here. He's citing the watershed case in the Supreme Court's definition of the "reckless indifference" sort of "actual malice," one which the Court has not revisited or overturned. The Circuit Courts have glossed the meaning of this, but this has neither been adopted nor rebuked by SCOTUS itself.

This is incidentally how you could end up with the bizarre result that Ron Toye gets off entirely while Monica gets nailed. Ron could simply be an absolutely credulous fool who believed everything he was saying. However, if a jury finds that Monica lied about something she had personal knowledge of, it follows inevitably that she had actual knowledge of its falsity: she was there.

Except Nick says it because that what the Court of Appeal pretty much said in Watkins vs Miller.
Can't point where it was exactly (and I recall thinking that Nick was simplifying that point when watching his analysis), but the COA did say somewhere in its ruling that the woman saying she believed what she claimed to be true wasn't enough to refute malice was at play there. Basically, the court aknowledged that you can think you're telling the truth, and yet still be using it to maliciously try to harm someone's reputation.

Actual malice is different from the malice you're describing. Actual malice is reckless disregard for the truth or knowledge of falsity. The malice you're talking about is the general definition of malice, i.e. wishing harm on someone. Regular malice can be used as evidence for actual malice (e.g. you hate Vic so much you knowingly spread harmful lies about him) but they're not the same thing.

That could be an interesting result, but it could also be incredibly funny. Some of Ron's arguable fact statements were Ron personally knew of several women who Vic had assaulted. That could lead up to a chain of events where Ron has to admit that Monica and the Yost twins lied to him.

Except, aren't the VAs and the main part of KV going so hard that you could nail them for either one?
