Devin Stone, adjunct law professor and host of LegalEagle on Youtube, joins WIRED to lay down the law and answer your burning questions from Twitter. When is a grand jury used over a regular jury? Is there a line between free speech and what's considered hate speech? Why invoke the fifth amendment if you're innocent? Watch as Devin answers these questions (and plenty more, on Law Support. Arthur: Most criminal defense lawyers will tell you that they NEVER put the defendant on the stand unless absolutely necessary. Quite often it's more about perceived guilt vs. actually being guilty of anything. tl; dr = The court of public opinion is the most dangerous one and it's usually far easier to build a defense with the jury by having them not take the stand.

The better question for perjury is the value in pursuing it. Some prosecutors will ask what it will serve to go after it. I think in the case of Amber Heard, there were some objective lies she told, but that doesn't mean going after her for them will serve the interests of justice outright.
A year ago, there were a few attorneys who explained that even with the obvious perjury, it's still complicated for the prosecution and may find that the civil judgment serves the interests of justice enough to not go after it criminally.

Paraphrasing here, but, 'You don't hear about the boring cases, only the crazy ones because those are those most news worthy. '
And now we know why Florida-Man is a thing! (No sealed court records)
I guarantee there is plenty of stuff just as crazy nation wide that you don't hear about for the most part, because most of the information available to the general public and the news is rather boring.

I d be interested in his thoughts on arguably the strangest Supreme Court case ever-
Nix vs Hedden, 1893- The Supreme Court ruled that by law the Tomato is a vegetable in the United States, despite it being a fruit
(Something about tariffs and common language; maybe he understands it better)

The petit in petit jury isn't Latin, it's Norman French. William of Normandy became King of England in 1066 and changed the legal system. Petit jury means small jury, ie, only 12 members, where a grand (big) jury has up to 23 members.

The pleading the 5th one is so important. This is an adversarial legal system. It s not about guilt and innocence, it s about whether a case can be substantiated or not. You plead the fifth so that nothing can be INTERPRETED as evidence

Snicker-giggle-snerk. using ChatGPT to research case law. trying not to lose it. Hey ChatGPT, are these legal citations real? Yes! facepalm Good enough for me! Your honor, I'd like to cite the fake cases as precedent! ROFCOPTER!

You do not have to say anything, but you may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something you later rely on in court. Anything you do say will be taken down and may be used in evidence.

US law is literally uncountable. It's impossible to even agree how to start counting laws. We need sunset clauses and some bored senators to start removing ridiculous laws that never should have passed.

I never needed a lawyer until my mother passed away unexpectedly two months ago and I needed help settling her estate. Having a probate attorney has made my life so much easier

10: 50 My dad was a lawyer and would always say that you don't learn how to practice law in law school you learn how to research and understand case law.

Why are many supposedly-modern legal systems adversarial? It seems to set up the wrong definition of 'winning'. and some objectionable incentives.

A lot of those websites/apps also require your location data so that they can comply with whatever decision your state has made regarding online gambling

petit is actually french for small, so the fitting pendant (more french, sorry) to the grand jury (even more french, deal with it)

Petit is also french for Small and Grand is french for Large. It could explain why a petit jury and grand jury is used.
reply

Why plead the fifth if you aren't guilty? - Person who believes no innocent person has ever been wrongfully accused ever.
