... the Justice Center, maybe ten by six. If you find one with a couple of chairs, you're lucky; usually, you wind up trying to explain what's going on to your client while you're both
standing there, him gazing down at a rug scarred by cigarette burns, your explanation interrupted by another lawyer poking his head in to see
if the room's free. That's after you and your client wait forty-five minutes to catch an elevator up to the courtroom. Whoops, did I say four rooms? On a number of floors, all ...

... Perry's general counsel, David Medina, and his wife were indicted for tampering with evidence after their house burned down in 2007, with local fire marshals ruling that it
had been arson. The charges were dismissed after the Medinas presented evidence from top experts showing that the fire marshals had gotten it wrong, and that house burned down as
a result of an electrical fire. Medina was counsel to Perry in 2004, when Perry's office received a fax outlining the problems ...

This will probably not come as a surprise to many of my regular readers, but I sometimes have a problem keeping my mouth shut. Exhibit 347 was my Christmas story post, relating the
trial of Elizabeth, a home health care aide. I was defending her against a charge of theft, based upon her having written checks for her car payment on the account of her patient, a
wheelchair-bound man with cerebral palsy and the functional IQ of a 6th-grader. Normally, the names and places in my war stories are ...

... plain error, which we'll return to later this week. The gang down in Columbus was busy, too, but mostly with disciplinary cases; no fewer than eight of them, including one in which
a former municipal judge was disbarred after being convicted for burning down his house for the insurance money. A more usual case was Mandelbaum v. Mandelbaum, in which the
court held that spousal support can't be modified absent a change in circumstances that wasn't contemplated at the time of the original decree. ...

... last week, State v. Silverman, also resulted in a clear holding, but with some deeper undertones. A four-year-old child had made statements to the authorities about his father
sexually abusing him, but before trial, the mother burned down the house, killing the child. The question raised was simply whether introduction of the child's testimony under
Evidence Rule 807, a general exception for statements by a child in a sex abuse case, required a preliminary showing that the child was competent ...

... v. Arrington doesn't fare so well. He's standing outside his SUV, pumping gas, when a police officer approaches, thinking that he knows the owner of the SUV. Turns out he doesn't,
of course, but he smells some burning marijuana in the vehicle, and the resultant search leads to the discovery of the customary assortment of drugs. Arrington claims that the
officer didn't have the right to stop his vehicle, and there is some dispute as to the facts; the defense witnesses claimed that the officer ...
