Re threats, mixed emotions here, had way worse to me as divorce lawyer, seen far worse, up to 5 years for things many many people do to their spouses, I guess the unequal application bothers me and the harsh punishment for emotional responses to the most trying times in a persons life. Of course, I didn’t like being threatened. Idk what’s everyone else think?
I agree that it seems like excessive punishment, but, in light of recent (terrible) events, I don’t find it at all surprising. On one hand, anyone dumb enough to send those emails seems too stupid to be dangerous; on the other hand, that person has very poor rational decision making and that can always escalate.
Ther is no such thing as too stupid to be dangerous. The same people who have too little impulse control to stop themselves from sending emails like that often have too little impulse control to stop themselves from doing worse. And it doesn’t take any amount of intelligence to attack someone at a depo, in a law office or even in court.
No way! If he was willing to harass and threaten an attorney that way, imagine what his wife lived with for 29 years. People don’t just suddenly become controlling, threatening freaks over night or because they’re getting divorced. I’ve settled many, many divorce cases where the parties can’t stand each other and they don’t resort to this. Fuck him! The primary reason you might perceive an “unequal application” is because most of these situations end up in front of family court judges who won’t do jack about anything. Judge Pieper absolutely did the right thing.
Daniel Penny acquitted. Probably the correct outcome by the jury (although I was a mere spectator and likely do not have all the evidence they heard and saw).

Anyone have the details on the massive law enforcement presence at sky knoll next to stone bridge park in summerlin on Friday night? Dozens of police units, helicopter spotlighting a house for ~ 10 hours, SWAT, drones, robotic dog. It sounds like it was a domestic violence/hostage situation that resolved Saturday morning. But not seeing news covering the story.
Dark humor: healthcare guy shot could’ve been saved but did not have “signed statements from at least three specialists confirming that the bullet wounds were not a pre-existing condition”

He’s an attorney, that’s why IMHO he got the book thrown at him.
Victim is an attorney (and best friends with ex-Gov. Sisolak’s daughter). And he didn’t want to take a plea deal. Nothing ever happens in vacuum.
But I am saying HE (the defendant) is also an attorney…aka the old “he should have known better” argument re sentencing.
I know both the victim and Ashley Sisolak and I’m not aware of them being friends, never mind “best friends.”
Do u have leather bound books and does your desk smell of mahogany?
Maybe one or two. No.
Ask Ashley if she was there for the entire trial then.

This is a great example of FAFO.
Screw this guy making threats, and kudos to Judge Pieper. More of this, please.
Now root out the practitioners in our community who do the same thing.
AG does it constantly.
AZ Bar Complaints
AZ common sense. David Byers is the AZ ACO. We should try to hire him to run OBC.
Yes please.

You are the 5 millionth person to tell some variation of this joke. Don’t quit your day job.
Objection, ineffective hyperbole.
