  1. LMJ is missing in the wrong places
  2. What is the back story on this footage, was it recently uncovered and/or restored using modern techniques, or has it been around for a while and just happened to resurface on Twitter?

    Tex Mex

    Anybody have a date yet got the EyM reopening? They said late July on Instagram but I haven't seen anything since, and I am jonesin Hard.
  4. Oh yeah WillCo folks are easily the most deserving of said ire.
  5. I don't think it was ineffective assistance of counsel, which as I mentioned above has a really high bar. But I am of the opinion that there was sufficient smoke to have to withdraw. I think that there are some things in Rule 1.6, especially the comments, that would lead to withdrawal. https://www.legalethicstexas.com/Ethics-Resources/Rules/Texas-Disciplinary-Rules-of-Professional-Conduct/I--CLIENT-LAWYER-RELATIONSHIP/1-06-Conflict-of-Interest--General-Rule And I also admittedly hold criminal law attorneys (defense and prosecution equally) to pretty high standards when it comes to avoiding even the appearance of conflict.
  6. Can we put him on the Texans so that he takes BOB down with him?
  7. To be fair, I making some assumptions and drawing some inferences. If my assumptions are wrong then my conclusion is probably not justified. But, here it is in a nutshell. 1. My understanding is that Cummings said "Nope not gonna go there" at one or more points in time in response to the theory that GK was not the perp, but rather the kid that looked like GK was. 2. My understanding is that Cummings was representing family members (sibling(s)?) of that other kid on unrelated matters. 3. While it may have seemed to be reasonable strategy to focus the defense on "didn't happen" rather than "you got the wrong guy," I wonder if a different lawyer would have spent more time on the latter theory. I get that hindsight is 20/20 here, I am likely influenced by the fact that we now know that GK wasn't there, and I may be dismissing how late in the game the other kid theory came up. 4. In my opinion, because the representation of the siblings could have influenced the consideration of the alternate perp theory, Cummings should have withdrawn. To be sure, Cummings would not be found to have behaved unethically by the bar, and it would never really rise to the high standard for ineffective assistance of counsel. Cummings put on a the best defense she could. But for the above reasons, I think that she should have withdrawn and let a different lawyer decided how to treat the alternative perp theory.
  8. Cummings was one of the instructors at UT Law's Criminal Defense Clinic when I took it in 2007 or 2008. I liked her a lot, and she was a very good defense attorney and effective instructor. But man, this whole thing. I don't have an issue with her not participating/giving interviews. Pretty much everything they would have been interested in would have been privileged. But I'm hindsight, once questions started coming out about the other kid that looked the same, she should have withdrawn from representing GK.
  9. All you need are those five glorious words.
  10. Jofra not giving up just yet...
  11. Exactly. So frustrating. Defense and GK need a massive overhaul.
  12. Pathetic defending. Where is JT to rip everyone else a new one.
  13. Man would love to see some Windies fire in the bowling after lunch so they can set up a victory.
  14. Captain America is a monster right now
  15. Ok that Lindor prank on Tito is hilarious.

    Austin FC

    Any predictions on who the player might be?
  17. Now that is more like it. Finish strong and lock up Champions League play.
  18. Captain America scores. Shocker. (I credit him with that goal)
  19. That is what makes it so awesome
  20. Happy to take the win and move on.
  21. FA Cup game is on ESPN+. People still paying $5 a month for that with barely any sports to watch?

    Memento

    How does he remember he has short term memory loss? I don't know if the Remember Sammy Jenkis thing is enough. But if that is a plot hole the whole movie falls apart, and it is a really fun movie, so I am not gonna harp on it.
  23. Well shit. I really liked him. But if there's truth to this (and to be clear, I am not saying that in a question the victim kind of way, but rather a waiting for investigation to finish kind if way) he gotta go.
