    True or false? The decision by Perry's defense team to not have him testify was a mistake.

    False. Its almost never a good idea 

    D not testifying is the general rule, but in a self defense case, in many cases the D has to.

    I've put my client on the stand before for self defense (NG)

    His earlier statement seemed to not justify self defense, which would need to be cleaned up. Of course, cross would be ugly, given his social media / phone data. A little to gain and perhaps a lot to lose. I don't second guess his lawyers, they are good.

    If I was the prosecutor, I would have hoped he did testify. Lots of ammo for cross.

    Anyone grown Lavender? I bought one with my peppers a few weeks back and it died pretty quickly. Possibly overwatered it? 

    I grow quite a bit. Make sure it has excellent drainage and rarely water it.

    I do think it’s a gopher, but it’s weird. Like a Trans-Pecos Rat Snake.

    Exactly, the front end sure looks more like a trans Pecos rat snake, and the markings are not quite what you would expect from a gopher snake. Also, the head just isn’t quite right.

    I’m going with Gopher Snake, but the markings near the head have me second guessing that.

    Same. I can’t come up with a better answer, but some thing about it gives me some doubt

    Most likely enter the classroom like they did multiple times in the video. They didn’t know where the shooter was at first. They kept clearing rooms.

    They did a fantastic job. They did get lucky - but they didn’t shit their pants like the uvalde cops did.


    NPD got extremely lucky not to have multiple officers shot or killed. Had the subject been barricaded, loaded for bear, and a possessed a little tactical skills, that fast push would have been disastrous. But that’s the job they signed up for.

    I'm wanting to get a lemon and lime tree this year and keep them in pots so we can bring them in when the weather gets bad.

     

    Has anyone done this?

    Any idea where would be the best place to get them?

    Tips?

    Thanks 

     

    I have one of each and get lots of fruit. This spring they were covered in blooms. They go inside a warm closet with a grow light during cold spells. The closet smells amazing.

  7. The pictures show no injury to her. The whole case is bullshit. The state didn’t even try to reduce the felony to a class A misdemeanor assault - bodily injury - family violence for which the state only had to prove he recklessly caused her bodily injury (which only requires a showing of physical pain). 
     

    The only thing he is guilty of is not getting rid of her before her “issues” got him fired. He was told many times by those closest to him.

    I actually understand smalltown cops, LEO pensioneers, and glorified security guards Barney Fifing the rescue of children in the face of a suicidal shooter with a hand cannon. It’s sad, but understandable that we’d have a culture of Corporal Uphams, especially after the initial hesitation, confusion, groupthink, and fear.

    The coverup and lack of accountability and transparency is 10x worse due to its combination of cynicism and calculation. We have a governor incapable of doing his job, which includes coordination and governance of local, state, and federal agencies.

    CNN and Texas Tribune are the adults in the room and fighting with our local and state government to demand accountability.

    While I get that, and I can even sympathize to an extent. This is the EXACT scenario that a decent percentage of them fantasize about when they're daydreaming on the side of the road with a radar gun. Barge in, double tap some punk, save the kids, be a national hero, leave your wife for Lauren Boerbert. It was all right there for them, but, when push came to shove, they are just another coward with a gun.

     

    Upham. 

    It’s the perfect summary.

    Your mind can’t imagine the scene inside a corner of that classroom.
