A truly inspiring performance, indeed.

Notre Dame’s stadium is pretty awesome. I’ve been to three games out there and loved all of them. I’m partial to Beaver Stadium, though.

I don't know why I think this

But if someone mentioned Lady Antebellum to him, he would respond in one of these ways:

A) “WHO THE $&# IS SHE? WHY SHOULD I CARE?”
or
B) “I do love need u now so sweet”

Trying to figure out which tweets are for the Oscars and which are for the NBA ASG is the most entertaining thing of either so far.

Is this for attention? Make himself feel good about himself? Make himself look good to others? Or is he just a fool?

If Derek Jeter had said that, they’d have written a story about how good of a person he is, trying to help out his fellow New York sports star. A-Rod, though? Worst intentions ever.

IT WAS A JOKE

The Lin sleeping on a couch thing was kind of well known. And if you’re making a point about how A-Rod didn’t know that he had his own place now, I didn’t know that, and I like to think that I follow the NBA. God forbid he try to joke around with the press.

Plummer won an Oscar?

If plumbers have awards, they should give one to Christopher Actor.

by long time listener on Feb 26, 2012 10:01 PM EST reply actions  

I’ve been meaning to ask you a question for over a week. Have you ever seen a video called Don’t Talk to the Police by James Duane? We watched it in Con Law and it’s possibly the most interesting thing I’ve seen so far in law school.

"Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains"

by WhatwouldJeterdo on Feb 26, 2012 10:27 PM EST up reply actions  

no, I didn't see it

It sounds 5th Amendment-related, and our first year Con Law class didn’t cover 5th Amendment stuff. I did take Criminal Procedure, which covered the 5th Amendment, but my professor (I had the same for Con Law and Crim Pro) didn’t show it to us there, either.

by long time listener on Feb 26, 2012 10:32 PM EST up reply actions  

it is good advice, though

I have a friend who’s an ADA in the Bronx. He says he loves getting a case file and seeing that the guy talked to the police. It’s always the guys who think they can talk their way out of it who wind up in the most trouble.

by long time listener on Feb 26, 2012 10:34 PM EST up reply actions  

They have it on YouTube if you were interested, but it’s pretty lengthy. I think the most interesting part was that he said people who are innocent are always the ones who want to talk the most and end up saying something stupid. Innocent or not, just don’t talk to them at all. Really good advice most people wouldn’t really think of.

by WhatwouldJeterdo on Feb 26, 2012 10:36 PM EST up reply actions  

always call a lawyer

Especially if you’re innocent. Actually, there’s an article today in the Times about innocent people who confess. My friend (the same guy who’s an ADA) did a clinic in law school and they wound up getting a guy freed who had confessed. The moral of the story – don’t talk to the police.

by long time listener on Feb 26, 2012 10:40 PM EST up reply actions  

After the guy was finished speaking he turned it over to a 3L student who had served as a police officer for years to give his perspective. He talked about getting people to write “apology letters” for whatever it was they supposedly did and then using it as a written confession. Or getting someone to talk “off the record”. It’s kind of incredible.

by WhatwouldJeterdo on Feb 26, 2012 10:49 PM EST up reply actions  

yeah, they do give cops a lot of leeway

They can flat-out lie and the confession is still admissible. Which is why a suspect should say nothing until there’s a lawyer.

you get to watch movies in con law?

so jealous. i was cold-called first day of class so i’ve been safe for a while. my prof does very little to keep it interesting. you reading the varat-cohen-amar casebook?

It’s the only video we’ve seen, but Con Law is easily my favorite class. And yep, that’s the book we use.
