Axomamma, Antifa from birthI'm sorry, but I have to take a minute here.
I'm transcribing oral testimony in a federal case attempting to claw back PPP money, and the US Attorney just asked the witness about "profit and lost."
This is going to be a long day.
@jik I only go to linked in to confirm/get info for #LegalTranscription. Will it do this if not logged in?

In a high-stakes legal case, the testimony of an expert witness is often the "make or break" factor. Whether it’s a surgeon explaining a rare complication or a digital forensic expert tracing a cyberattack, their words carry immense weight.

Murder isn't funny but sometimes it makes me LOL.
"Q All right. Now, among other items that were seized that day, was there a can of soup that was recovered?
A Yes, there was."
I've never had this come up before when transcribing a legal matter - an attorney of indeterminate gender. I have to identify speakers - typically, "Mr. Smith" or "Ms. Smith." But how does one identify someone who's indeterminate?
I want to be respectful but I'm at a loss what to do.
I am transcribing a civil bench trial where a wife is seeking an annulment. She speaks Russian, he speaks Turkish. There are five people speaking at once most of the time - the judge, the wife, her interpreter, the husband, and his interpreter. It was really fun when the wife's witness made an appearance - via telephone. She speaks Azerbi.
It's like being caught in this Abbott and Costello skit. For hours and hours. Three days, in fact.

Never seen this before in the almost four decades I've been transcribing legal proceedings. A judge has ordered transcripts in at least six different civil cases filed by one lunatic in state court within the last year. He's also filed a bunch in federal court during the same time period.
I had previously transcribed one of the matters and now I get to do another! Apparently the judges are NOT HAPPY with this lunatic taking up their time with ridiculous complaints.
"The presumption of innocence is not an idle theory to be cast aside, discarded or disposed of by the jury by whim, passion or prejudice. The Defendant is not to be found guilty based on suspicion or conjecture but only based upon evidence produced before you in this courtroom."
"So there were at least 94 sharp-force injuries to Ms. X's head."
In total, Ms. X was stabbed 219 times. And then her body was dumped in a marsh next to a highway. All because she told her boyfriend she didn't want to see him any more.
I learned a new Spanish phrase today!
"Yo no como mierda."
#LegalTranscription can be very educational.
