Technology is cool.
seriously. I totally agree.
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I habe been drinking!1! Long day of depositions, short evening of margaritas.
Jesse, I asked b/c I had done an evaluation of a judge in Queens for his reelection, for a Bar association. I was curious whether that was (a) the same judge or (2) the same court.
ita, I can't imagine how it prejudices the plaintiff to replace "may" with "will." It may keep the cops from being less than firm about it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And?
BTW, the court building is really quite nice. It's new and airy, with modern columns out front.

No and Nope!
I asked the judge what he had learned in his four years on the bench. Direct quote: "A lot about myself...a lot about others." I put that in my report. Also, Me: "Do you think you need to learn anything for election to the [higher court]?" "Well, we're all works in progress..." OMG. Please god let me never have a case in front of That Guy.

Cute shrift hair!

Classic!
This guy is asking everyone about their hobbies, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to fess up to my Law and Order addiction, if I make it into the box. They asked the first group.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't imagine how it prejudices the plaintiff to replace "may" with "will."
But they mean different things! I know I'd be sitting there in court thinking those bastards lied to me and didn't use all the material I gave them.
Aha. Found what I remember from the UK:
The caution states that you do not have to say anything unless you wish to do so, and that what you say may be given in evidence at court.
The caution then goes on to warn you that it may harm your defence if you fail to mention anything at the police station which you later rely on in court.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

That's the one I've heard used on British cop shows.
