Col. Boozy BadgerPerson who almost hit me in the courthouse parking garage, getting in the elevator with me: “I’m here to fight a traffic case. Thank god the state’s lawyer didn’t see that!”
Me: “…you’re not gonna believe this.”
Inkblitz 🔜 ???, MFF, ???@BoozyBadger They're about to have a bad day 😅
Dan Fixes Coin-Ops@inkblitz @BoozyBadger (I apologize, I really do, but my daughter invented the Goodger (which is of course the opposite of a badger) and it's been bouncing around my head waiting for an exit all week, sorry mr badger but your number came up)
Sorien@BoozyBadger Bwaaaahahaaha. :)
Marshie@BoozyBadger and what's when he knew, he fucked up.

Dagnabbit, Pascaline! 💥
Cactuar Joe@BoozyBadger Shoulda gone, "Yeah, that'd be pretty bad." and then just stare at him as he walks into the courtroom. :3
SaphHalf serious question; if you're directly wronged by the defendant and you're the opposing council, do you have to recuse yourself or what's the ethics guidance in that position?
Delta Wye@Shinyraptor @BoozyBadger Part of me says “Yes this has an impact” and part of me says “They are prosecuting based on facts about a separate past incident, so it should have no bearing.”
@Shinyraptor In this case it has no bearing. The whole matter is about what happened in an underlying case - I hand up records and I’m done after saying “This is what happened there, so what happens here is a matter of law based on that.” There’s nothing like prosecutorial discretion in my job.
@BoozyBadger Ah, alright! I figured it would be very objectively driven but the closest I come to interfacing with legal is applications of non-binding federal guidance and regulatory stuff... So I'm generally clueless lol
Thanks for the answer!
🦊 🍸Faux around & find out⚠️🏴@BoozyBadger - Karmatic justices like these are moments to just slowly savor. Might I suggest a nice glass of… “Perhaps the defendant could take a moment to describe their most recent driving experiences and actions behind the wheel…”
P.I.T. (he/they)@BoozyBadger That is, and i cannot stress this enough, fucking hilarious

pandabutter [I have moved]@BoozyBadger I'm gonna need to hear how this one plays out. If the parking lot has security cameras, do you get to have them play the footage?

Ajax B. Coriander@BoozyBadger I would have paid SO MUCH to see his face in that moment XD
llywrch@BoozyBadger A relative of mine was a parole officer. One day, riding the light rail to work, some young guys talked in front of him about how they were going to BS their parole officer. They figured since he was Black, they could talk openly about their plans.
Upon arriving to work, he looked up their parole officer & gave him an update. Then during the interview paid his colleague a visit.
That happened 15-20 years ago. Still brings a smile to my face.
