Welcome to Litsy!

This was interesting. I deal with broad statutes that the legislature decided to let the courts (and the agencies dealing with them) figure out every day. And I can imagine that I could easily accidentally incriminate myself. 12/15 #Jumpstart2020

Excellent book that boils down to this..only say I want a lawyer. That's it. Only that. Seriously. Even pleading the fifth is getting folks in trouble.

Here‘s a peek into how my twisted mind works: #Chapter15 in NC law is the criminal code. So, instead of opening my current read to its 15th chapter, my mind went straight to crime, which took me to avoiding wrongful arrests. 🤷🏻‍♀️#AprilBookishMadness @maich

In 2015, the Justice Department and the FBI formally admitted that "nearly every examiner in an elite FBI forensic unit gave flawed testimony in almost all trials in which they offered evidence against criminal defendants over more than a two-decade period before 2000," involving over 2,500 criminal convictions. One national news journal correctly concluded that such scandals are now "occurring with mind-numbing frequency."

I‘m #😡 that this book needed to be written. But everyone should read it. #emojinov @RealLifeReading

I hate that this book is necessary, but everyone should read it. POC between the ages of 13 and 30 should memorize it. Our criminal justice system is stacked in favor of the prosecution and the innocent need to use every tool at their disposal.

Back to more serious reading. This book explores problems with our criminal justice system through the window of your right to remain silent. He's got a Youtube video on this subject which is well worth watching. #readingforjustice #resist

Very interesting read(well listen). The Author makes some very good points. Not sure if I agree 100% but very good points and interesting points. Everyone should probably take a look at this book

My book haul from Scupernong Books this afternoon! #indiebookstore #bookhaul

Because recently, very high level courts have allowed prosecutors to use silence as evidence of guilt. Necessary read. Current. Excellent sources. James Duane did a fantastic thing. I wish more activist lawyers would speak up. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Legal experts now agree that just about everybody in the nation, whether they know it or not, is guilty of numerous felonies for which they could be prosecuted. One reliable estimate is that the average American now commits approximately three felonies a day."

"Legend has it that one wicked Roman emperor had his laws posted on the top of a high pillar so that no citizen could find and read them, but at least you could get at them with a ladder."

We routinely see people in power, such as police officers and government officials, pleading the fifth. These are officials who have made a career out of talking people into waiving their right to remain silent, but when the questions are suddenly directed at them, they will not waive their own. You need to pause for a moment and let that sink in.
