the imbroglio

The poor imbroglio has been all screwed up visually, and pretty much dead content-wise, for too long. Changes are coming. No promises, but just saying.

FYI: One reason I rarely post here anymore is b/c the design does not reflect what I’d really like to do with this page. I’d really like to make some minor changes, and maybe over a longer term redesign the whole thing, but I never seem to find the time…. I made few notes to myself about how all the pieces fit together so now if I start digging around under the hood it’s like starting from zero.

One might think that Kathy Kelly, of the Capital Post-Conviction Project of Louisiana, jumped for joy upon discovering this blog post by Patrick Frey, a Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney who writes an off-the-clock blog, Patterico’s Pontifications. Not only did Frey build a case for witness misconduct and evidence tampering by two prosecution witnesses in a Louisiana murder trial that landed Kelly’s client, Jimmy Duncan, on death row, but he even conducted an interview with another prosecution expert witness. Given that a post like this one — coming from a prosecutor — could potentially provide grounds for appeal, you’d have expected Kelly to get on the phone with Frey ASAP.Kelly did indeed contact Frey — to threaten him with an ethics complaint!It’s kind of a crazy story and apparently the misunderstanding has since been resolved.

I know it doesn’t seem to readers of this blog as if anything is happening here. If you subscribe to the RSS feed you’ve gotten a few twitter updates recently, but that’s about it. The truth is, I’m kind of busy, but I’ve also been thinking about what to do w/the site.

Random thought while reading 9 REasons Not to Attend Law School”: Lawyers who regret and complain about choosing to become lawyers are a little like addicts complaining about taking their first drink, hit, whatever. Shut up and deal, people.
And yes, I’m talking to myself here.
BTW: I’m still trying to figure out what to [...]

Still here, just busy. I’ve been having a little fun helping out at PD Stuff here and here, while also applying for jobs, searching for jobs, trying to network, oh, and don’t forget getting ready for company…. Oh, and trying to figure out what to do with this blog.

So says a hatchet job article in the Boston Herald.

One of my favorite blawgs in the last year seems to have disappeared. Woman In Black was an experienced public defender in some western state who shared great insights about her practice, constitutional law, and also some details of her particular state’s law and practice.

By which I mean you people subscribing to this blog in an RSS/newsreader. Has it seemed like this blog has been dead for, like, forever?… But it’s also b/c the feed was screwed up, I think, by a WP update or something.

Please ignore. This is a test.
