  1. Picks with friends is my favorite segment of the week.
  2. At what age do the kids actually get into and appreciate this? I’ve tried it for my 2.5 year old and he could care less. I think maybe he doesn’t get it or has trouble understanding their accents. All he wants is Paw Patrol and it’s killing me. I’m trying to push some other stuff for variety but nothing else sticks.
  3. Yes, having the government be bound by Justice and the defense being bound by zealously representing the accused has worked just fine for a couple hundred years. It might not be perfect, but it’s the best system that exists.
  4. I actually have to agree with Sack here, begrudgingly so. Prosecutors take an oath that other lawyers do not. They are sworn to uphold that oath and "to see that justice is done." Having done that job for a decade and now being on the other side, I do know that "justice" is not always defined by everyone the same way...but the system is set up so that a prosecutor is not supposed to seek a conviction on every case and at all costs. Proving the case beyond a reasonable doubt is the job if that's what they believe justice demands, but dismissing the case or reducing it to a lesser charge is also the job if that's what they believe best serves the interest of justice on any given case.
  5. Are you saying its your understanding that in Texas the jury instructions are read after closing arguments are made? Because that is not the case. I only practice criminal law so I can't speak to civil jury trials, but the judge always reads the jury instructions after we have conferenced and agreed on them but right before closing arguments. The last thing the jury hears are the closings before they go back to to deliberate. The State gets to argue first and last while the defense argues second, but not last. The last the thing the jurors hear before they go back in the room is the last thing the prosecutor says.
  6. They must be married women.
  7. Yes, obviously no one here likes child rapists. But you keep circling back to this as if it somehow justifies KR’s actions. That’s your great point? KR didn’t know his history and it had nothing to do with his decision to pull the trigger. And if he had, it still wouldn’t be justified. He needs to be prosecuted and punished by the State for those crimes. The death penalty is not a legal punishment for rape, child or otherwise. Using this as your reason for supporting the shooting only furthers the point that in and of itself it wasn’t justified. Because if the victim had been pure and innocent you wouldn’t have an argument to make.
  8. Sorry, I think I was unclear. I live up in Plano and work in McKinney/Plano most days. Every few weeks I have to go down to the Dallas Courthouses and I’m looking for good lunch spots down there on those days.
  9. I work mostly in McKinney and Plano.
  10. What time do I need to show up at Cattleack tomorrow to get lunch at a reasonable time without an hour wait?
  11. I’d like to renew this thread post covid. I’m in Dallas proper once every couple of weeks for work and am often looking for lunch places. Any suggestions for good weekday lunch spots? Solo or with associates, drinking and not.
  12. My buddy went to TCU and was rushing Klein’s fraternity in ‘99 or so. He brought a date to one of their party’s one night and Klein ended up taking her home and banging her. Buddy did not join their fraternity. Also…Brendan Fraser was pretty great in “Condor” a little known but good series based on Three Days of the Condor.
  13. That dude is just a phenomenal actor. I’ll actively seek out stuff he is in.
  14. Minka Kelly. I always thought she’d go on to be way bigger after FNL. She’s a damn smoke show.
  15. Yeah, I’d agree it’s pricey unless they’re in really bad shape and in need of more work but you just don’t want a new pair. Roma is where I’ve gone as well. Unless it’s my Lucchese’s, then I take them up to their store in Frisco.

  17. Shouldn’t he then shut up and let the guest answer his question? In those clips he repeatedly cuts Gupta off while he’s trying to respond and asks the question again and again and again. I understand nailing someone down and not letting them get away with a non-answer, it’s the art of cross examination. But at some point he does need to be quiet long enough to hear the actual response.
  18. Sure, but he wasn’t a 2nd round pick.
  19. WHAT THE FUCK FOX!!??
  20. Yikes. That stumble. Shit, can they go back and call a penalty on that?
